a key prediction of albert einstein's general theory of relativity has been confirmed, in what scientists are calling a scientific breakthrough. yesterday, an all-star team of astro-physicists announced what they say is one of the biggest scientific discoveries of the decade. david reitze, laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatory: "ladies and gentlemen, we have detected gravitational waves, we did it! applause in the fabric of space-time predicted by einstein a century ago. for many years, scientists had no real evidence of their existence. but now... using an extremely sensitive laser instrument that cost more than a billion dollars... scientists detected one of these waves from the collision of two massive black holes a billion light years away. the waves... which unlike light, pass through matter... may help us learn about what makes up our universe.

first thought of by albert einstein a century ago. gabrielle: scientists have never been able to detect these waves in space until now. >> for the first time in history, scientists were able to observe ripples of the fabric of space-time. the discovery was set to started from the collision of two black holes. >> we did not know. there was no observation of this before today. >> this is evidence that members of the universe they were glad payroll in. >> more than 90 institutions participated around the world. japan europe australia. this was not a singular discovery. this is one of the biggest >> some claim this can produce new mathematical models theories and hypotheses. all of which will advance our understanding of the universe. [indiscernible] >> it's going to open the doors to learning and knowing more. >> this is a groundbreaking scientific discovery. how big? nobel prize worthy. >> this is important because it's the one that's gives the high sensitivity. >> live, local, breaking news. this is wyff news 4 at 6:00. >> school staye

physiques. the discovery of gravitational waves is one of the discoveries of modern science. albert einstein predicted them a dozen years ago. and they are described as ripples in the fabric of space and time. and to put it simply, when massive objects like black holes or neutron stars collide, the gravity sends ripples across the universe. >> 400 years ago, galileo turned a telescope to the sky and opened the era of modern as stron me. i think we're doing something wonderful. of the universe, gravity of the astronomy. >> the event happened 1.3 february is huge for us. all our handcrafted classic footlongs are just $6 each, and chicken & bacon ranch melt. $6 footlongs are a big deal. but the media is going a little crazy. i am in the heart of what is now being called "sub-mageddon." with an incredible amount of accumulation inside... that now seems to be spilling out on the streets. i have never seen anything like this before. enjoy all our delicious classic footlongs for just $6 each... >> medical team in the tri-state is one the first in the country to offer life changing procedure to lose

gary nelson at a time when use of force by police is under scrutiny, the top cop department >>> albert einstein was right on the money. a team of physicists announced to have direct evidence of gravitational waves, a recording of black holes collided 1 billion light years away is that confirmation. einstein predicted the nature of black holes a century ago. the announcement comes after 50 years of research of physicists who worked on the project. this will be one of the major long time. >>> royal caribbean is apologizing tonight for sailing into hurricane force winds of the weekend. the company said it has to do better. the national transportation safety board is in new jersey to inspect damage three passengers who were on board described scif sailing into the rough seas. the doors. break the glass. some efficacy water coming up to the balcony. student the ship is scheduled to set sail this weekend. officials are reviewing the storm avoidance policies to ensure an instant like this doesn't happen again. passengers will get a full refund and a certificate for 50% off a future crews. >>> still to
