Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is a large-scale physics experiment to detect gravitational waves. LIGO is a joint project between scientists at MIT, Caltech, and many other colleges and universities. Scientists involved in the project and the analysis of the data for gravitational-wave astronomy are organised by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration which includes more than 900 scientists worldwide. And it seems the Scientists are using Linux(Ubuntu) for their experiments.

激光干涉仪引力波天文台（LIGO）是检测引力波的大型物理实验。 LIGO是麻省理工学院，加州理工学院和许多其他学院和大学的科学家之间的联合项目。 LIGO科学合作组织组织了参与该项目以及对引力波天文学数据进行分析的科学家，其中包括全球900多名科学家。 看起来科学家们正在使用Linux（Ubuntu）进行实验。

The gravitational wave signal was detected by physicists at LIGO on September 14 last year, and the historic announcement was made at a press conference this morning. Experts are already saying the discovery is a shoo-in for a Nobel Prize

去年9月14日，LIGO的物理学家检测到了重力波信号，并在今天上午的新闻发布会上宣布了这一历史性宣布。 专家已经在说这项发现是获得诺贝尔奖的诱因

Gravitational waves are so exciting because they were the last major prediction of Einstein’s general theory of relativity that had to be confirmed, and discovering them will help us understand how the Universe is shaped by mass.

引力波之所以令人兴奋，是因为它们是爱因斯坦广义相对论的最后一个主要预测，必须加以证实，而发现它们将有助于我们理解宇宙是如何被质量塑造的。

It’s not really admiring that Linux is being used to experiment Gravitational waves at LIGO. Just a couple of weeks ago we saw that Ubuntu was being used to interpret the data from the Hubble Space Telescope. But the fact that scientists choose Linux systems for their work has to do with the fact that it’s a stable, secure, and reliable operating system, no matter the distro.

真的不是很欣赏Linux用于LIGO的引力波实验。 就在几周前，我们看到Ubuntu被用来解释哈勃太空望远镜的数据。 但是，科学家选择Linux 系统进行工作的事实与以下事实有关：无论发行版是什么，它都是稳定，安全和可靠的操作系统。
