{wiki=Ronald_Drever}
Ronald Drever was a Scottish physicist known for his significant contributions to the field of gravitational physics, particularly in the development of laser interferometry techniques used in gravitational wave detection. He was one of the founding members of the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) project, which made headlines in 2015 when it first directly detected gravitational waves, confirming a key prediction of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
