Cosmic Coda: A Journey Through Space, Time and Discovery

Join the MIT Museum for an evening of film and conversation featuring “Cosmic Coda,” a documentary by MJ Doherty. Beginning with a panel discussion with physicists Lisa Barsotti, David Kaiser and Lyman Page, followed by a special screening of the full documentary “Cosmic Coda,” this program traces the story of LIGO and the landmark detection of gravitational waves. Together, participants will be able to explore how their understanding of the universe—and the very nature of scientific discovery—has evolved across generations. This screening of “Cosmic Coda” is presented to honor the life of MIT physicist Rai Weiss.
