The scientists of Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Obervatory won the award for the Gravitational Wave Detection. The Breakthrough Prize Foundation has awarded LIGO a special prize of $3 million in Fundamental Physics. The discovery of space-time ripples with the collision of two black holes lead the scientists of LIGO for this honor.
Albert Einstein's theory of gravitational waves in space time was proven after two Latinas discovered it by observing two colliding black holes.
