Why? Both the electromagnetic wave and the gravitational wave obey the massless wave equation, for which there is the free parameter &quot;c&quot;. This parameter is the wave&#x27;s propagation speed in vacuum. But electromagnetism couples much more strongly with interstellar and intergalactic gas and dust than…</p><p><a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/0902.0573/">Paper and discussion history</a>.
