What is another word for gravity wave?
Pronunciation: [ɡɹˈavɪti wˈe͡ɪv] (IPA) 
A gravity wave is a type of wave that propagates through space-time, caused by the acceleration of massive objects. Its synonyms can include gravitational wave, gravitational ripple, space-time wave, or curvature wave. These waves were first predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity in 1916 and were finally detected in 2015 by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) team. Gravity waves are important because they provide a new way to observe the universe and test our understanding of gravity. Scientists are now looking to detect more gravity waves and use them to study everything from black holes and neutron stars to the very earliest moments after the big bang.
