In its first 153 days of operation, two events were detected that could, in principle, be high frequency gravitational waves, which have not been recorded by scientists before. Such high frequency gravitational waves may have been created by a primordial black hole or a cloud of dark matter particles. The results were published this month in the American Physical Society APS Physics journal in an article titled ΓÇ£Rare Events Detected with a Bulk Acoustic Wave High Frequency Gravitational Wave AntennaΓÇ¥. Gravitational waves were originally predicted by Albert Einstein, who theorised that the movement of astronomical objects could cause waves of space-time curvature to be sent rippling through the
