ABSTRACT

   According to the announcement of LIGO, the gravitational wave has been confirmed, although Einstein was not sure whether the gravitational wave exists. According to the linearized equation, Einstein claimed the existence of the gravitational wave, but he later also discovered that his equation does not have the gravitational wave solution. Thus, Einstein was puzzled because he did not know that, for the dynamic case, the linearized equation and the Einstein equation are independent equations because the former has bounded dynamic solutions, but the latter does not. Thus, to have a gravitational wave solution generated by mass, one must modify his equation into the Lorentz-Levy-Einstein equation, whose exact form remains to be investigated. Moreover, the gravitation can also be generated from charges. Thus, an experimental verifiable gravitational wave can be generated on earth from a capacitor that is connected with an alternative electric potential.
