Two Oregon State University scientists were part of a team that recently detected large numbers of low-frequency gravitational waves moving throughout the universe.

At least, that’s how the theory of gravitational waves goes, according to Jeffrey Hazboun, an astrophysicist at Oregon State University.
“Gravitational waves are vibrations in the Jell-O,” he said.
Hazboun and his students are part of a
