摘要：

Gravity waves — predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity, but not yet detected — may one day reveal more about the very early Universe. They may also test theories of quantum gravity (the'unification' of quantum and gravitational forces), if a proposal to use gravity-wave detectors to probe the fuzziness of space-time becomes reality.
