Scientists are claiming a stunning discovery in their quest to fully understand gravity.
They
have observed the warping of space-time generated by the collision of
two black holes more than a billion light-years from Earth.The international team says the first detection of these gravitational waves will usher in a new era for astronomy.
It is the culmination of decades of searching and could ultimately offer a window on the Big Bang.
The research, by the LIGO Collaboration, has been published today in the journal Physical Review Letters.
Read about it at the BBC and Astronomy Magazine.
