These “ signatures ” are of great relevance to LIGO ( Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory ), a multi-institution gravity-wave experiment for which Thorne has been a leading proponent — in 1984, he cofounded the LIGO Project ( the largest project ever funded by the NSF ) to discern and measure any fluctuations between two or more ' static ' points ; such fluctuations would be evidence of gravitational waves, as calculations describe.
