At last; it's been a long time since Mr. Einstein made his prediction on these; 100 years.

The difference between theory and practice is smaller in theory than it is in practice.

We talked alot about this discovery in a lecture with a physicist.
Quite interesting that einstein's theories are still being approved today

I think this might be a chance for us to study these waves for the first time. It probably won't lead us to interstellar space travel anytime soon but it's interesting nevertheless

Life is like a good book,

It makes more sense as you get into it ;D

I have seen this today in the morning on the news and economics channel. Been really impressed. Hopefully we can explain a lot more now with this evidence.

 

Now it is time to build gravity generators! 

(Or maybe not ...)

For me it's the possibility that gravity waves bends/alters time space.  You control gravity, you might alter time and space?

But the real deal is Einstein's imagination predicting things that are today are just being approved.
Did he time travel by bending space and time?

:cool:

I am looking forward to every upcoming paper and lecture to know more about the intrincacies on this empyrical observation. The potential of seems to be, for the lack of a better word, huge!

 

An definitely yes, How amazing is to see how one of the many prediction made by Einstein are so current today and alive&kicking

Sidenote: With this evidence, his relativety theory is complete now according to some TV news channel.

Do you have access to journals through an educational institution? I imagine a decent number of papers will come out in Nature for free, but check your PMs

Really cool news, and to think all this "technological breakthrough" boils down to is a really good tape measure.

i thought hubble space telescope proved einstein with its gravitational lensing

This is outstanding news. Even Einstein doubted his theory on it. Nice to be exonerated. Micho Kaku did a nice explantion of it as he always does. Even a video. :)

we just did not have the technology back then to see the gravitational lensing effect our telescopes now have

Bending light and slowing down photons within a B.E.C is relatively old stuff..

 

Gravitational waves open a brand new way to observe our Universe. Definitely as exciting as promising... I foresee new constants in brief
