“14% of the total masses of the colliding black holes were converted into gravitational wave energy”

I wonder if they really said this using these words. This almost implies that gravity is a type of energy wave that can be emitted, comparable to eletromagnetic energy. The implications of that are staggering.

Yes. That is the theory.
