Abstract

Gravitational waves, predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, represent ripples in the fabric of spacetime itself. Their detection has opened up a new window to the universe, allowing scientists to observe phenomena previously hidden from traditional telescopes. This article provides an overview of gravitational waves, their sources, detection methods, and the implications of their discovery.
