This week AIGO is holding an international conference to launch proposed new facilities at the current site in Gingin. Recognised international scientists, physicists and astrophysicists are here to promote the development of these new facilities which would enable the international network of gravity wave detectors to accurately detect the source of a gravity wave when it is detected. At the official launch on Monday various speakers, including scientists, politicians, sponsors and laymen, all provided input into why a new facility at AIGO is so important on a global level. Additionally, two speakers, Andrew Melatos from The University of Melbourne, and Karsten Danzmann, from the Albert Einstein Institute in Hannover, Germany produced outstanding lectures to school groups and the general public on topics ranging from neutron stars, black holes, supernova explosions and gravitational wave detectors. Both speakers proved extremely inspiring. Scientists believe gravity waves will be detected within the next 10 years.
