LIGO, which stands for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, is a large-scale physics experiment designed to detect and measure gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime caused by the acceleration of massive objects, such as merging black holes or neutron stars. LIGO consists of two main facilities located in the United States: one in Hanford, Washington, and the other in Livingston, Louisiana.

- youtu.be/dX4vCNi544w?t=1866 this section about numerical simulation is quite interesting. They don't know how to solve the inverse problem, so they just simulated a bunch of different mass combinations
- youtu.be/dX4vCNi544w?t=2290 they use Ubuntu everywhere, default purple desktop. God bless. It's good enough for gravitational wave detection, just not good enough for some shitty enterprise application. Lol.
