Question 1 of 10
1. Question
2 pointsChoose the false statement about ‘Gravitational waves’?
Correct
Gravitational waves are disturbances in the curvature of space-time (invisible), generated by accelerated masses, that propagate as waves outward from their source at the speed of light.
The announcement by the LIGO and VIRGO collaborations of direct detection of gravitational waves confirms one of Einstein’s major predictions, nearly one hundred years since it was made. Einstein submitted his paper with the correct equations of general relativity on November 25th 1915, and by June of 1916 he had already submitted a paper exploring the possible existence of gravitational waves. Something that is impossible in Newtonian theory.Incorrect
