This collision of two black holes had been predicted but never observed.

It also proves a prediction made 100 years ago by Einstein that gravitational waves exist.

Space is like a giant sheet of rubber.

Gravitational Waves Detected, Einstein’s 100 Years OLD Theory Proved Correct

Things that have mass cause that rubber sheet to bend like a bowling ball on a trampoline.

The more the mass, the more space gets bent and distorted by gravity.

Up to now humanity has been deaf to the universe.

Suddenly we know how to listen.

The Universe has spoken and we have understood.

Were opening a window on the universe, the window of gravitational wave astronomy.

Its the first time the Universe has spoken to us in gravitational waves.

This was a scientific moonshot and we did it.

The discovery was accepted for publication in the journal Physical Review Letters, reinforcing its credibility.
