Warning: This page is for advanced users only! If you're not prepared to handle the intense mental strain of understanding gravity waves, please leave now and never come back.
Gravity waves are like the ocean of space-time, but without the ocean. They're like ripples in the fabric of reality, but not the fabric of reality, because that's a thing we're still working on.
But seriously, gravity waves are tiny distortions in the curvature of space-time caused by massive objects. They're like the universe's way of saying, "Hey, I'm still working on this whole 'time and space' thing, bear with me."
Because, you know, they're actually the key to unlocking faster-than-light travel. Just kidding, that's not a thing. Yet.
But in all seriousness, gravity waves are a thing of beauty. They're like the universe's way of saying, "Hey, I'm still experimenting with this whole ' gravity' thing, and I'm not done yet."
So, go ahead and try to wrap your head around it. We dare you.
