Gravitational Waves Explained: Brian Cox in Discussion with Nobel Laureate Kip Thorne.

Brian Cox and Nobel laureate Kip Thorne talk about gravitational waves. Kip explains that gravitational waves are essentially ripples in space that cause it to stretch and squeeze. As these waves move through space, they stretch it in one direction and compress it in the other, and then the pattern reverses.
He goes on to say that these waves are produced by incredibly massive events, like the collision of black holes, where huge amounts of mass accelerate dramatically. Kip also hopes that in the future, we might detect gravitational waves from the very birth of the universe, which would open up a whole new window into our cosmic history.

Waw!! Amazing!!👏👏And to think we are just mammals thinking about profound truths like this!!❤️

A Gravitational Wave is actually when you're on Shore and you're waving enthusiastically at first to a loved one departing on a Cruise a very slow Cruise Ship and your arm gets heavier.

Could it be used for future space travel?

So the galaxies disappearing from us at the edge of the observable universe, as space expands faster than the speed of light - are they riding the ripples or gravitational waves from the Big Bang?

What characteristic of space can be stretched and squeezed? This just sounds like a description of sound waves, which involves changes in air pressure.

A gravitational wave is produced between your mind and your eyelids when you wink

Here comes my wrench smart guys ...
If the denser an area, the slower time space passes by, then why are we not speaking of light slowed down to a complete stop? Why are we not mentioning that time space fluctuates in an entanglement of density fields?

Drops 🎤

Transfer of hot and cold or temp changes upon mass in the voids of space over time 😂

[willydoituc]

And these are the smart ones? A damn shame

Two black holes will never meet unless two universes touch at a point where both universes had a black hole. Instantly touching as opposed to spinning around for billions of years.

These statements are based on the false assumption that gravity is an attractive force. It is easily demonstrated that what we assume as gravitational attraction is in fact a repulsive force partially blocked by mass.
