This is analogous to Sun and all the planets in the solar system. The sun being the most massive thing in the solar system, all the other planets being less massive, they all tend to deviate towards the sun but never truly fall into the sun as because of the presence of their own gravity. Hence they revolve around the sun. This circular orbital motion of less fabric distorting objects around more fabric distorting objects is what called as \u2018ORBIT\u2019.\n
Gravity is the weakest force of nature which makes it the most significant one. Anything with mass\/energy has gravity to attract other object. All objects attract each other but their effect on each other (if small) is totally less and insignificant.\n

\tDetecting gravitational waves was a near impossible task. Space and Time are endless fabric and we cannot stretch the entirety of it and to find a ripple\/distortion in this big fabric is almost a herculean task. But we did it. It was the brains of LIGO(Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory)scientists who have devised a way to detect these.\n
\tWe need a measuring device to do so and what can be constant and measurable awesome lengths all together? LIGHT!\n
LIGO scientists made use of the fastest thing in the universe and made an awesome measurement instrument which is the most accurate instrument up ever.\n

\tAbout a billion light years away (1 light year=distance travelled by light in a year), two black holes have been circling each other and eventually collided into each other creating a single black hole. As we all know how stubborn black holes are and that not even light could escape it, it does have an incredible strong gravity which is the only thing we can use to identify it. Luckily with the new device, we could detect something which happened a billion years ago. WE LITERALlY HEARD them colliding. \n

\tSo far, this has been the only successful attempt to detect the presence of a black hole and this will for sure open new gates to a new world of possibilities and also lead to the discovery of things we never knew even existed. Today is indeed a big day for science and humanity.\n
