Gravitational waves can be derived from the non-linear Einstein field equations and since they are by definition waves they must obey the wave equation: $u_{tt}=c^{2}u_{xx}$ but in General Rela...

Suppose we have a gravitational wave which obeys the equation: $[G_{tt}-c^{2}G_{xx}]h_{\mu\nu}=0$ Lets take the case where $h_{\mu\nu}\ne0$ so we are left with the classical wave equation.Suppose...
