Double Pulsar Discovered

Posted by michael on from the double-your-pleasure dept.

jabberjaw writes "Nature is reporting that a set of two pulsars could be emitting gravitational waves. Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves in his general theory of relativity, but a gravitational wave has yet to be detected. Find out more about gravitational waves and pulsars at Eric Weisstein's World of Physics."

    you're the science equivalent of the guy who says his OS is AOL.
