This course explores the possibility of black holes being the dark matter in galaxies, based on the discovery of gravitational waves from the merger of two black holes. The teaching method involves a discussion by Dr. Marc Kamionkowski, with additional insights from Dr. Frank Summers. The course covers topics such as Laser Interferometry, collaborations like LIGO, and the origins of binary black holes. This course is intended for individuals interested in astrophysics, gravitational waves, and dark matter.
