5、he customs. . 阅读理解It took 100 years, but finally, scientists proved Albert Einsteins theory that gravitational waves(引力波) exist. The waves were predicted as part of Einsteins General Theory of Relativity nearly 100 years ago. It was the theory of the physics behind the workings of our world and the
6、universe. The idea was that the waves are like ripples(涟漪, 波痕) in space, caused by some of the violent and energetic processes in the Universe. For example, two black holes crash into each other. Now a group of scientists, including ones from CalTech, MIT and the LIGO Scientific Collaboration finall

8、s ripples or waves. Spacetime is like the surface of the water. So that means gravitational waves are like the ripples moving out from where the rock hits the water. It might be hard to understand, but those gravitational waves expand and contract space and time as they move through space. And when

10、 your eyes. They are smaller than the size of an atom. How did the scientists find them? They used a very big scientific tool called LIGO. The billion-dollar LIGO project is two L-shaped observatories. One is in Louisiana and one in Washington state. Their job was to watch for these gravitational wa
