do gravity waves die under own gravity?
do gravity waves get distorted passing gravitational sources? i assume they must do, but gravity itself does not. if so their calculations must get extremely complex extremely quickly when waves interact with each other AND gravity itself. if so, wouldn't gravity waves fall aprt under their own gravity, as peaks traveled slower than troughs, due to higher temporal distortion on peaks?![Bug Eye :bugeye: :bugeye:](https://www.physicsforums.com/styles/physicsforums/xenforo/smilies/oldschool/bugeye.gif)
