Physicists will make their big gravitational wave announcement this Thursday!

It's been 100 years since Einstein first predicted the existence of gravitational waves - ripples in spacetime caused by the most explosive events in the Universe - and scientists have been desperately searching for direct evidence of them ever since. But the wait might finally be over, with a big announcement scheduled for this Thursday, 11 February at 10.30am EST. If the educated rumours are anything to go by, we're about to see the first clear evidence of gravitational waves' existence.
