Abstract
We have previously discussed the characteristics of the gravitational waves (GW) and have, theoretically, shown that, like the corresponding electromagnetic (EM) waves, they also demonstrate, under certain conditions, holographic properties. In this work we have expanded this discussion and show that the assumed gravitational holographic images may, theoretically, be related to another property of GW’s which is their possible relation to singular (or nonsingular) trapped surfaces. We also show that this possibility may be, theoretically, related even to weak GW’s.
