Imagine you're jumping on a trampoline, each jump makes the surface wiggle. Gravity waves are like that, but in space. When big things like black holes or stars crash into each other, they shake the fabric of the universe, sending out ripples that we can feel far away.
Examples
- Two black holes crash into each other like two boulders hitting a trampoline.
- The universe vibrates as gravity waves pass through it, like the sound of thunder after lightning.
