Albert Einstein was not only a genius, but also prophetic. His work and wisdom is scientifically proven. His complicated theory of gravitational waves was proven right as scientists were able to hear and record the sound of two black holes colliding a billion light-years away. Gravitational waves have been directly detected for the first time. This scientific wonder has fulfilled the last unproven prediction of Einstein made almost a century ago. Einstein's theory of relativity has come full circle. It completes his vision of a universe in which space and time are interwoven and dynamic. It is one of the major breakthroughs in physics after a very long time.
As Einstein is eulogised and praised for his work, tributes are due for physicists and countless others behind the curtain who worked all these years to physically register and prove the theory as science. The weirdest and wildest implications of Einstein's theory on universe are now up for experiments as science progresses beyond horizons.
As rightly stated by Szabolcs Marka, a Columbia University professor and scientist, "astronomy finally got the ears". The sound bite that has recorded the gravitational waves will be heard by billions of people, and is likely to become a record of sorts on social media. This is so because one of the most ineffable notions of physics has come true. Science-lovers should see it as an opportunity to dwell deep into many such theories that await the test of credibility.
The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) report, which documents the discovery, puts it in as many words, saying that the astronomers are now sure of a pair of black holes! In other words, the future for the dark side now looks bright.
