  • massi liikumisega kaasnev aegruumi võnge, mis levib tekkeallikast lainekujulisena
  • ripple in the curvature of spacetime that propagates as a wave at the speed of light, generated in certain gravitational interactions that propagate outward from their source
    Good to know
    • Not to be confused with a gravity wave [ IATE:1154601 ](which is a wave driven by the force of gravity). Reference: 'What is a gravitational wave?', Physics.org, http://www.physics.org/article-questions.asp?id=138
gravitatsioonilaine
Usage examples
  • Gravitatsioonilained oleks meie jaoks tasase aegruumi kõverdused. Parem on seda selgitada järgmiselt: kui ühemeetrise läbimõõduga kera läbiks hiljuti mõõdetust miljard korda tugevam gravitatsioonilaine, siis näeme, et üheks hetkeks on ühes suunas selle kera läbimõõt kasvanud aatomi läbimõõdu võrra, teises suunas aatomi läbimõõdu võrra vähenenud.
gravitational wave
Usage examples
  • For the first time, scientists have observed ripples in the fabric of spacetime called gravitational waves, arriving at the earth from a cataclysmic event in the distant universe. This confirms a major prediction of Albert Einstein’s 1915 general theory of relativity and opens an unprecedented new window onto the cosmos.
