Barry Barish shares the Nobel Prize for the accomplishment with Rainer Weiss and Kip Thorne. He also happens to be here at Columbia today and we're catching up on life and LIGO. I sometimes cannot believe my good fortune to know such fascinating, impressive people.

8:00 am on Monday 9/14/15, the wave already billions of km's past the Earth, Rai checks the logs as he always does. There he sees entries in red and begins to wonder, along with the rest of the team, “What the hell is going on?”

Rai Weiss said of the experiment 50 years in the making, "If we don't detect black holes, this thing is a failure." His candor inspired the title, Black Hole Blues. A month later, @LIGO recorded the most powerful event since the big bang, the merger of two black holes.

I've been looking around for a copy of #BlackHoleBlues and found only a box of foreign language editions. Then I remembered that I wrote it so I have the original manuscript on my computer. Let's see what's in here... pic.twitter.com/tDP4…

3 years ago today, @LIGO announced the definitive recording of the collision of two black holes 1.3 billion year ago. The sound of spacetime ringing coursed over the earth in microseconds. In honor of that discovery, I'll dig into #BlackHoleBlues for some passages over the day.

In a sense, scientists have been guided by the principle that a paradox cannot exist with out a mind to recognize it. In other words, they cannot exist in physical reality and they cannot exist in mathematics. Most paradoxes are probably resolvable with more meticulous language. twitter.com/Stewart9…
