Lengthy non-scientific video covering the detection of colliding black holes in 2016. Also, buy their merch.

It had a pretty detailed description of the machines they built to detect the waves. I found the precision of the equipment to be the most fascinating part of the video and the engineering that went into making it. The gravity wave detector was more what I found interesting and why I shared it here

Not sure what’s wrong with a channel asking people to support it. That’s pretty common on YouTube.
