But how can you measure the meterstick when the gravity wave passes it. So you say that the space-time distortion does affect the atomic forces. This could make sense and can explain the stress at atomic level. At least that I understand. Thanks.

Hi, I have a question about a fact that I did't understand, and all the world takes this as it is: How can the space-time distortion, generated by gravitational waves, can be measured? All scientist say that the space is stretched and squeezed, but how much means that, because 1 meter stretched...
