The detection of gravitational waves is a major milestone, but too complex for impatient minds to grasp.
And like many other concepts in advanced physics, it is just mumbo jumbo for people rushing to work.
Here is strip from PhD Comics, which explains to you what thy are, how they were caused, why they were so difficult to detect, and why they are such a big deal.
For the record, gravitational waves were predicted by Einstein a full century ago. Their detection give a full endorsement to his path-breaking theories that changed our understanding of times and space.
