Congrats to three truly brilliant scientists. This is how Hard Sci/Tech is done. Decades long commitments even when everyone around you thinks it impossible! For a gripping day by day account of advanced LIGO's first candidate detection event and ensuing aftermath. From the very first email with subject line: "Very interesting event on ER8". To publishing the breakout paper “Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger”. Read Harry Collins' Gravity's Kiss: The Detection of Gravitational Waves https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/gravitys-kiss https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/gravitys-kiss
