Einstein's gravitational waves detected in scientific
milestone:


"Scientists have for the first time detected gravitational waves, ripples
in space and time hypothesized by Albert Einstein a century ago, in a
landmark discovery announced on Thursday that opens a new window
for studying the cosmos.

The researchers said they detected gravitational waves coming from
two distant black holes - extraordinarily dense objects whose existence
also was foreseen by Einstein - that orbited one another, spiraled
inward and smashed together. They said the waves were the product
of a collision between two black holes roughly 30 times the mass of
the Sun, located 1.3 billion light years from Earth."
