Great Question! Gravity has some strange and mysterious properties causing it to distort space time as it propagates. Everything with mass creates gravitational waves but for the vast majority of objects create waves to small to be noticeable. The gravitational waves we have been measuring are created when two black holes fall into each other. Before combining the two black holes (known as a binary black hole) will rapidly spin around each other creating some of the largest space-time disturbances we know of. Ironically, here on Earth we still require super sensitive equipment to detect these distortions.

thank you. So it is possible when 1 hole falls into another ? or it is hypothetic ?
Yep. If you look at the picture I replied with earlier it is depicting two black holes right before they collide/fall into each other.
thanks :)
