I was trying to think about what would happen when a gravitational wave
with the power of 3 solar masses went through a planet in what would be only a few milliseconds -
43 milliseconds for our earth -
as it's traveling at the speed of light.
I have a feeling it would cause a giant earthquake? -
but I can't quite prove it.
Maybe the pulse is too quick to do anything?
I hadn't thought about radiation yet - would there be a burst of radiation?
Maybe the black holes would direct all the radiation inwards?
I wish Prof. Jerome Gauntlett would have gone into a bit more detail.
