really? :-) so this link is your link: http://www.lightandmatter.com/html_books/genrel/ch09/ch09.html ...:woot:...that's where I found that Gravitational Waves does not follow energy conservation...that Gravitational waves does not transmit energy...:biggrin: Since that's your book, then I...

Ben: Thanks again. Let me do more study. The first impression I got from your answer seems to be that because it has energy so that it has mass. I can accept that as long as it does contain energy like EM does...I believe there must be energy since you said so :)...it is very complicated issue...

Ben: Thanks so much for your very quick response...However, it is easy for me to accept the other theory but hard to accept that Gravitational Waves could carry energy since space-time does NOT have any MASS, where would it's energy be stored if it does carry energy? Thanks Ron

Hi Ben, I have one more issue about what you said because as I read from online that Gravitational Waves only adds or extracts energy from the system but does NOT carry energy by itself since spacetime does not contain energy itself... Would you agree with that? Thanks Ron

Hi Ben, Thanks again for your response. First of all, my apology of confusion on how the system works here. I don't really care which level it is marked...I guess what caused me to mark it as highest was trying to get attention from senior member like you. I guess it worked :). But now I...

Hi bcrowell, First of all, thanks a lot for your response! Second of all, I accept your suggestion of "By the way, could you please refrain from using bold face for long blocks of text? It gives the impression that you're shouting." Third of all, what you quoted in your response was not given...

I was told that there are two kinds gravitational waves. One dies out as 1/r, another one dies out as 1/r^2. The former is what LIGO detected, the latter is not. While I trust the professional qualification of the person very much, as a non-physics professional, I would like to a second person...

Simon: Thanks a lot for your very kind response. I like the link very much which is helpful. However, I did not get explanation from that link about what I mentioned in my first post. Here is the context of the conversation that I mentioned in last post: MY POST: As a non-physics...

G-Waves is a buzzword recently :) At the beginning I thought G-waves as the propagation of the changes of the curvature caused by a mass when the status of the mass (e.g. value or location) changes...But moment ago, I was told that G-waves are different from the waves that transmitting the...
