The Director of the Institute for Gravitational Physics at the University of Hannover led the German-British GEO600 Gravitational Wave Detector Project and is considered to be the spiritual father of the LISA satellite mission whose objective is to detect gravitational waves in space. He explains what gravitational wave astronomy is all about, what the discovery of the first wave means for the world and what the LISA mission could change.
