Per the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_wave https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_wave > Gravitational waves are not easily detectable. When they reach the Earth, they have a small amplitude with strain approximately 10^−21 "strain" being the unit-less measurement they use for gravitational wave. The ones we measured just now, if I'm reading this article right (https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/acdac6 https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/acdac6), are being reported as 2.4x10^-15. I can say that's a lot larger, but I can't tell you much else about what that means.
