"Ripples from a Maelstrom"
General relativity predicts that black holes are some of the simplest objects in the universe, while their cousins, neutron stars, are some of the most complex. However, telling them apart from here on Earth requires understanding the subtly different way they produce gravitational waves. Measuring these waves requires the most precise rulers ever built.
