SC17 Highlights Nobel Prize Winning LIGO Collaboration

In this video from SC17, researchers discuss the role of HPC in the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of gravitational waves, originally theorized 100 years ago by Albert Einstein in his general theory of relativity. "We are only now beginning to hear the vibrations of space-time that are all around us-we just needed a better ear. And when we detect that, we're detecting the vibrations of everything that has ever moved in the universe. This is real. This is really there, and we've never noticed it until now."
