  1. 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 ...

    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 ...

    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. 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 ...

    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.
  6. 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 ...
