gravitational waves

A few days ago has been able to prove something that had theoretically postulated about 100 years ago Albert Einstein formulated, but which he was not sure whether it would ever be able to really prove. Gravitational waves are effectively a barely perceptible tremors in space. They are formed when two neutron stars merge. This is not to say a much as a layman, it is nevertheless pleased with that as well something special happened. The special feature of the matter is that astronomy is now in a sense does not have to look more silent films but films with sound when it transfers times on television. Until now it had to rely solely on light signals. Now, with the detection of gravitational waves, one still has a second measuring option that lets you in the long run, so if you believe,

For the everyday life of the ordinary citizen thus initially probably does not change all that much actually or nothing. But in the long run you will probably know even know where the infinite universe is the end. Which is of course an oxymoron. What has no end, can not end so well. In this respect we are human beings in the long run probably a little smarter, to the question of why there is anything we never get with the natural sciences probably still an answer. but at least we can always explain to me how something arose. The why-question remains, however.
