Description: Using General Relativity, Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational radiation in 1916. Laser interferometers have a significant chance of detecting these waves in time for the centennial of Einstein's prediction. Such observations would yield profoundly new and different information on energetic events in the universe, like collisions of black holes.
