Love Waves are a type of gravitational wave that occur when massive objects, like black holes or neutron stars, collide or merge. These waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime, created by the acceleration of these massive bodies. Scientists can detect them using sensitive instruments like LIGO and Virgo, which measure tiny changes in distance caused by passing waves. The term "Love Waves" can also refer to a specific type of seismic wave, named after the British mathematician A.E.H. Love. These waves travel along the surface of the Earth during an earthquake, causing horizontal ground movement. They are slower than P-waves and S-waves, but can be very damaging due to their surface effects.
