Hi Everyone, my first post here.
I'm really confused by the comments around the recent LIGO gravitational waves discovery and how it connects to Einsteins gravitational model. My understanding is that he said a body warped spacetime around it forming a gravitational well into which other bodies would 'fall into'. This relies entirely on the topography of spacetime with no force carrying particles or waves needed for this model.
Can anyone explain please?
Thanks!
