RE: Physics Nobel Prize 2017 - A short introduction to Gravitational Waves
Isn't it interesting that an interferometer like what was developed by Michelson-Morley (1887) to prove/disprove ether was made incredibly larger and used to prove the existence of gravitational waves in 2016 from a theory proposed by Einstein in 1915?
You have a point, that is some serious historic irony ^^
I think it also shows the timescale that scientific advancement takes. It also shows that research and experiments can lead to further discoveries over time with improved technology. I cannot even imagine what the world could be like in another 100 years, but I wonder what experiments are taking place today that will be in the history books of the future
