Abstract Gravitational waves, spacetime, and Einstein predictions Defined in 2016. Direct detection in 2015 by the Laser Gravitational-Wave Interferometer Observatory opened a new era in observational astronomy. This paper focuses on different methods of gravitational wave detection. In addition to the ground based interferometers in ligo and virgo, and proposed space based ligo, pulsar timing arrays use the advanced precision of millisecond pulsars to detect waves. Space based ligo aims to detect lower frequency waves from the mergers of super massive black holes. This research looks the profound astophysicial perspectives that can be possible with the2study of gravitational waves from black lpulse and neutron star mergers, and the multi messenger which combines gravitational, electromagnetic and neutrino waves. This paper looks and analyzes the data of the most recent detections and the literature to show how gravitational waves validates a major prediction of the general relativity and provides new insights to the evolution of stars and the formation of the universe, the collection of compact objects and the structures within the universe, and the folding of the universe cascade. In the end, gravitational wave astronomy stands as a groundbreaking instrument in decoding the enigmas of the cosmos.
