Skoning2.18.16Astronomers and physicists are over the moon with excitement over what is being hailed as one of the biggest eureka moments in the history of science.An all-star team of astrophysicists announced last week that they have finally detected gravitational waves, the ripples in the fabric of space and time that Einstein predicted a century ago. It was heralded as a hallelujah discovery. At last there is physical proof of Einstein’s theoretical prediction.All the excitement and media frenzy about the scientific breakthrough glossed over the source of the gravitational waves, the cataclysmic collision of two massive black holes in deep outer space. To a layman, that seems to be really serious stuff. Donald Trump might have said it was a YUGE cosmic event that sent gravitational shockwaves ripping out through the universe.In a part of space that’s nowhere near our Earth, two giant black holes collided with one another. The scale of the collision is pretty hard to imagine. One of the black holes was around 29 times the mass of our sun, the other 36 times. Those colliding black holes released the same amount of energy as would 8.5 billion trillion trillion Hiroshima nuclear bombs‼ Now, that was a really, really big bang!
