Naturally, you want to be actually providing your clients with the most value you can for the money they’re paying you.

Long ago, deep in space, two massive black holes—the ultrastrong gravitational fields left behind by gigantic stars that collapsed to infinitesimal points—slowly drew together. The stellar ghosts spiraled ever closer, until, about 1.3 billion years ago, they whirled about each other at half the speed of light and finally merged.

And, for the first time, physicists detected the waves, fulfilling a 4-decade quest and opening new eyes on the heavens.
