of topic question: is it just me or Reiss' finger was bleeding in 35:56?

The best nomination for any scientific category should include Charles Babbage: Father of the Computer. Without Babbage We would not be able to accurately prove gravitational waves etc.

Sadly, Engineering or computer science isn't a category for the Nobel Prize

Can someone explain why gravitational waves can only come from non-spherical sources? See the slide at timestamp 4:50. Maybe it's too early for me to understand.

[@EmmanuelVazquezO]

The best nominee!

Could a subterranean three-dimensional detector utilizing a single laser light source improve signal to noise ratio and reduce false positives for gravitational wave interactions?
