artiteacher Einstein's wild prediction
Spacetime is waving... (oh-oh, waving!) / We caught the ripple of a black hole shaking! (caught the wave!)
Einstein's doubt: Albert Einstein actually tried to retract his paper on gravitational waves in 1936, mistakenly believing they were a mathematical illusion before another physicist corrected his math.
A fluctuation in the curvature of spacetime that propagates as a wave at the speed of light. Albert Einstein mathematically proposed this phenomenon in 1916 through his theory of general relativity.
In what year did Albert Einstein first propose his theory of general relativity?
What is the name of the four-dimensional fabric that combines space and time in Einstein's theory?
Which celestial objects did Hulse and Taylor observe in 1974 to indirectly prove gravitational waves exist?
What Nobel Prize-winning discovery in 1974 provided the first indirect evidence of gravitational waves?
What did Albert Einstein believe about our ability to detect gravitational waves?
