When two massive objects – like black holes or neutron stars – merge, they warp space and time. Mark Garlick/Science Photo Library Scientists first detected ripples in space known as gravitational ...

Compared to the chaos of Earth, outer space can seem serene. But, thanks to a recent discovery, we now know that the very fabric of the cosmos is being pushed and pulled by gravitational waves — waves ...

The fabric of the universe is constantly rippling, according to astronomers who have discovered a background buzz of gravitational waves. These waves may be produced by supermassive black holes ...
