Up until now, scientists relied heavily on electromagnetic radiation, spanning from radio waves to visible light to gamma rays, in order to study objects and various phenomena in Space. However, gravitational waves are on a completely different level of observation because they are not electromagnetic radiation, "carrying information about cosmic objects and events that is not carried by electromagnetic radiation." Take the example of two black holes colliding. When this happens, very little electromagnetic radiation is emitted, but so much gravitational waves are to the point that, when detected, they will "'shine brightly' like beacons on an utterly dark cosmic sea." Gravitational waves, because they do not interact with matter like electromagnetic radiation do, ensure that information is not altered or distorted as it makes it way through Space to Earth. They are a new way of studying the universe and will allow scientists to learn more about the universe's origin and how cataclysmic events, like colliding black holes, work. The discovery of gravitational waves is truly a revolution in Space research.
