Okay so with LIGO we now know the wave form of gravity and that it is in facft a wave
okay some of these deep space objects have huge gravity fields(lightin my analogy) so seeing as gravity is a wave could we make a interference pattern for gravity. i imagine if you could there would be areas of no gravity and high gravity like when they do the double slit experiment with a laser.
would a gravity 'laser' be antigravity?

A GAZER -gravity amplification.
The field distortions do not have a negative value, only positive.
I did not expect to see that the "strain" goes negative.
No worries. Albert doubted it would be detectable at all.
I would not like to experience it

Strain is longitudinal pressure on the rod.
When the rod gets longer due to the distortion of space the strain goes negative, the ends are farther apart. When it gets shorter the strain goes positive. It is not a gravitational effect, it is a mechanical effect caused by the change in the shape of space.
No. Experiencing a change in distance. While a change in frequency may be an effect, it seems that distance (in space) is what is measured. The speed of light is not relative.
experiencing red-shifting
The math is beyond me. The concept I can grasp.
The crash is measured, not the rotation of those stellar objects. Right?
The trough (or peak) of the wave. I'm not sure which.
Where does the positive ampitude come from?
Thus "strain" is a theoretical value based on the change in distance (space) between endpoints.
BTW: I think there is no physical rod, but a laserimpuls reflected and interferentially measured to 10^-21 cm in length difference.

It is not anti-gravity, but a rapid change in gravity caused by some huge masses undergoing extreme accelerations. As Phage said, there is no "pushing" involved. It is a changing "pulling" from those masses.
