If
the recent discovery of gravitational waves emanating from the early universe holds up under scrutiny, it will illuminate a connection between gravity and quantum mechanics and perhaps, in the process, verify the existence of other universes
Truth can not contradict truth, so when I read about
the recent discovery of gravitational waves I was both excited, as a physics teacher, and delighted as a Catholic, seeing in this another sign of God's creative power and wisdom manifested in the universe.
Speaking of
the recent discoveries of gravitational waves and detection of he Higgs boson, Perimeter Institute Director Neil Turok calls this a «new golden age for physics.»

And in a preprint paper we submitted immediately after Advanced LIGO's February 2016 announcement
of its first
gravitational -
wave discovery (https://arxiv.org/abs/1603.05234)-- published this past March — we noted that it had probably detected the merging
of such PBHs and estimated the rate
of events expected in our scenario, which seems to agree with more
recent observations.
And in the case
of only such black holes
of many solar masses making up dark matter, it existed before the Advanced Laser Interferometer

► Finally, in this week's Science editorial, Michael S. Turner makes a plea for curiosity - based science, pointing to scientific connections between two
recent momentous
discoveries, the Background Imaging
of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization (BICEP2) detection
of evidence
of gravitational waves in the cosmic microwave background (still subject to confirmation) and the detection
of the Higgs boson.
Highlighting examples include Joseph Weber's detection
of Gravitational Waves using a bar detector in 1968, and the
recent discovery of neutrinos travelling faster than light by the ICARUS particle detector.
