    On 11 February, researchers in the US announced the first direct detection of gravitational waves - ripples in space-time that are the final unconfirmed prediction of Albert Einstein's theory ...
  2. The detection of gravitational waves marks the culmination of a decades-long quest that began in 1972, when Weiss wrote a paper outlining the basic design of LIGO. In 1979, the National Science Foundation funded research and development work at both MIT and Caltech, and LIGO construction began in 1994.

    "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 ...
  4. For the first time, scientists have observed ripples in the fabric of spacetime, called gravitational waves, arriving at Earth from a cataclysmic event in the distant universe. This observation confirms a major prediction of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity, published in 1916, and opens an unprecedented new window onto the cosmos.
  5. Feb 11, 2016A team of scientists announced on Thursday that they had heard and recorded the sound of two black holes colliding a billion light-years away, a fleeting chirp that fulfilled the last prediction ...

    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 ...
  7. The tweet that sparked speculation Einstein's gravitational waves had been found. Finding them, however, would be comprehensive proof that Einstein's famous theory of General Relativity is ...
