Einstein was right about gravitational waves, we now have measurements to prove it

Firstpost  

The waves change the particles they encounter on their path & scientists have figured out in what ways. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory is the largest physics experiment and observatory detecting gravitational waves. This persistent gravitational wave, called gravitational wave memory effect, can be measured by scientists to understand, measure and predict where these waves are in space and how they work. Éanna Flanagan of Cornell University, New York, and her colleagues have not just confirmed the theory, but also given a mathematical framework to study how gravitational waves affects matter. The study’s findings were recently published in Physical Review D. The increased sensitivity of the LIGO arms can help detect these gravitational waves better and faster in the future.
