XXXI: Encore LIGO

October 16, 2017

This past week, the winners of the 2017 Nobel Prize were announced.  The Physics Prize this year will go to three individuals, Rainer Weiss, Barry Barish, and Kip Thorne for their work on LIGO, the laser interferometer for gravitational waves observatory.  Last year, Chris and Mike discussed this experiment and the science behind it.  Thus, here is an encore of that episode.  Enjoy.
