2:54Now PlayingScientists have picked up shock waves from the orbit of supermassive black holes at the heart of distant galaxies as they begin to merge.

The theory is that this is how galaxies grow. Now astronomers may soon be able to watch it happen.
These distortions are happening all the time, all across the Universe.
