Humanity's First Gravity Wave

On 14 September, 2015, humanity made its first observation of a gravity wave-- a ripple in spacetime that had travelled billions of years before reaching earth, arriving just as humans gained the ability to detect it. I've commemorated this lucky and epoch making event with a small monument in dyed aluminum.

Theoretical analysis proved that this wave originated in the swirling coalescence of two black holes.

Exhibited at the Capitol Hill Art League in 2019. Aluminum, wall-mounted sculpture, 8" x 8" x 2" d.
