So even if they're a little hard to understand, gravity waves can be lifesavers.

因此，即使它们有点难以理解，重力波也是救命稻草。

What I'd like to know is: How does this gravity wave breakthrough help the man on the street?

引力波的发现怎么能帮助一个平凡的路人呢?

When they finally collide, they send gravity waves through space-time like ripples from a stone thrown into a calm lake.

最终在它们相撞的时候，它们在时空中会发出重力波，就像扔进平静湖中的石头所产生的涟漪那样。

You have probably seen the result of gravity waves  affecting clouds too.

您可能也见过重力波影响云层的结果。

Gravity waves are called this because gravity is the restoring force here that is essentially working to flatten the waves back down into a flat plane.

重力波之所以被称为重力波，是因为重力是这里的恢复力，它的作用本质上是将波浪重新压成一个平面。

The scientist who  captured this timelapse said that here, gravity waves were moving through an inversion, underneath  an elevated region of instability.

捕捉到这个延时摄影的科学家说，在这里，重力波正在一个高不稳定区域下方通过反转移动。

An aging neutron star's furious rotation slows over a period of billions of years as it radiates away its energy in the form of electromagnetic and gravity waves.

一颗老化的中子星以电磁波和重力波的形式辐射能量，在数十亿年的时间里，其剧烈的自转速度变慢了。

However, there could be other reasons, such as  horizontal wind shear; convection, which is the exchange of matter or temperature between fluid  bodies; or atmospheric gravity waves.

然而，可能还有其他原因， 例如水平风切变；对流，即流体之间的物质或温度交换；或大气重力波。

The gravity waves moving through the inversion  created enough lift that a strong updraft was formed and it moved in phase with the peak of the  gravity wave.

通过反转的重力波产生了足够的升力，形成了强大的上升气流，并且与重力波的峰值同相移动。

A gravity wave occurs at the border between  one fluid and another, when a force upsets the equilibrium and gravity tries to restore  it, which produces a back-and-forth movement, or wave orbit.

当一种力破坏平衡并且重力试图恢复平衡时，重力波会发生在一种流体和另一种流体之间的边界，从而产生来回运动或波轨道。
