LeonMichaels Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 With great fanfare and a drum-roll it was announced today that, for the very first time, a gravitational wave has been detected! The gravitational wave, which is a ripple in space and time, was caused by the violent collision and merger of two black holes. This discovery is really a monumental achievement, which will surely be awarded a nobel prize in the near future. See here for a very nice discussion on why this is so amazingly awesome. 5 Link to comment
