NEW DISCOVERY: 2nd Set Of Gravitational Waves Merging Black Holes Detected

Scientists detected the gravitational waves - ripples through the fabric of the space-time continuum - using the twin LIGO interferometers.
Boston, United States: For the second time, scientists have directly
detected gravitational waves created by the collision of two black holes 1.4 billion light years away, which once again confirms Einstein's theory of general relativity.

The scientists detected the gravitational waves - ripples through the fabric of the space-time continuum - using the twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) interferometers in the US.

On December 26 last year both detectors, situated more than 3,000 kilometres apart, picked up a very faint signal amid the surrounding noise.
