Scientists Find That The Universe Is Flooded With Gravitational Waves

JAKARTA A new discovery was made by Jeff Hazboun, a scientist from Oregon State University, United States. The discovery is about the gravitational wave that is currently flooding the universe.

This discovery reinforces the theory of gravitational waves of the universe put forward by Albert Eisntein at 1916. According to Hazboun these gravitational waves are generated from a pair of massive black holes that continue to rotate and oscillate, such as the bandul motion.

Gravitational waves are produced by astronomically dense material in our universe, which orbits each other. Gravitational waves are truly stretched and compress space and time as they move through the universe," said Hazboun, an astrophysicist who presented his findings in the Astrophysics Journal as quoted by Reuters.

Einstein's theory of gravitational waves was proposed in 1916, to strengthen the theory of relativity he revealed in 1905. Until 2016 the theory of gravitational waves of the universe has not been proven by scientists, although serious research has been carried out since the 1970s.

"We see the journey of gravitational waves as the beat of the change in the arrival time of the pulsar array in our Galaxy," said Hazboun again.

Through this discovery, it means that astrophysical experts have opened new insights into the supermassive black hole, as a result of the formation of the universe 13.8 billion years ago.

Black holes are a mysterious object. This object is said to be very dense and much larger in size than the sun, and is in the middle of our galaxy.
