Gravitational Waves
Albert Einstein, in his theory of General Relativity, proposed that Gravity is not just a force that attracts the object. Gravity is responsible for making ripples, called gravitational waves, in the spacetime fabric. These waves can be a great medium to unveil various things in space that we think don't exist. Let's dive deep into this topic and understand what exactly gravitational waves are and how they work. What Are Gravitational Waves? Two massive bodies creating ripples in spacetime fabric| Source : Scitechdaily.com Gravitational waves are invisible ripples or disturbances in spacetime fabric when objects move at very high speeds. But what are these ripples? The answer is directly linked to gravity. Gravity is a force that bends the spacetime curvature . Imagine that space is a rubber sheet and every massive object will cause that rubber sheet to bend. The larger the mass of the body, the larger the depression, and hence, the larger the gravitational pull. If every
