Gravity can create waves in space??

So that right there is like incredibly wild and they spread out just like ripples in a pond when you throw a stone in them which is so cool. So a couple of things that can cause a gravitational wave is when a star explodes which is otherwise known as a supernova, when two big entities such as big stars orbit each other like neutron stars or when two black holes orbit each other and merge which is really cool

It's always interesting to me, like, when you look at the Cosmos, is it just a mind exercise or is there any way to bring it back to your own little life Besides going into it as a study? I always wonder, like, okay, how is my next moment in life going to be different? Because I know these crazy facts about the universe. So I posted, I posed that here. Thanks

That's a really good point. I noticed one thing that happened for me when I started studying, like, astrophysics and things in astronomy was that it did send me into a kind of like an existential crisis, you know, because I really realized that I was just one cog in a universal machine, and I was kind of stressing about stuff that wasn't really that important
