Re: So . . . . .

Can someone educate me please?

If I dropped a pebble into a swimming pool, I would generate ripples that head outwards from a central point and eventually they 'disappear' once the energy has 'run out'..

How the buzz are we able to detect 'waves' generated over a billion years ago?
