大象传媒

Poet Daljit Nagra revisits the 大象传媒's poetry archive and chooses Between the Ears - Drever, Ligo - Robert Crawford's poetic meditation on the Scottish physicist Ronald Drever, and his role in the search for Gravitational Waves.

The detection of Gravitational Waves in 2015 was hailed as an astounding breakthrough in the world of physics and a triumph for the LIGO project, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. But the discovery was also a triumph for the men and women who had worked at LIGO during tumultuous times.

Music by Jeremy Thurlow.

Producer: David Stenhouse.

First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in 2018.
