    Einstein's waves win Nobel Prize

    Quote:

    The 2017 Nobel prize in physics has been awarded to three US scientists for the detection of gravitational waves.

    Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne and Barry Barish will share the nine million kronor (£831,000) prize.

    The ripples were predicted by Albert Einstein and are a fundamental consequence of his General Theory of Relativity.

    The winners are members of the Ligo-Virgo observatories, which were responsible for the breakthrough.
