Emitted in a
distant galaxy when multicellular life was just beginning to
populate Earth, the waves traveled at the speed of light for more than a billion years to at last wash over our
planet last September, taking just seven milliseconds to traverse the distance between LIGO's twin listening stations in Louisiana and Washington State.
The premise of this traveling exhibition is an apocalyptic vision of a not - so -
distant «post human» future when the
planet will be
populated by artificially perfected beings, genetically altered and surgically reconstructed.
