What is a gravitational wave?

"Surely :-

 

This is all coming back to the difference of 'things ' in nature . ( Nature of Things . De rerum natura. Lucretius )

 

Firstly . Things that have Mass that are subject to a certain type of laws , and a whole range of values of moving criteria. Which might well be subject to the 'medium' they move in.

 

Secondly . Things that are Effects like quantum's of energy, forces, packets of energy , that move at the fixed speed of light / EM . ( namely 'c' ) . Which themselves are 'medium less '.

 

These are described in the standard model as distinct different entities. Are they not ?

Two different atomic entities . Different types

2 . Fermion .

Simple comparison of two sorts of ' entities ' ( spin and characteristic )

Fundamental difference in Fermions and Bosons ( division of entities in the standard model )

It is like looking at a wonderful landscape. It is another world to explore. I'm going to do it. Bosons - force carriers all words that seem so interesting.

Cheers for the lift.
