'''Gravity waves''' are predicted by the [[Theory of Relativity]], which claims that distortions in space travel at the speed of light away from a mass that moves.

Gravity waves have never been directly observed, and have even been the subject of a hoax:<ref>http://discovermagazine.com/2014/april/23-20-things-you-didnt-know-about-hoaxes</ref>

{{cquote|In 2010 researchers from the [[LIGO|Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory]] detected the first direct evidence of gravitational waves — crucial proof of relativity. After thousands of hours of verification, they learned that the signal was a “blind injection,” an authorized prank by colleagues to check their work.}}

In 2016, demands immediately rang out for a [[Nobel Prize]] to be awarded for an anomalous "chirp" detected in [[LIGO]].<ref> [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-35524440] Gravitational waves from black holes detected, BBC</ref>
