I Gravitational field modulation of a moving mass

AI Thread Summary
A moving mass generates a wavelength, leading to questions about the modulation of its gravitational field. When a mass oscillates, it emits gravitational waves, indicating a relationship between movement and gravitational field changes. If the mass moves uniformly over an infinite time, its wavelength becomes infinite, resulting in a frequency of zero. This phenomenon parallels electromagnetic waves, where direct current through a coil produces similar effects. The discussion highlights the intricate connection between mass movement and gravitational field modulation.

If a mass is moving it has a wavelength - my question is, is the gravitational field of the mass then modulated accordingly ?

If a mass is made to move backwards and forwards then it emits gravitational waves, yes.

And if the mass has been and will be moving uniformly for infinite time then the wavelength will be infinite and the frequency content of the wave will be zero. It's the same as for the EM wave when DC passes through a coil.
 

Thread 'Mechanism of Energy Conservation in Zero-Amplitude Sum of EM Waveforms'

Assume that this is a case where by sheer coincidence, two sources of coherent single-frequency EM wave pulses with equal duration are both fired in opposing directions, with both carrying the same frequency and amplitude and orientation. These two waves meet head-on while moving in opposing directions, and their phases are precisely offset by 180 degrees so that each trough of one wave meets with the crest of the other. This should be true for both the electric and magnetic components of...
