Fascinating tale.  We seem to be in a similar class for dipping into a
mess of fields.

I have a minor connection to sleep research, designed the analog front
end of a sleep monitor.

I wonder if that cryogenic bar gravity wave detector was the one
Robert Forward worked on when he was a grad student?  There can't be
very many of them.

Something else sleep related.  I found in my early 20s that Vic C cut
several hours off my sleep requirement.  A little calcium reversed the
effect.  I don't know how much that affected my life trajectory, but
for many years I had perhaps 20% more waking hours than the people
around me.
