Have gravitational waves been found?

Excited rumors began circulating on Twitter this morning that a major experiment designed to hunt for gravitational waves—ripples in the fabric of spacetime first predicted by Albert Einstein—has observed them directly for the very first time. If confirmed, this would be one of the most significant physics discoveries of the last century.

I wish I could live somewhere with a view like this.

Falling asleep most nights with the stars above and the cool air coming in through the open window. Sure is a fun way to live.
