(moderation:
This BBC article talks about laser interferometry, gravity waves etc.
There is a link to Einstein@Home, but somewhat suprisingly, it does not feature in the article. The BBC in the past have normally chosen to add a "popular science/interaction" piece to otherwise "high brow" stories.
Wave upon wave of demented avengers march cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream.

Maybe BBC thinks all scientific computations would be done by scientists clad in white gowns by punching cards to be fed to a UNIVAC computer. In my youth I did such things, helped by a blond assistant girl. Sigh!
