Einstein's general theory of relativity might be over 90 years old, but
it is only recently that many of its implications can be explored
thanks to advances in computing power. This is because its complex
nonlinear equations -- which describe how space--time is curved by
matter and therefore how matter moves in a gravitational field --
cannot be solved exactly, even for the simplest situations.
Now, Joan Centrella and co-workers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight
Center have made an important breakthrough in numerical relativity by
simulating what happens when two black holes merge. These
extraordinarily powerful events, which occur in the final stages of a
galactic collision, produce copious gravitational waves or "ripples" in
space--time.

Who paid for this work?
hahahahahahahahahahahah
Taxpayers are fools
If they paid for your education then I agree.
