I Gravitational field modulation of a moving mass

Click For Summary
A moving mass generates a wavelength, leading to questions about the modulation of its gravitational field. When a mass oscillates, it emits gravitational waves, indicating a relationship between movement and gravitational field changes. If the mass moves uniformly over an infinite time, its wavelength becomes infinite, resulting in a frequency of zero. This phenomenon parallels electromagnetic waves, where direct current through a coil produces similar effects. The discussion highlights the intricate connection between mass movement and gravitational field modulation.

If a mass is moving it has a wavelength - my question is, is the gravitational field of the mass then modulated accordingly ?

If a mass is made to move backwards and forwards then it emits gravitational waves, yes.

And if the mass has been and will be moving uniformly for infinite time then the wavelength will be infinite and the frequency content of the wave will be zero. It's the same as for the EM wave when DC passes through a coil.
 

Thread 'Gravitational effects of a small black hole passing your body'

Abstract The gravitational effects of a Primordial Black Hole (PBH) passing through the human body are examined, with the goal of determining the minimum mass necessary to produce significant injury or death. Two effects are examined: The damage caused by a shock wave propagating outward from the black hole trajectory, and the dissociation of brain cells from tidal forces produced by the black hole on its passage through the human body. It is found that the former is the dominant effect...
