Yes, that's right. A Harvard led team has detected gravitational waves. If confirmed, this proves both Einstein's postulation that gravitational waves exist and the Inflationary Universe Theory which claims the universe started off as a particle and expanded at an incredible rate those first few trillionths of a second.
Physicists are calling the discovery spectacular, Nobel worthy, cosmology’s missing link, and bigger than the discovery of the Higgs boson particle at Cern on July 4 2012.
Congratulations to the Scientists and the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Now, I don't know how this discovery leads to applied science, but I wouldn't rule out a tractor beam or a graviton weapon in the next couple of hundred years.
