The ability to detect gravitational waves shocked the scientific world
Scientists are buzzing with Albert Einstein's theory of gravitational theory that may have been found, leading to one of the greatest discoveries of all time.
According to Phys.org, information about gravitational waves comes from a message on Lawrence Krauss's Twitter social network, cosmologist at Arizona University, USA.
Krauss does not work at the Interfering Laser Observatory Station (LIGO) in Louisiana, USA, which is looking for signs of waves in time and space. But Krauss said he heard the news a few months ago when LIGO scientists wrote reports of the gravitational waves they discovered through the detector.

"The initial information I revealed about LIGO is confirmed by independent sources. Gravitational waves may have been discovered! It is interesting , " Krauss wrote. Krauss's message has more than 1,800 comments.
If gravitational waves are found, scientists can confirm the last missing part in general relativity that physicist Albert Einstein made a century ago.
The discovery will open a new perspective on the universe. If gravitational waves actually exist in places like the edge of the black hole, it will fill people's understanding of the birth of the universe .
Gabriela Gonzalez, LIGO spokesman, said there is no official announcement yet."LIGO's devices are still collecting data, and we need time to analyze, decode and review the results, so we can't share anything yet," The Guardian quoted Gonzalez. , professor of physics and astronomy at University of Louisiana, USA.
"We are looking at the results carefully before announcing it. For important information, we plan to have scholars review it first and then announce it. This process also takes time. " Gonzalez said.
LIGO's team ended its first data collection on January 12."We hope to report on the results collected over the next few months," Gonzalez said.
