The Nobel prize become the researchers of gravitational waves
This year the Nobel prize in physics became a mit Professor Rainer Weiss and Professor at the California Institute of technology Kip Thorne and Barry Barish.
The award was presented “for decisive contribution to the LIGO detector and for the observation of gravitational waves”. Half of the award will receive Rainer Weiss, and the second will be divided equally Barry Barish and Kip Thorne, who gained fame thanks to the film “interstellar” and the book “interstellar. The science behind the scenes,” whose author he is.
Physicists have detected gravitational waves with the LIGO detector (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) in February 2016. It should be noted that the LIGO project was proposed by Weiss, Thorne and Ronald Drever of MIT back in 1992. The media then expressed confidence that this discovery will surely be awarded a Nobel prize.
Recall that in 2016 Nobel laureates in physics have become David Taules, Duncan, Haldane and John Kosterlitz. The prize was awarded for the discovery of “strange” States of matter.
The Nobel prize in 2017 rose billion SEK and amounted to 9 million kroons ($1.1 million). This year the award was presented at the 109th time.
Recall, we recently told you that Apple has made operating systems iOS and macOS open.
