Gravitational Waves Explained

The inflationary universe theory suggests that gravitational waves permeate the cosmos, altering gravitational forces experienced by objects. The groundbreaking detection of these waves in 2015, resulting from colliding black holes, highlighted the conversion of mass into gravitational energy. This phenomenon not only deepens our understanding of the universe's origins but also influences the cosmic Microwave background radiation, revealing intricate patterns that scientists strive to decode.
