Zijn familie verliet Berlijn vanwege de politieke onrust en verhuisde eerst naar <a href="/wiki/Praag" title="Praag">Praag</a> in het najaar van 1932, en vervolgens naar de Verenigde Staten in <a href="/wiki/1938" title="1938">1938</a>. Hij bracht zijn jeugd door in <a href="/wiki/New_York_(stad)" title="New York (stad)">New York</a>, waar hij school liep op de Columbia Grammar School. Hij studeerde aan het Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), behaalde zijn bachelorgraad in 1955 en zijn Ph.D. in 1962.

Van het eerste maakte hij baanbrekende metingen van het spectrum en hij was mede-oprichter van de <a href="/wiki/Cosmic_Background_Explorer" title="Cosmic Background Explorer">Cosmic Background Explorer</a>-satelliet. </p><p>Van het ander is hij bekend als uitvinder van de interferometrische gravitatiegolven-detector. Hij kwam op dit idee nadat de natuurkundige <a href="/w/index.php?title=Joseph_Weber&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Joseph Weber (de pagina bestaat niet)">Joseph Weber</a> in 1969 had beweerd dat hij een zwaartekrachtgolf had waargenomen met een xylofoonachtig instrument – de Weber-bar.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Weiss vermoedde dat je zwaartekrachtgolven beter kon waarnemen met een lichtsignaal omdat de tijdsduur door het samendrukken van de ruimtetijd korter wordt. Deze oscillatie in de tijd kan je waarnemen met een klok. Lasers bleken uitermate geschikt te zijn om deze nauwkeurige tijdmetingen te doen. Op basis van dit idee besloot het Amerikaanse <a href="/wiki/National_Science_Foundation" title="National Science Foundation">National Science Foundation</a> in 1979 de ontwikkeling te financieren van wat uiteindelijk het LIGO-project zou worden, waarvan hij mede-oprichter is. In 2007 werd hij samen met <a href="/w/index.php?title=Ronald_Drever&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Ronald Drever (de pagina bestaat niet)">Ronald Drever</a> bekroond met de Einstein Prize voor dit werk. </p><p>In februari 2016 was hij een van de <a href="/wiki/LIGO" title="LIGO">LIGO</a>-wetenschappers die aanwezig waren bij de aankondiging van de eerste rechtstreekse waarneming van een gravitatiegolf in september 2015. Op 3 oktober 2017 ontving hij de <a href="/wiki/Nobelprijs_voor_Natuurkunde" title="Nobelprijs voor Natuurkunde">Nobelprijs voor Natuurkunde</a> voor zijn bijdrage aan dit onderzoek. </p> <div
