In 1915 Einstein predicted the existence of traveling disturbances in space-time called "gravitational waves". Almost 100 years later we still have not directly detected such waves. However, models suggest that the universe is filled with them. A number of experiments are now on the brink of detecting gravitational waves, including the International Pulsar Timing Array in which Jodrell Bank plays a key part. Gravitational wave observatories will allow us to see the essential nature of exotic objects that can only be indirectly observed by eye, such as black holes, gamma-ray bursts, and supernova explosions. The IPTA is sensitive to massive black holes with masses billions of times that of the sun. Black hole binary systems are prodigious sources of gravitational waves that will alter the arrival times of pulsar signals. We expect that in the next 10 years we will detect the signature of thousands of massive black holes merging with other massive black holes early in the history of our universe.
