The general theory of relativity states that any object with mass warps spacetime around itself. If the object moves in any way, these warps in space-time expand and contract, creating a waveform and generating what are known as gravitational waves.

  • The general theory of relativity states that any object with mass warps spacetime around itself. If the object moves in any way, these warps in space-time expand and contract, creating a waveform and generating what are known as gravitational waves.
  • In physics, a gravitational wave is a fluctuation in the curvature of spacetime which propagates as a wave, traveling outward from a moving object or system of objects. Gravitational radiation is the energy transported by these waves. Important examples of systems which emit gravitational waves are binary star systems, where the two stars in the binary are white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes.

Gravitational radiation is the energy transported by these waves. Important examples of systems which emit gravitational waves are binary star systems, where the two stars in the binary are white dwarfs, neutron stars, or black holes. Although gravitational radiation has not yet been directly detected, it has been indirectly shown to exist. This was the basis for the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physics, awarded for measurements of the Hulse-Taylor binary system.
