New ways to catch gravitational waves

Any physicists in here that could layout a path of going from rudimentary first year level physics knowledge to being able to understand on a deeper level topics such as gravitational waves?

These articles are interesting but are very abstract when you do not have knowledge from first principles.

I’m a scientist who works on LIGO and next generation detectors and I don’t have a deep knowledge of the physics behind gravitational waves either! But realistically you should pick up some lecture notes on general relativity: https://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/tong/gr.html
