Title:
Gravitational waves as predicted by Einstein: signals from black holes 
collisions in the distant universe

Abstract:
Einstein predicted that gravitational waves exist when he discovered the 
theory of general relativity more than a century ago. Einstein, however, 
never believed that it would be possible to detect such waves and he did 
not believe that black holes exist.  Yet, the last Nobel Prize in 
physics was awarded for the detection of gravitational waves from 
colliding black holes.  I will explain how such waves are generated in 
black hole mergers, how they were detected against all odds by using 
laser interference technology and what they could teach us about 
gravity, black holes and the universe.
