![]() |
2016 Kavli Prize Laureate Kip Thorne knew the discovery of gravitational waves — ripples in the fabric of spacetime — would revolutionize our understanding of the universe. His work provided the theoretical underpinnings for LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory), the large-scale physics experiment and observatory to detect cosmic gravitational waves.
