I saw that segment last night on 60 minutes. Simply fascinating

Agreed. It made me wonder if they may be able to make some huge discovery that could change the way we think about the universe, matter and ourselves.

What I thought was fascinating is that ALMA doesn't look at light from stars or galaxies etc but rather the dark spaces in between
