Abstract
- The article features physicist Rainer Weiss who dreamed up a way to detect gravitational waves. Topics covered include the discovery of a pulse of waves via the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), the extraordinary life led by Weiss and his growth in an environment of benign neglect. Also mentioned is his experience in working for Jerrold Zacharias who studied beams of atoms and molecules.
