Gravitational Waves Detected 100 Years After Einstein's Prediction - HD
- 8 years ago
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have detected gravitational waves. We did it!"
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.
