...unique pair whirled through space, they offered an ideal test of Einstein's theory. According to general relativity, their movements should be accompanied by an emission of gravity waves. That faint radiation would be impossibly difficult to detect from earth. Still, if Einstein were right, the energy drawn from the orbiting bodies by those waves would cause a predictable effect: the two bodies, which spin around each other about once every eight hours at a velocity of 1.06 million k.p.h. (660,000 m.p.h.), would move ever closer, causing a shortening in their orbital period. The loss, to be sure, would...
