The largest black hole collision ever recorded has scientists' jaws on the floor — and scratching their heads.

Gravitational waves, the result of two black holes merging, have been detected by a sophisticated observatory. Scientists say that proves Einstein was right.

The waves in Wednesday's announcement traveled for 1.4 billion years before they reached Earth late last year and set off detectors at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO ...
