A show which brought a unique fusion of science and music to Glasgow's Arlington Baths Club last weekend was a sellout success. https://youtu.be/KZ-L2xEBSQQ All 180 tickets for the Swimming with Gravitational Waves event on Saturday 18th November were sold in advance of the performance, which brought together physicists from the University of Glasgow, musicians and sonic artists. Across three hour long-sessions, visitors to the baths enjoyed an introduction to the science of gravitational waves from a University physicist followed by a 45-minute musical performance from audiovisual artists Leon Trimble and Joel Cahen, aka PlutonOvarian. Dr Andrew Spencer, of the University of Glasgow's Institute for Gravitational Research, helped to organise the event and delivered the introductory lectures alongside colleague Dr Graeme Eddolls. The event was supported by funding from the Institute of Physics Scotland. Dr Spencer and Dr Eddolls are part of the research group at the University which has made key contributions to the development of gravitational wave detectors - highly sophisticated machines capable of sensing the ripples in spacetime caused by massive cosmic events like the collision of black holes.
