Scientist who helped prove Einstein theory opens doors to black holes for students with diverse majors
Engineering major Adam Fortner has spent many nights camping outside his Kentucky home, staring up at the stars and dreaming about space. Law, history and society major Ethan Thorpe had similar notions throughout his childhood, scouring astronomy websites and imagining life as an astrophysicist. These students and others with diverse majors may not become astronauts or astronomers, but they were given an opportunity to join a special class led by Vanderbilt astrophysicist Karan Jani, one of the scientists who discovered gravitational waves.
