In May 2018 we welcomed to Cardiff a Nobel Prize winner: Professor Barry Barish, who was one of the scientists who founded the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, As regular listeners will remember, LIGO made the first direct detection of gravitational waves a few years ago. Barry’s been involved with the experiments for many years, and as such was one of three recipients of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2017 for significant contributions to the detection of gravitational waves. Barry was in town to give a public talk, part of the launch of the Gravity Exploration Institute here at Cardiff University. While he was here, I teamed up with one of our PhD students, Jeni Millard, who is a presenter on the Awesome Astronomy podcast, to grab some time with Barry and speak about all things LIGO. We talked to Barry for about an hour - in case you want to skip to a particular section, there's a brief running order at https://wp.me/p4hmOz-UV
