Gravity Waves

Gravitational waves are distortions fabric of space-time predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. The wave propagates in the speed of light, but weak enough so that scientists hope to detect it only by the colossal cosmic events, such as the merging of two black holes as shown above. LIGO and LISA are two detectors designed to observe these elusive waves.
