Abstract

Gravitational waves are an interesting but complex topic in the field of physics. Unfortunately, they are also challenging for people without a physics background to fully appreciate. The concept itself is highly specialised, so most of the sources you find on gravitational waves cover something specific that one would need a lot of background knowledge to understand. For this reason, simple diction has been used to introduce general relativity, spacetime, the causes of gravitational waves and their real-world applications. After reading this paper, readers will feel confident enough to dive deeper and explore gravitational waves further.
