I took a class called Spacetime and Black Holes during the fall quarter of my third year and the professor for that class was
Prof. Daniel Holz. Some of his work also relates to gravitational wave and general relativity. After the announcement of the discovery, he gave us a comment about this latest and most excited finding so far this year about the first direct detection of gravitational waves and how it becomes an evidence for the inflation theory of the early universe. I thought I would like to share this here since we are all in a moment of history where most physics might start to change from this point on.
