And about 25 years ago, a particularly audacious set of people -- Rai Weiss at MIT, Kip Thorne and Ronald Drever at Caltech -- decided that it would be really neat to build a giant laser detector with which to search for the gravitational waves from things like colliding black holes.
I prije otprilike 25 godina, vrlo pametna grupa ljudi -- Rai Weiss s MIT-a, Kip Thorne i  Ronald Drever sa Caltecha -- odlučili su da bi baš bilo dobro sagraditi divovski laserski detektor s kojim bi mogli tražiti  gravitacijske valove iz stvari poput  sudarajućih crnih rupa.
