Opening lecture for the sixth “November der Wissenschaft” in Hannover.
For thousands of years we have been looking at the Universe with our
eyes. But more than 99% of the Universe are dark and will never be
observed with electromagnetic waves. Since the 14th of September 2015
everything has changed: gravitational waves were discovered! We now have
a new sense for the Universe and can finally hear its dark side. Since
then we have listened to several mergers of binary black holes and that
of a double neutron star. And nobody knows which other dark secrets wait
for us out there.
