Waves of the Future
One of the most important new areas of investigation in astronomy is a phenomenon known as gravity waves, ripples in the fabric of time and space. This focuses on two friends and fellow scientists and their ongoing efforts to determine the "signature" of various types of gravity waves. Leonid Grishchuk, a leading gravity wave theorist from Moscow's Sternberg Astronomical Institute, and Caltech's Kip Thorne combine their efforts and ability to see with "telescopes of the mind", as Caltech builds a prototype laser "interferometer" to detect gravity waves. Also featured is the famous Cambridge theorist, Stephen Hawking.
