These are the gravitational wave observatories - LIGO in the United States and VIRGO in Italy. These observatories are looking for and now are frequently finding minute disturbances in space-time. The sources of these disturbances have proven to be the results of collisions and mergers of black holes - a process which propagates shivers in gravity throughout the universe.
