   Why are gravitational waves important?

   • “Gravitational waves—they’re the only other kind of wave that we have for exploring the universe, and the gravitational waves as we understand them are going to bring us very different kinds of information about the universe than you could never see with electromagnetic waves,” he says in the video.

   Where did gravitational waves come from?

   • The gravitational waves in question emanated from the collision of two black holes some 1.3 billion light years away, which means the collision took place 1.3 billion years ago but the waves only arrived at our planet a few months back. They were noticed by an experiment called LIGO, for Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory.
