'''Gravitational waves''' are distortions in space travel at the speed of light away from a mass that moves. Predicted by [[Albert Einstein]]'s [[Theory of Relativity]] in 1916, gravitational waves had never been observed until 2015, when the first evidence of their existence was confirmed<ref>http://journals.aps.org/prl/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.061102</ref>.
