Good News CommunityScientists have found evidence supporting Einstein’s prediction of “gravitational memory,” a permanent spacetime distortion caused by gravitational waves. New research suggests these wrinkles might be detectable using existing technology, revolutionizing our understanding of black hole collisions and Einstein’s general relativity.

Unproven Einstein theory of 'gravitational memory' may be real after all, new study hints
Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests that the "memory" of ancient events, such as black hole mergers, may be etched into the fabric of space-time by gravitational waves. New research shows how this theory of gravitational memory could finally be proven.
