What is it about?
In the article it was shown, that from the Newton’s law of gravitation resulted an existence of gravitational waves very similar to these, which result from the General Theory of Relativity. Presented analysis shows that “gravitational wave”, calculated on the basis of GTR, is not in fact a wave understood as a carrier of gravity. This is a normal modulation (i.e. cyclic change) of the gravitational field intensity caused by the motion of two rotating bodies. This is evidenced by the fact that frequency of the “gravitational wave” resulting from GTR is closely related to the frequency of rotating bodies (for two bodies the frequency of “gravitational wave” is twice as high as the frequency of rotating bodies).

Why is it important?
The most important conclusion from this article is that from the General Theory of Relativity (GTR) do not result any gravitational waves, but just ordinary modulation of the gravitational field intensities caused by rotating of bodies.
Perspectives
Criticism of results published by the LIGO team was also presented. The presented research opens the way to a correct understanding of the modulation of the gravitational field intensity, today incorrectly called a gravitational wave.
