Included in the bizarre picture that the famed physicist painted of the universe were the notions that energy and mass were equivalent, and that gravity was simply a warp in the “fabric” of space-time. Since then, there have been many successful experiments carried out to prove Einstein’s theory. For nearly a century however, scientists were unable to confirm General Relativity’s most elusive prediction: gravity waves. Until now…… RSVP REQUIRED
