LIGO observed a transient waveform from a binary-black-hole merger in 2015, the first direct detection of gravitational waves and a strong-field test of general relativity.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
GW150914 matched a binary-black-hole inspiral, merger, and ringdown waveform.
The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.
ligo-gw150914ligo-gravitational-wave-scienceThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
The signal’s inspiral, merger, and ringdown were consistent with numerical general-relativistic predictions.
The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.
wp-physics-gw150914_detectionligo-gw150914This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
LIGO measured the strain waveform from a binary-black-hole coalescence, directly detecting gravitational waves and matching a general-relativistic inspiral–merger–ringdown signal.
The source theory, law, entity, prediction, or structural claim is directly tested, supported, constrained, or established by the target experiment or observation. Experimental support is not final logical proof; the edge detail states exactly what was measured.
