Searching for Gravity Waves: The Biggest Physics Experiment Ever

The video discusses the detection of gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute are working on an experiment involving satellites to detect these waves. The video also covers the challenges faced in detecting gravitational waves, the ESA's Lisa Pathfinder mission, and how gravity affects the space-time continuum. It concludes with a look at Einstein's significant contributions to science during his 'miraculous year.'
