THE FARAWAY, NEARBY
Feature / Paula Froehle, dir. / Hussain Currimbhoy, producer / USA / in production
Ground breaking science and art intersect to tell the story of Joe Weber - the first scientist to explore the detection of gravitational waves. Derided by the science community, Weber worked nearly alone to answer one of the great questions of science: could we “hear” the universe through gravitational waves, much like we “see” the universe through electromagnetic waves? Could the same passion to explore the unknown become his undoing? This was a quest that consumed him up to his death.
