Notes

1. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03fm6b8. Thanks to Graham Woan for pointing this out to me.

2. Davide Castelvecchi, “Gravitational-wave Rumours in Overdrive,” Nature, January 12, 2016.

3. Quoted in Shannon Hall, “About the LIGO Gravitational-Wave Rumor …,” Sky and Telescope, January 13, 2016.

4. The New York Times reported: “Robert Garisto, the editor of Physical Review Letters, said he had gotten goose bumps while reading the LIGO paper” (Dennis Overbye, “Gravitational Waves Detected, Confirming Einstein’s Theory,” Feb. 11, 2016). I think to know if one understands the emotional significance of scientific discovery, one must ask if reading a scientific paper can induce this kind of reaction.

5. In Gravity’s Shadow I say 100,000th of a drop, but this is a mistake.
