Wow! Black hole collision just proved this Albert Einstein theory right
A pair of black holes wobbling 3 times per second as they merged has confirmed a gravitational phenomenon predicted by Albert Einstein a century ago. The phenomenon also known as precession is similar to the wobbling motion that takes place when two ancient black holes collide together and merge into one. Gravity-induced orbital precession or wobbling is a consequence of general relativity's prediction about how gravity affects the fabric of space-time.
