Gravity waves are very weakly absorbed.
The gravity wave detectors have so far detected 3 events of gravity wave emission: 2 from black hole pairs and 1 from neutron star pair.
The absorption is weak but the detectors are very sensitive.
How much energy did the gravity wave detectors actually absorb from the gravity waves that propagated through Earth?
The frequency was low, peak something like 250 Hz, and therefore graviton energy low. How many quanta of gravity waves did the 3 detections consist of?
