Explanation:
The recent observation of the merger of giant black holes billions of light-years away signifies the detection of gravitational waves. This discovery confirms Einstein's theory of general relativity and opens up a new field of astronomy known as gravitational wave astronomy. It provides direct evidence of black holes and allows scientists to study extreme cosmic phenomena. The detection of gravitational waves has significant implications for our understanding of the universe and offers a unique way to observe and study celestial objects.
