Title: Breaking Through to the Other Side of Gravitational Wave.
Abstract: Over 30 black hole mergers have been found by gravitational wave detectors in recent years, begging the questions, "So What?" and "Is that all??". In this talk I will outline a few, low-hanging, astrophysical/cosmological fruit, as well as 3 precision measurement puzzle pieces which will soon enable a dramatic expansion of the gravitationally observable universe.
