More now from the National Competitiveness forum with the focus on Public Private partnerships and manufacturing. This is an hour and a half. Good morning, everyone. Its great to be back with the council again. So i only have half a voice, im afraid. I left the other half in stockholm a couple days ago. I was very privileged to get to attend the nobel prize ceremonies because the National Science association supported the 3 physicists that won the prize for Gravitational Waves for 40 years. I think thats a good place to start. [ applause ] its good for all of us to appreciate just what a high risk high reward investment is all about. So that was a progress of technology and super duper engineering challenges that had to be overcome. A lot of people, as you might guess, came and went. It involved multidisciplinary teams of people who did the numerical relativity using Super Computers so we actually knew when the first gravitational wave was detected, what the source was, that it was two

Its good for all of us to appreciate just what a high risk, high reward investment is all about. So if that was a progress of technology and super duper engineering challenges that had to be overcome, a lot of people as you might guess came and went. And it involved multidisciplinary teams of people who did the numerical relativity for computers so thats new in the first gravitational wave was detected. And what the source was, that was two colliding black holes that were in a postbinary system. The most recent gravitational wave detection to neutron stars emerging. So its, but it was a very long tail. There are many many directors, many and its a Program Officers involved National Science board, they changed over large number of times during that interval and had to improve all the funding and that of Course Congress of course was the ultimate arbiter of appropriations and making the decision to continue an investment but nobody was quite sure what would have a result so how risky is
Encouraging for them and all of us because these practices not only help Climate Change but produce more food and make and they make themselves more resilient against drought so its one of these amazing winwinwin but very few of us really appreciate it. Thats what anna is so good at getting across and we hope that our new book can help too. Thank you for that great question. [ applause ] tonight, our Washington Journal Program focusing on community policing. Well reair yesterday mornings entire program from richmond, virginia with your cools and comments, the Richmond Police chief and head of the Police Training academy and richmond mayor dwight jones. It starts at 9 00 p. M. Eastern on cspan. Former president jimmy carter held a News Conference this morning in atlanta and briefed reporters about treatments for brain and liver cancer. Well show you the event on cspan. Heres some of what president carter had to say. Spots on the liver and the operation and that same afternoon, we had an
Good tuesday morning, welcome to squawk alley, im Carl Quintanilla with Kayla Tausche here at post 9 of the new york stock exchange. John fortts on assignment upstairs and is going to join us in just a moment big hour today on squawk alley, as we said, an exclusive with oracle ceo mark hurd. Well get his take on ge, amazon, and a lot more well talk with House Majority leader Kevin Mccarthy later, that is a first on cnbc interview, and Roger Mcnamee sounding the alarm over facebook and google, calling them a Public Health crisis first up, shares of ge down another 6 today, down more than 42 of the year. John flannery joined us exclusively on squawk on the street this morning and made the case where he can turn things around. If you go back and look, this is very, very similar to what i experienced in health care i walked in, looked, this is fundamentally a very Good Business and theres some basic things around operating rigor, Capital Allocation that make a difference im feeling very mu
