This week on Tomorrow’s World, Lelani and Rawan looked into the recent discovery of massive ripples in space and time. 

A few weeks ago, Scientists at the North American Nanohertz Observatory detected these gravitational waves in the fabric of space time. The discovery was made with a natural detector that was able to span over thousands of light years. 

Rawan spoke with Professor of physics and the University of Auckland, Robert Easther about what these waves are, how they where discovered and what they could mean for future research.
