The Story: More than 100 years after Einstein's theory of general relativity that predicted the existence of gravitational waves, a team of scientists were finally able to prove him right by detecting the first wave using LIGO. This short film examines the journey of one of the scientists who contributed to the discovery by debugging the machine in order to find a signal in the noise of the universe. The film explores his life as a scientist but also as a musician, revealing how his character has informed the work that led to a Nobel Prize in 2016 and a dramatic re-envisioning of the universe through the detection of gravitational waves.
