'''Gravitational waves''' are distortions in space that travel at the [[speed of light]] away from a mass that accelerates.  Predicted by [[Albert Einstein]]'s [[Theory of Relativity]] in 1916. Gravitational waves were first observed and their existence confirmed in early 2016.<ref>http://journals.aps.org/prl/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.061102</ref>
