In summary, General Relativity and Gravitational Waves are two concepts that have revolutionized our understanding of the universe. General Relativity, developed by Albert Einstein, explains how gravity works as a curvature of spacetime caused by massive objects. This theory has been confirmed by numerous experiments and is the basis for our current understanding of gravity. Gravitational Waves, on the other hand, are ripples in spacetime caused by the movement of massive objects, such as the collision of two black holes. These waves were predicted by Einstein's theory and have finally been directly detected by scientists in recent years. The study of General Relativity and Gravitational Waves continues to fascinate and challenge scientists, offering new insights into the mysteries of the universe.
