It took a century, but the theory from Albert Einstein handwritten neatly on paper that is now yellowing has finally been vindicated.
Israeli officials on Thursday offered a rare look at the documents where Einstein presented his ideas on gravitational waves, a display that coincided with the historic announcement that scientists had glimpsed the first direct evidence of his theory. [...]
In a landmark discovery for physics and astronomy, international scientists announced in Washington on Thursday that they had glimpsed the first direct evidence of gravitational waves, or ripples in space-time.
Einstein's theory states that mass warps space and time, much like placing a bowling ball on a trampoline. Other objects on the surface will "fall" towards the center - a metaphor for gravity in which the trampoline is space-time. Gravitational waves do not interact with matter and travel through the universe completely unimpeded. ...

So if gravity is a wave, is there a way to cancel gravitation from two sources — much line an ocean wave.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it turned out to be that way.
