Pattern of gravitational waves may reveal string theory's remnant strings.
Universe expanding faster than expected
Astronomers have obtained the most precise measurement yet of how fast the universe is expanding, and it doesn’t agree with predictions based on other data and our current understanding of the physics of the cosmos.
And finally, the age of gravitational astronomy has begun...
Simulations Foresee Hordes of Colliding Black Holes in LIGO's Future
New calculations predict that the Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (LIGO) will detect approximately 1,000 mergers of massive black holes annually once it achieves full sensitivity early next decade.
