Celebrating Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity: LIGO Has Detected Gravitational Wave Predicted by Einstein 100 Years Ago

Abstract

On February 11, 2016, Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) announced the detection of gravitational waves from two merging black holes. We at Prespacetime Journal celebrate Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity and congratulate LIGO and all the people and agencies involved for this landmark discovery predicted by Einstein 100 years ago. There is no doubt that this discovery marks the beginning of a new era in astronomy, cosmology and even quantum gravity.
