It was only on February 11, 2016, that a breakthrough in Einstein's Theory of General Relativity that was proposed in 1915. He explained the collision of two massive celestial object that creates minutes ripples of Gravitational Waves. The breakthrough became the biggest science story of 2016 that has opened a new field of science.
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.
