"Wonder of the heavens has been an innate human trait predating even civilization. It has inspired the most profound advances of our culture and scientific understanding. One pinnacle of this tradition has been the conception of Gravitation by Newton and then its adaptation by Einstein in his 'General Relativity' of the Cosmos. I will describe the UGO project, whose dramatic discoveries of gravitational wave 11signals11 from actual Black Holes (both predicted by general relativity) inspires a new vista of heavenly wonderment. Emphasizing this context, I hope to show UGO meriting the same justification as more easily appreciable BIG SCIENCE (thus expensive) projects: planetary exploration; decoding the human genome; broad band internet. To be sure, the technical marvels of the UGO facilities will be featured! As was the sense for our moon shots, the fact that we can inspire talent and marshal resources to make such dreams happen has a justification in communal pride."
Dr. Kells received his B.S. and Ph.D. in Physics from Caltech and the University of Chicago, respectively. Following his matriculation, he went to work developing technologies for particle colliders at Fermilab outside Chicago, and later, deep-field cameras for the iconic 200" telescope atop California1s Palomar Mountain. The capstone of his career came as a member of the Nobel Prize-winning Caltech team that achieved the first direct detection of the exquisitely small spacetime vibrations of gravitational waves in 2015. He retired to Twin Falls in 2017, where he continues to pursue his research interests.
