(February 12, 2016 at 11:02 am)Aractus Wrote: The truly astonishing thing is not that a gravitational wave has been measured, but that Einstein worked out such counter-intuitive theories without the benefit of building on other's ideas (i.e. Newton's).

I'm pretty sure that Einstein built upon the ideas of his contemporaries, but your point is well-taken. His work was truly a milestone in physics.

It's pretty amazing in general that Einstein's theories have held up so well and that every prediction has been satisfied, if I am not too mistaken, making relativity pretty bombproof as far as theories go.
