Lyrics Gravitational Waves - Sky Sky

Gravitational waves provide a completely new way of looking at the Universe
This discovery is the first detection of a black hole binary system
And the first observation of black holes merging
The area of the final black hole is greater than the sum of the areas of the initial black holes
As predicted by my black hole area theorem
The properties of these black holes are also consistent with the black hole no-hair theorem
Which says that they should be uniquely characterized by their mass and spin
The ability to detect them has the potential to revolutionize astronomy

This discovery lets us test the predictions of General Relativity
When the gravitational field is strong, and highly dynamical, during the black hole merger
These results confirm several very important predictions of Einstein's Theory of General Relativity
It confirms the existence of gravitational waves directly
