‘Ladies and gentlemen, we have detect­
ed gravitational w aves’. An American 
cosmologist, or scientist who studies 
the Universe, made this announcement 
on 11th February. He was speaking at 
a news conference in Washington DC, 
the USA’s capital city. The scientist 
explained that there was now a new 
window through which the cosmos
or Universe, could be studied. Some 
space researchers described the an­
nouncement as the 21st century’s most 
important discovery.
Amazingly, Albert Einstein (1879 -
1955) predicted gravitational waves 101 
years ago. He was a German-born physi­
cist. Einstein moved to the USA in 1933. 
He produced several famous theories. 
They said that the mass o f a space object 
can warp, or bend, both space and time 
(or space-time). Einstein’s theories also 
suggest that time passes more slowly
when gravity is very strong and that rays 
o f light can bend.
Many o f Einstein’s theories are now 
believed to be correct. One predicted that 
large space objects, such as big mov­
ing planets, create gravitational waves. 
These waves would be weak. However, 
huge explosions in space would generate 
much stronger gravitational waves. Some 
examples are supernovae, or exploding 
stars, and black holes crashing into each 
other. Black holes are space objects with 
very powerful gravitational fields. Noth­
ing can get away from them. All material 
is sucked in and trapped. Even light and 
other types o f radiation are unable to es­
cape. As they emit no light, black holes 
cannot be seen. Recording stars circling 
around these space objects is the best 
way to find them.
N o one knew if gravitational waves 
really existed. They are often described
