Learn about gravitational waves in this comprehensive lecture that explores their experimental detection and profound implications for physics. Delve into how gravitational waves from merging black holes and neutron stars can probe physics beyond the Standard Model. Examine various sources of gravitational waves including inflation-related tensor perturbations, Primordial Black Holes, cosmological phase transitions, and topological defects. Understand recent developments from NANO-Grav and InPTA collaborations showing first evidence of Stochastic Gravitational Wave Background. Explore how these astronomical phenomena can help investigate high-scale physics that may be unreachable through conventional experiments, while gaining insights into potential modifications to general relativity.
