The novel numerical method, which employs the ideas of the Russian physicist Galerkin, allows the computation of gravitational waves on supercomputers with very high accuracy and speed. "Reaching this result, which has been the goal of many groups worldwide for many years, was not easy," says Prof. Rezzolla. "Although what we accomplished is only a small step toward modelling realistic black holes, we expect our approach to become the paradigm of all future calculations."
