Chinese scientists announced on Tuesday a research program "Taiji" that will study gravitational waves from the merging of binary black holes and other celestial bodies.
In a historic announcement, scientists said Thursday they have for the first time directly detected the existence of gravitational waves, which were predicted 100 years ago by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics.
