Imagine the universe is like a big trampoline. When you jump on it, it makes ripples. A black hole is like a super heavy ball in the middle of that trampoline, and when it moves or shakes, it makes really big waves called gravitational waves. These waves travel across space, just like how sound travels through air.
Examples
- Imagine throwing a stone into a pond, it makes ripples that spread out. A black hole is like the stone, but much bigger.
- Ripples in space are like the vibrations you feel when a big truck drives by, they move through everything.
