"These waves, which are believed to stretch and squeeze space and time as they pass"

So the speed of light is not believed to be a constant, after all?

My head is spinning.

We're all going to come back to classical physics sooner or later. Picture yourself on safari on the Serengeti and you see both lion dung and elephant dung lying around on the ground: do you figure that some lions have been around and some elephants have been around too, or do you figure that some magical animal with properties of both lions AND elephants have been around??

Things like photons, black holes, gravity waves, dark matter, the "big bang" etc. etc. are going to be laughed at in future time. Nobody will believe anybody was ever stupid enough to believe in any of that stuff.
