Gravitational wave discovery work won the 2017 Nobel Prize in Physics

The 2017 Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded to three scientists Rainer Weiss, Barry C. Barish and Kip S. Thorne with the discovery of gravitational waves.

On October 3, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the 2017 Nobel Prize for Physics.

Rainer Weiss is a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology while Kip Thorne and Barry Barish are from the California Institute of Technology. The Nobel Prize was given to scientists because of the discovery and direct observation of gravitational waves , the ripples in the temporal structure - Albert Einstein made the hypothesis of existence but never was. observe.

From 1901 to 2016, the Nobel Prize for Physics was awarded 110 times to 203 individuals. The youngest winner was Lawrence Bragg, 25, in 1915, while the oldest was named Raymond Davis Jr., 88, in 2002.

John Bardeen was the only scientist twice to receive the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on semiconductor and superconductivity.

In 2017, the Nobel Prize for Physics belonged to three British scientists working in the US, David Thouless of Washington University in Seattle, Duncan Haldane of Princeton University in New Jersey and Michael Kosterlitz of Brown University in Providence.

They honored the discovery of the theory of topological transformation and topological phases of matter.
