Gravitational Waves Detected, Confirming Einstein’s Theory

2/13/2016

This article discusses the scientific breakthrough of detecting gravitational waves, confirming a major prediction of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) was responsible for this groundbreaking discovery. By detecting gravitational waves, LIGO was able to observe the collision of two black holes, resulting in the release of a large amount of energy in the form of gravitational waves. This discovery opens up new avenues for studying the universe and deepening our understanding of gravity and the nature of black holes.
