news earlier February 2016

I love that picture. If you make it big you can see that's a balloon with light in it casting the image on its surface.

Dramatic news today as scientists document final proof of Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Simply, they detected the effect that two black holes colliding 1.3 billion light years away had on gravitational waves. This massive occurrence seemed to bend or stretch the space-time continuum creating a 'ripple' effect that we just detected. Again, scientists just documented it happening today, but it actually occurred 1.3 billion years ago. This opens a window shut until now looking out into the farther reaches of space and time and gets at its basic building blocks. Very exciting.
