About the talk: Where Do Black Holes Collide? A Violent Game of Cosmic Hide-and-Seek We can hear two black holes violently colliding through ripples in spacetime called gravitational waves. But there’s a catch: we usually can’t see these events with telescopes, making it difficult to know where in the universe they happened. In this talk, I’ll explain how astronomers detect these invisible collisions and why locating them is such an imp

ortant cosmic challenge.
