The Discovery of Gravitational Waves and Its Implications
The Groundbreaking Discovery of Gravitational Waves In 2015, scientists made a monumental breakthrough in astrophysics by detecting gravitational waves for the first time. These ripples in spacetime were a direct result of two black holes colliding, confirming theories proposed by some of the greatest minds in physics, including Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking. This discovery…

Gravitational Wave Breakthrough: Insights on Black Holes
Introduction to Gravitational Waves Gravitational waves, ripples in the fabric of spacetime, were first predicted by Albert Einstein over a century ago in his General Theory of Relativity. These elusive phenomena are produced by some of the universe’s most violent events, such as merging black holes or neutron stars. Recently, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory…
