    Gravitational waves are vibrations in space-time created by massive objects like black holes orbiting each other. As the black holes orbit, they stretch and squeeze space-time like children on a trampoline, sending out gravitational waves. These waves pass through everything but are extremely weak, making them very difficult to detect. When two black holes merge, they produce powerful gravitational waves that ripple outward across the universe.

    What is Gravitational Wave?

    The theory, put simply, states that space and time curve in the presence of mass, and that this curvature
    produces the effect known as gravity. When two black holes orbit each other, they stretch and squeeze
    space-time like children running in circles on a trampoline, creating vibrations that travel to the very
    edge; these vibrations are gravitational waves. They pass through us all the time, from sources across the
    universe, but because gravity is so much weaker than the other fundamental forces of nature
    electromagnetism, for instance, or the interactions that bind an atom togetherwe never sense them.
