description:  Discover new realms of outer space in this picture book biography of scientist Gabriela Gonzalez who immigrated to America and became a ground-breaking scientist. Written by a molecular biologist and illustrated by an award-winning artist this stunning picture book explores science space and history.In 1916 Albert Einstein had a theory. He thought that somewhere out in the universe there were collisions in space. These collisions could cause little sound waves in the fabric of space-time that might carry many secrets of the distant universe. But it was only a theory. He could not prove it in his lifetime.Many years later an immigrant scientist named Gabriela Gonzalez asked the same questions. Armed with modern technology she joined a team of physicists who set out to prove Einstein's theory. At first there was nothing. But then... they heard a sound. Gabriela and her team examined and measured and re-measured until they were sure. Completing the work that Albert Einstein had begun 100 years earlier Gonzalez broke ground for new space-time research. In a fascinating picture book that covers 100 years 2 pioneering scientists and 1 trailblazing discovery Patricia Valdez sheds light on a little known but extraordinary story.
