About 1.3 billion light-years away, two massive black holes had merged, and the resulting shockwave—a gravitational wave—was strong enough for LIGO to detect the moment it washed over Earth. Since ...

Researchers from the University of Glasgow's Institute for Gravitational Research are celebrating the publication of a vast ...
