Einstein was right about Relativity (for now at least)

TLDR

A newly detected gravitational wave, GW250114, is providing scientists with their clearest view yet of a black hole collision, offering a powerful tool to test Einstein's theory of general relativity. The clarity of the signal allowed researchers to measure multiple tones from the collision, all aligning with Einstein's predictions. This confirmation is exciting, but the possibility of future signals deviating from these predictions could lead to new insights into physics beyond our current understanding of gravity.
