There are different types of ripple effects. Like the familiar plunking of a pebble into a calm pond, for example. Some events have a ripple effect upon our entire planet, like a pandemic. Then there are the ripple effects detected by NSF LIGO on 14 September 2015. None of us felt them but they were massive, galactic sized gravitational waves generated by two colliding black holes 1.3 billion light years away. This work is related to Effects of a Black Hole on the Fabric of Space-Time and Matter Versus Antimatter. Like those pieces, it uses the vocabulary of formalist painting and joinery techniques in a poetic interpretation of how some fundamental laws of physics govern our universe.
