Abstract
F ew would ever admit it, but some scientists dream of getting a call on an early October morning from a Scandinavian area code. Winning a Nobel Prize is never a guarantee even for highly lauded scientists, but certain huge discoveries beg for recognition. The first detection of gravitational waves in 2015 is a perfect example. The Nobel Committee didn’t wait long to honor this breakthrough with its 2017 prize in physics.
