Ask a physicist but as far as I understood gravitational waves are dents in spacetime[0] and as they travel their energy, momentum, and angular momentum change

Ask a physicist but as far as I understood gravitational waves are dents in spacetime[0] and as they travel their energy, momentum, and angular momentum change over time because of interaction and collision with other "stuff" in space. Idk how you can measure any of that.

- galaxyLogic 5y agoIs there a simple way to explain what a "dent in spacetime" means? How can it be measured. I don't doubt that science and you all are right, I'm only asking questions in the hope that there is a simple explanation that would make a light-bulb go off in my head.
