However, gravity is very weak…
Only 5% of the universe is ordinary matter with 27% being dark matter and the remaining 68% being dark energy, with the latter two being called “dark” as we don’t understand what they are.
One scheme, first tried out about 1960, employed a massive
A gravitational wave is an invisible (yet incredibly fast) ripple in space.
Two immediate reasons come to mind (I’ll leave aside my own interest in simply wanting to know).
Note that gravitational waves themselves are invisible.
To put this into perspective, two colliding black holes each with a mass of ten times that of our sun would result in a wave causing a distortion of 1% of the diameter of an atom when it reaches the Earth.
Gravitational waves are essentially tidal disturbances that ripple across space.
In outer space that means objects like neutron stars or black holes orbiting around each other at ever increasing rates, or stars that blow themselves up.
If we treat the surface of the trampoline as the fabric then the more massive child distorts the fabric more than the other.
Similarly, gravitational waves would be caused by masses in motion and are detected when they initiate motion in other masses. Any massive cosmic object can produce these on acceleration. Einstein's mathematics showed that massive accelerating objects (such as neutron stars or black holes orbiting each other) would disrupt space-time in such a way that 'waves' of undulating space-time would propagate in all directions away from the source.

Other waves are predicted to be caused by the rotation of neutron stars that are not perfect spheres, and possibly even the remnants of gravitational radiation created by the Big Bang.The animation below illustrates how gravitational waves are emitted by two neutron stars as they orbit each other and then coalesce (credit: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center).

In fact, the gravitational waves from LIGO’s first detection only scrunched space-time by a distance of about 1/1,000 the size of an atomic nucleus.
The collision happened 1.3 billion years ago.
He won half the prize, with American physicists Kip S. Thorne and Barry C. Barish sharing the other half.…

…general relativity is that of gravitational waves.
That means everything that moves, moves through it. We may also learn more about gravity itself!When a gravitational wave passes by Earth, it squeezes and stretches space.
…observation of the effect of gravitational radiation.……the first direct detection of gravity waves. The spacecraft will contain thrusters for maneuvering them into an equilateral triangle, with sides of approximately 5 million km (3 million miles), such that the triangle's centre will be located along the Earth's orbit.
This means, they are ripples that carry gravitational energy away from the site of impact of two objects in space.
In this model, anything with mass distorts the space-time fabric.
Now we have a new way to learn about the universe—by studying waves of gravity.Gravitational waves will help us learn many new things about our universe. Gravitational wave, also called gravity wave and gravitational radiation, the transmission of variations in the gravitational field as waves.According to general relativity, the curvature of space-time is determined by the distribution of masses, while the motion of masses is determined by the curvature.
Gravitational waves are distortions in the fabric of space and time caused by the movement of massive objects, like sound waves in air or the ripples made on a …
And sometimes, these events only cause small, weak gravitational waves.
Professor of Science Education, Research Coordinator within the School of Education, Nottingham Trent University Gravitational waves travel at the speed of light (186,000 miles per second).
Direct observation of gravitational waves, which commenced with the detection of an event by LIGO in 2015, constitutes part of gravitational wave astronomy.LIGO has played a role in all subsequent detections to date, with Virgo joining in August 2017. Gravitational waves are ripples in the space-time continuum (instead of an ordinary mattress, think of a waterbed).
This is a list of observed/candidate gravitational wave events.

When we usually talk of gravitation we are bound to think like Newton, where objects are assumed to exert a force upon each other.Like imaginary arrows of force in space.
Let one of the children on the trampoline pull a heavy object across the surface.
He believed that this kind of movement could cause ripples in space. They are made visible here to illustrate their propagation away from the source.Though Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves in 1916, the first proof of their existence didn't arrive until 1974, 20 years after his death.
The most convincing concerned radio-timing observations of a Three types of detectors have been designed to look for gravitational radiation, which is very weak.
Gravitational waves are 'ripples' in space-time caused by some of the most violent and energetic processes in the Universe.
The changes of curvature of space-time would correspond to a dilation in one direction and a contraction at right angles to that direction.
