Thanks. What mechanism would cause the gravity waves?
I ask because there is a controversial theory that the universe actually consists of a number of interacting fields. They’ve always been there. What we observe as matter, time etc are the result of those fields.
Yes, but black holes are an accretion of matter, that as far as we know is locked away until it evaporates. For there to be a net increase in overall matter due to gravitational waves there’d need to be either another source of waves (as in the field theory) or the waves would have to produce matter at a rate in violation of E=mc^2+C (which could be wrong)
The original Big Bang also violates conservation of energy.
For the moment this is just a shower thought. More work would have to be done along these lines.
Generally conservation of energy applies in a closed system, so wouldn’t apply at the creation of the system.
(Plus we can’t (yet) be sure what caused the Big Bang if it happened)
I’ve always liked the idea that matter, space and time are the way we observe the interactions of fields. So gravity waves make an interesting idea as to how part of it might work
Did you know there is some evidence that our brains are apparently aware of certain events before they actually happen. This isn’t supernatural but possible evidence of something going on outside of the space time we are familiar with. Or that time is not a straightforward arrow in one direction.
Excuse my ignorance but what is CMB?
Cosmological Microwave Background

There is already a link in my post for one big source of gravitational waves

@FelipeFelop @A_A
I’m not an expert but pulsars do this I think. Stars spinning around each other sending ripples through space time.
Those mostly create magnetic and electomagnetic radiation. Some are also magnetars
@A_A
Black holes spinning?
Those black holes allow the Penrose process which is somewhat similar to what I am talking about here.
Pulsars are made of matter, which runs into the how did it all start problem (if there was no big bang to create the matter)
