Einstein Was Right: Scientists Just Showed Gravitational Waves Exist

Scientists announced that they have detected gravitational waves in space, with Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) officials making the announcement at a press conference in Washington D.C., Thursday. The breakthrough discovery not only confirms Albert Einstein’s century-old theory of relativity was correct, but it could lead to a more thorough understanding of the Big Bang theory, potentially revolutionising the study of astronomy.
