The petition contained the requisite allegations of lack of mental capacity, and sought an order of the chancery court appointing a responsible person or agency to give necessary consent for medical treatment, including amputation of the gangrenous feet of the petitioner, as recommended by her attending surgeons.
*947 A guardian ad litem was appointed, and two evidentiary hearings were held in the chancery court. The statement contained inthe United States, whose leaders were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics two weeks ago, and the Virgo detector in Italy. LIGO had previously detected gravitational waves from four black hole mergers, and Virgo one, but such events should be completely dark. This is the first time that light associated with a source of gravitational waves has been detected.

"We have been working for years to predict what the light from a neutron merger would look like," said Daniel Kasen, an associate professor of physics and of astronomy at UC Berkeley and a scientist at Berkeley Lab. "Now that theoretical speculation has suddenly come to life."

The neutron star merger, dubbed GW170817, was detected on August 17 and immediately telegraphed to observers around the world, who turned their small and
