About a hundred
years ago,
Einstein predicted
the existence of gravitational waves,
but until now,
they were undetectable.

Scientists announce discovery
of clear gravitational wave signal,
ripples in spacetime
first predicted by Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein
used his newly discovered
general theory of relativity
(which implies that space itself
responds to the presence of
matter
by curving, expanding or contracting)
to demonstrate that each time
we wave our hands around
or move any matter,
disturbances in the fabric of space
propagate out at the speed of light,
as waves travel outward
when a rock is thrown into a lake.
As these gravitational waves
traverse space
they will literally cause
distances between objects
alternately to decrease and increase
in an oscillatory manner.
This, of course,
is far from the realm
of human experience.
In the absence of alcohol,
your living room doesn’t appear
to shrink and grow repeatedly.
But, in fact, it does.
