So I created an account here just so I could ask this burning question. I keep looking online and through other resources but can't really find any details on this. Apologize if I didn't post on the right forum.
So I know gravitational waves are still being studied and as far as I know any ones that reach us would be exceedingly benign and hard to detect.
But let's say that 2 black holes or 2 neutron stars collided just close enough to the Earth to allow some fresh, massive gravitational waves to each us.
Would I be able to feel those gravitational waves? If so, would it be strong enough to kill me? Or would I feel anything weird as they propagate through me? Or would I not even "notice" it? And would everything I see in front of me ripple back and forth as space/time is being rippled?
