Nobel Laureate Physicist Rainer Weiss Passes Away

Rainer Weiss, a Nobel laureate physicist, played a pivotal role in the detection of gravitational waves through the LIGO observatory, confirming Einstein's century-old prediction and advancing our understanding of the universe. His work involved designing highly sensitive laser interferometers to measure minuscule ripples in space-time caused by cosmic events, marking a major milestone in astrophysics.
