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.
Two huge experiments named Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory or LIGO was set up to determine gravitational waves in the spacetime and got a breakthrough in 2016 after discovering ripples in the spacetime.
Albert Einstein's theory of gravitational waves in space time was proven after two Latinas discovered it by observing two colliding black holes.
