Laser interferometry has revolutionized astronomy by introducing a new sense in the observation of the cosmos. We can now hear the ripples of space-time: gravitational waves.I will briefly present key technologies behind these feats, among them ultra-precise lasers and squeezed light. I will then give a taste of how all these marvellous tools can be used to shed light on other mysteries of the universe: dark matter and the question of whether space-time is quantized at the smallest level.
