Thousands of people worked on gravitational waves, but somehow only LIGO is the one taking credit. I'd like to know what other physicists think of the LIGO results and methods.
I work in gammay-ray astronomy. We work closely together with LIGO, they alert us in case something interesting happens so we can observe the same position.
This is e.g. what happened with the Neutron star merger.
The community has great respect for the awesome work our colleagues at LIGO do.
Especially since they made data and code public, which sadly is something that just starts gaining track in gammaray astronomy.
