Rumours swell over new kind of gravitational-wave sighting
While I would have a trouble imagining a quantum of the space-time curvature (the graviton), it is not hard to see that the changes in the curvature could propagate in the form of waves. So, while yes, an experimental discovery of these waves is an important event in history of science, I am left curious as to whether it adds anything to our present understanding of Nature...
