    "We have detected gravitational waves. We did it!" announced David Reitze, executive director of the 1,000-member team, at a National Science Foundation press conference today in Washington, D.C. Gravitational waves are perhaps the most elusive prediction of Einstein's theory, one that he and his contemporaries debated for decades ...
  2. Only a black hole—which is made of pure gravitational energy and gets its mass through Einstein's famous equation E=mc 2 —can pack so much mass into so little space, says Bruce Allen, a LIGO member at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Hanover, Germany. The observation provides the first evidence for black holes that ...

    Taylor and Joel M. Weisberg in 1982 found that the orbit of the pulsar was slowly shrinking over time because of the release of energy in the form of gravitational waves. For discovering the pulsar and showing that it would make possible this particular gravitational wave measurement, Hulse and Taylor were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in ...
