Can the researchers identify the source/direction of these very faint gravitational waves? Is it a "cumulative" wave?

Very important discovery - perfect example of how the scientific method works - the interplay between theory/mathematics and experiment/observation

A huge number of scientists, research groups and institutions have been involved in the LIGO project. (e.g Lots of Russian input which spans several decades).
