I would have to say that the question posed: "Can we harness gravitational waves and convert them to energy", is a bit misleading. Because first we have to define gravitational waves. One, she is not a physicist who specializes in particle physics of a specific wave type. Also, even if she were, all that she would be able to communicate is what her knowledge is relegated to. Although an intelligent scientist for sure, she would not be able to answer this question in the least. Also, calling it energy, for the purpose of propulsion, may need to be specified. Because what we call or see as energy, may not be what we should be asking. And harnesses may not be the word here. This may be a good question for guys like Bob Lazar and others like him. Yes, a bit fringe. But that shouldn't matter if a person can clearly explain and illustrate intelligible answers. It's like assuming a doctor knows everything about the human body. And, well, they don't. That's not their job. If you want meat and bones, you have to go where the meat and bones were seen last. God bless her! She means well.
God bless her heart that she has taken time to learn and tell us!
Thanks for the answer Sabrina!
Gf would know..
Interesting
I got a guy for that.
