On March 1, Brad Moser, Ph.D., assistant lecturer in the Department of Chemistry and Physics, was an invited guest on MPBN’s interactive radio program β€œMaine Calling.” Along with two other guests from the world of physics academia in Maine, Moser discussed the topic of β€œGravitational Waves and News from Out of this World.”

The panel explored the implications of a discovery earlier this month that gravitational waves – predicted by Albert Einstein more than 100 years ago – actually exist. Moser noted that the new-found proof of gravitational waves may impact scientists’ understanding of the beginning of the universe.

β€œAs the human species, we’re very curious. We want to understand these things around us that inspire us,” said Moser. β€œI think that physics at this level – at the grand and the miniscule -- when we look for little particles, and we look for giant pieces of the universe – we’re feeling inspired…. [People] have been doing that for millennia --  looking to the heavens and being inspired, and this is just the physicist’s version of being inspired.”
