DESCRIPTION:Join us for an evening of film and conversation featuring Cosmi
 c Coda\, a documentary by MJ Doherty.\n\nHow do you build a machine to tes
 t an idea—Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity—that’s beyond mo
 st people’s comprehension? And what does an astrophysicist actually do o
 n a regular Tuesday while probing the depths of space?\n\nIn Cosmic Coda\,
  a naive grad student filmmaker asks these questions in 1985—then return
 s nearly 40 years later to continue the journey\, capturing one of the mos
 t profound scientific discoveries of our time as it happens.\n\nThrough se
 lected clips from the film and a live discussion with physicists Lisa Bars
 otti\, David Kaiser\, and Lyman Page\, this special program traces the sto
 ry of LIGO and the landmark detection of gravitational waves. Together\, w
 e’ll explore how our understanding of the universe—and the very nature
  of scientific discovery—has evolved across generations.\n\nSeptember 30
