"It's not about winning", they said

"Scientists believe this will now give them the sensitivity needed to pick up what should be a very subtle signal. The theoretical physicist Kip Thorne, one of the pioneers behind the experiment, went so far as to say that it would be "quite surprising" if the labs made no detection."

""Recording a gravitational wave for the first time has never been a big motivation for Ligo," said Kip Thorne."

HAH HAH AHHAH HAHH ! Good one, Kip.
