Does gravity affect waves such as gamma, xray, radio etc. and how does it interact with other wave forms considering gravity is a wave itself.
Respectfully,

Orodruin said:Yes, gravity affects EM waves.
No, gravity is not a wave.
Yes, this does not mean that gravity is a wave. Just as EM waves do not mean an electric field is a wave or waves on the surface of a pond mean that the surface is a wave.hagar said:I have read in the last few months that gravitational waves have finally been proven to exist.
Gravity is a fundamental force in the universe that causes objects with mass to be attracted to one another. It is the force that keeps planets in orbit around the sun and objects on Earth from floating away into space.
Gravity works by creating a force field around objects with mass. The more massive an object is, the stronger its gravitational pull. This force field causes objects to be pulled towards each other, resulting in the phenomenon we know as gravity.
Wave forms are patterns of oscillation or vibration that can travel through a medium, such as air or water. They can be described by their wavelength, frequency, and amplitude, and are a fundamental aspect of many natural phenomena, including sound and light.
Gravity and wave forms can interact in a few different ways. One example is gravitational waves, which are disturbances in the fabric of space-time caused by the acceleration of massive objects. These waves can carry energy and information across vast distances, and they were first predicted by Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Currently, there is no known way to manipulate or control gravity. However, scientists are constantly studying and researching ways to understand and harness the power of gravity. Some theories suggest that with advanced technology, it may be possible to manipulate gravity in the future, but this is still purely speculative.
