Wow! Black hole collision just proved this Albert Einstein theory right

[ad_1] An enormous black hole collision showing extreme signs of wobbling has confirmed a phenomenon predicted by Albert Einstein. A pair of black holes wobbling 3 times per second as they merged has confirmed a gravitational phenomenon predicted by Albert Einstein a century ago. The phenomenon also known as precession is similar to the wobbling motion that takes place when two ancient black holes collide together and merge into one. Gravity-induced orbital precession or wobbling is a consequence of general relativity's prediction about how gravity affects the fabric of space-time. This effect had been observed very weakly in neutron stars orbiting one another. According to the study published in Nature magazine, Mark Hannam at Cardiff University, UK, and his colleagues have seen a...
