HUGE NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
experiment gravity magic bees understanding-
From CNN-
Excited scientists announced Wednesday they have detected gravitational waves — distortions in space-time — from the collision of two black holes 1.3 billion years ago.
It's a discovery that was widely predicted but never actually proven, and it confirms many of Albert Einstein's theories about the universe.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have detected gravitational waves," David Reitze, executive director of Caltech's twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) laboratory, said at a news conference in Washington, D.C.
"I am so pleased to be able to tell you that," Reitze said to an unusual standing ovation.
"These gravitational waves were produced by two colliding black holes that merged to form a single black hole 1.3 billion years ago."
Such a collision has never been seen before. Black holes are powerful objects, collapsed stars that pull in vast quantities of matter and concentrate them into a very small area.
