Einsteins equations and super computer

[too-open-minded]

Awhile ago I read that some university of whom I do not remember, elongated Einsteins equations so the computer could process them. The computer processed the equations into a simulation and generated gravitational waves that Einstein theorized to exist. I can't find the original science journal or excerpt I read this from but I thought it said that after the simulation his equations were added on too or made more precise? I now think I read it wrong lol.

 

Anyways anybody help to clarify this for me? I'm assuming sense I can't find the journal it was false information or I read it wrong.

Numerical relativity is an established subject. Cambridge I know for sure has people working on that field. A quick google of "numerical relativity" will give you more information.

 

I have no idea about your specific question, but I expect they may have found a better way to numericlaly implement the equations on a computer rather than changed the equations as such.
