To demonstrate the physical reality of gravitational waves, consider the example system of the previous section. We will concentrate our attention on three of the test masses, one chosen arbitrarily from the plane, along with its nearest neighbors in the +x and +y directions. Imagine that we have equipped the mass at the vertex of this “L” with a lamp that can be made to emit very brief pulses of light. Imagine also that the two masses at the ends of the “L” are fitted with mirrors aimed so that they will return the flashes of light back toward the vertex mass. In 1916, the year after the final formulation of the field equations of general relativity, Albert Einstein predicted the existence of gravitational waves. He found that the linearized weak-field equations had wave solutions: transverse waves of spatial strain that travel at the speed of light, generated by time variations of the mass quadrupole moment of the source [1,2]. Einstein understood that gravitational-wave amplitudes would be remarkably small; moreover, until the Chapel Hill conference in 1957 there was significant debate about the physical reality of gravitational waves [3] The Child of General Relativity.

One the explanations was a non-instantaneous propagation of gravity, affecting the binary system (abandoned because its speed would be too large to be measurable to explain the effect). .
