      I am working with very smart people who have just completed the release of a new spacecraft called Lisa Pathfinder that should detect even more gravitational waves… it is an amazing time to do this kind of science and the latest discovery certainly made them very happy.
      It goes to show that sometimes you can create wild theories that can only be validated a long time after, like Einstein did for the gravitational waves…
      …space-time is a flexible thing and we just got the proof… amazing!

      How does this change your own view of space?
