I agree pretty durn cool--last major unconfirmed  prediction of general 
relativity is verified.  Yes, as electromagnetism is much stronger and 
electromagnetic waves are  easy to detect as they propagate through space-time, 
gravitational waves also propagate at light speed
but are ripples in space-time itself.  The event detected was right at the 
border of detectability prior to the previous upgrade to the LIGO--two more 
upgrades are planned enabling detection of less cataclysmic events.  A new form 
of astronomy
is thus born using gravitational waves.  The cosmologists should have a field 
day with real data  from LIGO and the LHC  to refine the models of everything.  
SUSY (supersymmetry) is already just about moribund with the last round of LHC 
data.  

The real not the simulated, Mike
