Pakistani-born Dr Nergis part of team that detected gravitational waves

Pakistani-born astrophysicist Dr Nergis Mavalvala was part of team of efficient scientists, who verified Albert Einstein's 1915 general theory of relativity. Dr Nargis, in an interview to an American newspaper, stated that the technology has been advanced now as "we can not only see the things but can also hear the secrets."
She said that the eagle-eyed scientists have altogether opened an unprecedented new window onto the cosmos by finding ripples in the fabric of space time called gravitational waves, making it possible to hear the secrets. Almost 100 years ago, the famous scientist Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves or ripples in the fabric of space-time in 1916. Einstein was of the view that these waves would be really small and nearly impossible to detect.
