ALT1: ... that it was Caltech experimental physicist Rana X. Adhikari's idea to build a a gravitational-wave observatory in India? Daniel Case (talk) 03:46, 9 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Case I agree that ALT1 suggestion is an improvement. Original has been striked out on Michael D. Turnbull suggestion. Thank you both. - Quentinhotwater (talk)
