Abstract
Just seven years after their first detection, gravitational waves (GWs) have revealed the first glimpses of a previously hidden dark Universe. Using the GW signature of distant compact-object collisions, we have discovered a new population of stellar remnants and unlocked new tests of general relativity, cosmology, and ultra-dense matter. How do we go further, and what might we learn when we do? I’ll discuss planned designs for future ground-based and space-based gravitational wave detectors, and the new science we will gain from detectors that can sense black hole collisions throughout cosmic time.
