The scientific community believes that their discovery will ensure them a Nobel Prize.
For years, scientists were striving to find facts proving the existence of gravitational waves. Almost a century after Einstein’ exposition of gravity, specialists detected waves for the first time and revealed them to the world as a short chirp sound. Such a sound resulted from the collision of two supermassive black holes that are 1.3 billion light-years away from the Earth.
Scientists say that when a body moves round a black hole, the energy produced in form of gravitational waves is six times as powerful as the energy generated from thermonuclear reactions.
Of course, it is our up-to-date technologies that allowed us to detect and hear gravitational waves. In 2011, gravitational wave 'hunters' were reinstalled. Advanced LIGO is four times as sensitive as the previous incarnation. It is the largest apparatus on our planet with 4-km arms.
The devices are constructed to detect a wave going through our planet as a result of a black hole merger. Green light in the picture is a wave.
LIGO (Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory) is actually two facilities, one in Louisiana and the other in Washington state; and both of them detected these waves.

The United Nations has released fresh data on the most populous cities in the world. Let's take a look at the top megacities by population.
Deepfake is a technology based on artificial intelligence to create ultra-realistic fake videos, audio, and images featuring real people. In recent years, it has gained incredible popularity, evoking both admiration and concern. Celebrities, whose faces are often used for such purposes, have felt its impact most acutely. In this article, we will discuss five of the most "deepfaked" individuals who have become the main victims of this emerging technology.
The biggest news of recent days has been Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election. This event has caused a stir around the world, reminding us of the significant role a US president plays in both national development and international affairs. Throughout US history, several presidents have dramatically reshaped the country's domestic landscape and strengthened its influence abroad. Let's take a look at some of the most influential
