Hopefully, with that catalog of detections, we will begin to see discrepancies from the predictions of Theory of General Relativity that will lead us to an even deeper understanding of gravity, particularly at the quantum realm. (astronomynotes.com)
Einstein's famous theory of general relativity predicts the existence of gravitational waves, but it's taken humanity over a century to develop the technological know - how to build a detector sensitive enough to perceive them. (science.howstuffworks.com)
At stake is the nearly 100 - year quest to unify the well - tested theories of general relativity and quantum mechanics into a supertheory of quantum gravity. (sciencenews.org)
