History of the Search for Gravitational Waves [sound recording], 2017 January 30.
Audio recording of session U8 of the April 2017 annual meeting of the American Physical Society, held in Washington, DC in January 2017. This session was chaired by Alan Chodos, American Physical Society. Talks (and speakers) include: "Wired by Weber: The Story of the First Searcher and Searches for Gravitational Waves" (Virginia Trimble); "The Path to Gravitational Wave Detection" (Barry Barish); "Enabling the Discovery of Gravitational Radiation" (Richard Isaacson). Topics discussed include gravitational waves, Joe Weber, ham radio, United States Naval Academy, radar, electrical engineering, Keith Laidler, Karl Herzfeld, general relativity, gravitational radiation.
This professional society of educators, industrial and government research workers, and students of physics and related fields, was established in 1899 to promote the advancement and diffusion of the knowledge of physics. It was a founding Member Society of the American Institute of Physics. The American Physical Society (APS) meetings are a forum for scientists to gather and share research results on a wide range of physics and physics-related topics.
