Gravitational waves, they are nothing but a ripple in the space-time, which propagates as waves outwards from their source at the speed of light. It also transports "gravitational radiation" which is similar to the electromagnetic radiation present in earth. Gravitational waves were first proposed by Henri Poincaré and later predicted by Albert Einstein. So you might be wondering what is this so called "Gravitational waves", they are ripples in space-time. A gravitational waves gets created whenever masses (bodies having mass) accelerates. Any and all body which has mass creates gravitational waves but to detect a gravitational waves, there must be the bodies with huge masses. So what are the changes it makes for us you ask? Well there are two changes :- For humans - For us humans, detection of gravitational waves now allows a better study of black holes. Cosmic change - Gravitational waves on cosmic level creates a huge change. It bends and stretches spa...
1. Black Holes Black holes, spacial body with the greatest gravitational force known to mankind. Basically, black hole is a region with so much gravitational force that even light (unable to reflect) gets trapped in it. According to the scientists, black holes has such strong gravity because large amounts of matter has been squeezed in one place. Since light can't reflect against a black hole, it is impossible to see or take a picture of black hole. Scientists believe that when a star dies, all its mass gets squeezed in one place to form a black hole which, according to the "Theory of General Relativity" is able to bend the space time. Due to the high gravitational force, black holes engulfs it's surroundings thus in spite being invisible, scientists figure out the presence of a black hole by looking at the surroundings where huge amount of light (formed by the pulling of matter into the black hole) is formed in a swirling way. 2. Wormholes Wormholes, a...
