Einstein Was Right Again: Ripples in Space-Time Confirm Century-Old Theory

New observations of two black holes merging have confirmed predictions made decades ago by Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and Roy Kerr. A decade ago, scientists first picked up ripples in the fabric of space-time, known as gravitational waves, produced by the collision of two black holes. Now, aided by improved instrumentation and a stroke of [...]

Black Hole Collision Confirms Predictions by Einstein and Hawking - USA Herald

A newly observed black hole collision has provided scientists with the clearest view yet of one of the universe’s most powerful events, confirming predictions made decades ago by Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.  The event, dubbed GW250114, was detected in January by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), located in Louisiana and Washington state. Gravitational waves — ripples in the fabric of space-time — were first…
