Project Name: Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) Public Outreach Videos
Project Leaders: Spenser Lynn, Andrew Miller, Andrew Boles, Elizabeth Carlisle, Kyle Bowling, James Mallon, & Lacy Medlock.
Chapter Advisors: Timothy Head, PhD; Michael Daugherity, PhD
Project Description: The LIGO collaboration is in need of public outreach projects to better communicate the collaboration’s goals and mission. The ACU-SPS chapter has previously assisted with this need by making a short video that explained special relativity to a general audience. We now seek to expand upon past efforts and create a new video that will explain General Relativity.
