According to general relativity theory, compact concentrations of energy (e.g., neutron stars and black holes) should warp spacetime strongly, and whenever such an energy concentration changes shape, it should create a dynamically changing spacetime warpage that propagates out through the Universe at the speed of light. This propagating warpage is called gravitational radiation — a name that arises from general relativity's description of gravity as a consequence of spacetime warpage.
