DESCRIPTION: 95% of the Universe&#x27\;s current energy density does not i
 nteract with light. Furthermore\, no light signal may arrive to us from th
 e infancy of the Universe\, when it was opaque. The first direct detection
  of gravitational waves in 2015 opened the door to overcome these two limi
 tations. These waves may be produced from any violent-enough source of ene
 rgy and traverse the early Universe almost unimpeded. In this colloquium I
  will describe how gravitational waves of different frequencies bring info
 rmation from the invisible Universe\, from primordial phase transitions to
  mergers of black holes of different sizes. I will emphasize which frequen
 cy bands are poorly covered today and show how quantum technologies in the
  precision frontier and precise astrophysical data may be the key to acces
 s them. This offers a unique opportunity to unveil the mysteries of the da
 rk Universe!
