Gravitational waves: A triumph for big science - BBC News
I thought this explanation of how the gravity wave detection was achieved is clear and understandable.
I'm not all that excited about it, though: I mean, if every single other test of general relativity had been proved, there wasn't any reason to suspect gravity waves wouldn't be detected, eventually, was there?
Yes it's a brilliant technical achievement, but of itself, I can't see it leading anywhere new in particular.
