However, we never before have had the important independent confirmation of the merger of two neutron stars that we now have obtained with this new gravitational wave detection. (sciencedaily.com)
The future of gravitational wave detection concerns much more than validating (or undermining) general relativity. (newscientist.com)
The result follows similar tests performed with the LISA Pathfinder spacecraft, which was built as a test - bed for gravitational wave detection techniques. (sciencenews.org)
