## Key findings

- Gravitational radiation concept parallels electromagnetic radiation.
- Historical development of gravitational wave theory.
- Fundamental differences between photons and hypothetical gravitons.

## Abstract

The notion of gravitational radiation begins with electromagnetic radiation. In 1887 Heinrich Hertz, working in one room, generated and received electromagnetic radiation. Maxwell's equations describe the electromagnetic field. The quanta of electromagnetic radiation are spin 1 photons. They are fundamental to atomic physics and quantum electrodynamics.
