The bigger the mass,

the deeper the depression and the stronger the gravity.
39
127604

02:10
When the mass making the depression moves, that sends out ripples in space-time.

But this happens on such a minute scale that we can't feel any of it.

And they're not the only ones.
55

There are gravitational wave detectors spread across the world.
