India signs deal for its own LIGO
India today signed an agreement with the National Science Foundation to build its own LIGO gravitational wave detector
This deal, combined with the possibility that TMT might move to India as well, suggests that India is about to move aggressively from the Third World to the First. And the reason, after decades of wallowing in poverty and failure, is that they finally abandoned in the late 1990s the Soviet models of socialism and communism and embraced private enterprise and capitalism, ideas championed by the United States.
If only some modern Americans would do the same.
