Gravitation Wave: A new sense awakens!!

Few minutes back scientists (astrophysicist at LIGO, to be precise) announced the confirmation of Gravitational Waves, in an eagerly awaited press conference. Something that Einstein predicted exactly hundred years back. So we have from now on a new sense, a new way to observe universe!! This is truly big, discovery of a lifetime. It is a moment akin to Galileo looking through his telescope for the very first time four hundred years back. The implication is tremendous. This could be a step towards solving, something that bothered Einstein in the later part of his life, the theory that brings gravity and quantum on the same frame, as they say: The Theory for Everything.
