Gravitational waves may have been detected for the first time, but we won't know for sure until February 11, 2016 — when scientists will either confirm or dispel the rumors, sources close to the matter tell Tech Insider. Detection of gravitational waves would be unprecedented. Whoever finds them is also likely to pick up a Nobel prize, since the phenomenon would confirm one of the last pieces of Albert Einstein's famous 1915 theory of general relativity. Confirming they exist would tell us we're on the right track to understanding how the universe works. Being unable to detect them might mean that we went wrong somewhere with physics — and have a lot of work to do. "Gravitational waves are ripples ...
