    "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 ...

    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 ...
  4. That crash sent ripples, called gravitational waves, through space-time that were detected directly for the first time last September and publicly announced last week. It was September 14, 2015, at 5:51 a.m., to be exact, a date worth remembering given this monumental find, which confirmed yet another part of Albert Einstein's theory of ...

    For the first time, scientists have observed ripples in the fabric of spacetime called gravitational waves, arriving at the earth from a cataclysmic event in the distant universe. This confirms a major prediction of Albert Einstein's 1915 general theory of relativity and opens an unprecedented new window onto the cosmos.
