This is the team that\u0026nbsp;made its own splash\u0026nbsp;in the science world in 2015\u0026nbsp;with the\u0026nbsp;first\u0026nbsp;detection\u0026nbsp;of a gravitational wave signal, the result of a black hole collision\u0026nbsp;1.5 billion light years from Earth. Now\u0026nbsp;LIGO announces\u0026nbsp;that a third gravitational wave was observed and confirmed in January\u0026nbsp;from even farther away: about\u0026nbsp;3 billion light years. Once again, Albert Einstein has been\u0026nbsp;proven right, and once again the science media can\u0026#39;t resist a story that features black holes acting mysteriously\u0026nbsp;and\u0026nbsp;ripples of space and time flying through the cosmos at lightspeed.
