minus-squarePiJiNWiNg@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 months agoThank you very much for the thought out explanation, i think im beginning to grasp the concept. To summarize to make sure: accelerating mass causes gravitational waves two bodies orbiting eachother are also accelerating towards eachother by virtue of centripetal force. the energy to generate this wave is stripped directly from the kinetic energy of the system, causing the orbit to decay. So the comparison to atoms releasing EM energy is a bit more apt then I initially thought. Thanks again!
