As expected, LIGO was recognized by the Nobel Prize in physics this year. The LIGO experiment is an enormous undertaking that combines elegant, simple theoretical ideas; incredible engineering and experimental capabilities; and technically virtuosic numerical theoretical calculations and data analysis techniques. It's truly a triumph.
I did think it was interesting when Natalie Wolchover, one of the top science writers out there today, tweeted: Thrilled they won, thrilled not to spend this morning speed-reading about some bizarre condensed matter phenomenon.
This sentiment was seconded by Peter Woit, who said he thought she spoke for all science journalists.
Friendly kidding aside, I do want to help. Somehow it's viewed as comparatively easy and simple to write about this, or this, or this, but condensed matter is considered "bizarre".
LENR is an uphill climb with its high level of complexity making things worse.
