The first generation of LIGO detected nothing, but the team persevered, demonstrating remarkable resilience and determination in the face of challenges.

LIGO is like a gigantic musical instrument designed to record the shape of the ringing drum of spacetime, allowing scientists to listen to gravitational waves rather than just taking snapshots of them.

On September 14, 2015, after years of work, LIGO detected its first gravitational wave, a signal from a collision of black holes that occurred over a billion years ago.

One of the most incredible things humans have accomplished is detecting gravitational waves through LIGO, which allows us to observe events from the early universe.

In science, significant discoveries often arise from chance or hard work, emphasizing the importance of time spent in the lab.

In just a few years, our small team was able to determine the structures of 200 million proteins, compared to the 150,000 structures revealed by tens of thousands of scientists over 50 years.

Seeing the construction of the Stargate site highlighted the complexity and scale of the infrastructure needed for AI, which involves thousands of workers and intricate systems.

Starting a startup is a long-term commitment, often requiring five to ten years of dedication to the mission.

Even in old age, scientists remember the excitement of their first encounters with the universe, which continues to inspire them throughout their lives.
