What does this do for us? What good comes from the discovery gravitational waves?

So we have proven that these gravitational waves do exist by finding two black holes at the moment of their collision 1.3 Billion years ago. How many times do you think that occurs? If it took this unusual set of circumstances for us just to be able to prove the theory, I fail to see how this means that we are suddenly going to be able to detect gravitational waves on a regular basis.

Not only does it give us a brew tool, but it further solidifies Einstein's theory general of relativity.

That's been my question. General knowledge is good, but does it lead to anything practical? Will it heat up my Hot Pocket faster? I haven't figure that out yet.

Not what I said at all. This is an important discovery and long term will probably mean a lot of advances. But my point was that given the long odds of the event that allowed them to see this it may be a while before we are able to find another one. Eventually we will get to the point where we will be able to measure and experiment with gravitational waves but probably not in the lifetime of anyone posting here currently.
