Gravitational_Waves__Ripples_In_Space-Time

Gravitational waves are ripples in spacetime itself, caused by the acceleration of massive objects, such as merging black holes or neutron stars. These waves propagate outward, carrying energy away from their source. They were first predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity in 1915 and were directly detected for the first time in 2015. This discovery opened up a new way to study the universe and provides valuable insights into the behavior of extremely massive and energetic events in space.
