Astrophysicists working on the BICEP2 project operating telescopes at the South Pole believe they have found proof of a theory posited by Albert Einstein in 1916.

Gravitational waves were a consequence of Einstein's theory that Newton's "force at a distance" was actually a curving of the four-dimensional fabric of space-time. If the continuum could be distorted, then with enough energy those warps could be made to move.
