I'm just amazed at how many space discoveries there've been lately. I find this one particularly interesting, because it just shows what seems like a new perspective on gravity, that our natural senses would never have detected. I wonder how many more forces are out there to discover.
"With facilities like the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and Virgo, we can now detect the strongest of those ripples as they wash over the Earth. But gravitational waves leave behind a memory — a permanent bend in space-time — as they pass through, and we are now on the verge of being able to detect that too, allowing us to push our understanding of gravity to the limits."
