To experience that, you’d need to be so close to some very extreme event (neutron star merger for example) that you’d already be in desperate trouble, and a planet wouldn’t hold together. You could hypothetically experience something less i

The degree of engineering required to detect gravitational waves, level of precision, it’s both incredibly difficult technically, and very expensive. Unless you’re looking to detect gravitational waves we would have no reason to engage in

I have no idea what that site is, or who those people are, but I agree with them. I also have to say that I’m in for anything Braga cares to bring; he’s a real talent, a true Trek fan, and a genuinely decent guy. Some of the best TNG eps we
