Gravitational Waves

I found this really cool article about scientists detecting gravitational waves. It is aparently a really big deal and will possibly let us see back in space time even back to when the earth was created. They detected the waves because of two black holes that joined together and caused a big enough gravitational wave that we were able to detect it.  "The fact that we are sitting here on Earth feeling the actual fabric of the Universe stretch and compress slightly due to the merger of black holes that occurred over a billion years ago - I think that's phenomenal. It's amazing that when we first turned on our detectors , the Universe was ready and waiting to say 'hello ',"
