Gravitational wave discovery leads to greater understanding of the fabric of our universe

Gravitational Waves Discovered Through Research on Pulsars

• Scientists have found evidence of gravitational waves, ripples in the fabric of time
• Researchers used pulsars, which are dead stars, to detect subtle changes in order to identify the waves
• It is hypothesized that massive black hole binaries cause the waves
• Scientists hope that further research will lead to a better understanding of how the universe formed and where it is going.
