This nearly incomprehensible explosion of energy—a cosmic cataclysm creating literal ripples in the very fabric of spacetime, dubbed “Gravitational Waves”—was detected Sept. 14, 2015 by the twin Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors in Livingston, Louisiana and Hanford, Washington. These waves were predicted more than 100 years ago by Albert Einstein, and their validation gives credence to his other theories, among these, that time travel is more than possible, but a simple understanding of how this realm works.
