And when we hear the universe, we will learn about the secret life of black holes -- their birth, their death, their marriage, their feeding. We will hear when a black hole eats a neutron star, nobody has 'seen' that before. We will not only understand it, we will 'see' it. It's the most fascinating thing I can imagine.

Gravitational waves, when we discover them, will open a new window on the universe, we will be able to study not just Einstein's general relativity -- we'll be able to find objects we only imagined would exist. We should see a universe that has never been observed before.

A physicist is always looking for a flaw in a theory. And the only way to find a flaw is to test it, einstein's theory did not present any flaws to us yet, and that is really scary. Physicists are very (skeptical) of flawless theories because then we have nothing to do.

The discovery of gravitational waves is, I think, the most important breakthrough in modern science.

He thought gravitational waves are a beautiful construct, but they are so small nobody would ever be able to actually measure it.
