      Hi Blake,

      Gravitational waves!!! for sure. This is a completely new way of looking out to our universe.

      They had been predicted by relativity but not measured yet. You know, we have telescopes that pick up light, radio or even microwaves. That’s what we’ve been using so far.

      But now we can actually pick up ripples in spacetime! they can be used to understand what happens when black holes collide or may tell us a lot about the early universe.
