Rai Weiss, Kip Thorne, Walter Isaacson and LIGO |
Rai Weiss, Ms. Zap, Kip Thorne |
Yesterday I attended a talk given by the physicists who designed and led LIGO, the celebrated gravitational wave observatory.
A few things I learned:
- Another observatory in Italy will be working by September. This will help scientists be able to pinpoint where in space future events are happening.
- These distinguished physicists spoke movingly about the necessity and power of working as a team. Dr. Thorne described the enormous collaboration required as "beautiful to behold."
- Dr. Thorne believes our descendants will one day say the gift our age gave to humankind was an understanding of the universe. That gift comes from SCIENCE.
Thats amazing!!!
