If I know Scientist, and I do as an ex-Scientist-in-training-wheel, Scientists will continue to try to disprove Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.

Cosmic breakthrough: Physicists detect gravitational waves from violent black-hole merger
By Joel Achenbach and Rachel Feltman February 11 at 1:49 PM
Scientists announced Thursday that, after decades of effort, they have succeeded in detecting gravitational waves from the violent merging of two black holes in deep space. The detection was hailed as a triumph for a controversial, exquisitely crafted, billion-dollar physics experiment and as confirmation of a key prediction of Albert Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
It will also inaugurate a new era of astronomy in which gravitational waves are tools for studying the most mysterious and exotic objects in the universe, scientists declared at a euphoric news briefing at the National Press Club in Washington.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have detected gravitational waves. We did it!" declared David Reitze, executive director of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), drawing applause from an audience that included many of the luminaries of the physics world. The briefing was watched around the globe by physicists who have long waited for such a detection.
Some of the scientists gathered for the announcement had spent decades conceiving and constructing LIGO.
