As Bliss and his team dig deeper, they soon realise there are three people now missing—a journalist, a mother, and her young daughter. But as the investigations continue, the team struggle with too many unanswered questions. 

At the two four-kilometre long LIGO observatories in the US, scientists developed incredibly sensitive detectors, capable of spotting a movement 100 times smaller than the nucleus of an atom.

This was the first time black holes had ever been directly detected, and it promises far more for the future of astronomy. Brian Clegg presents a compelling story of human technical endeavour and a powerful new path to understand the workings of the universe.
