Gravitational waves are a subject that scientists around the world currently pay attention to these waves, which also is my consideration for a long time.
Einstein really deal with gravitational waves in his general relativity theory in 1915 (or 1916?) that recent scientists are trying to discover these waves in a prediction that they call “the prediction of gravitational waves in 1916’s Einstein general relativity theory,” with a lot of gravitation group such as LISA [Home Page]

In my study to Einstein’s life and work, the prediction of Einstein in 1916 maybe wrong, because the general relativity theory has some defeats that Einstein confirmed in 1923, when he come to Sweden to receive the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. This award was not recognized his famous relativity theory.
In my opinion, the discovery of gravitational waves should be progressed if scientists around the world study these waves in a direction of unified field theory that Einstein introduced in 1920.
