 I was just reading the other day that some satellite (Hubble I think)
 has found variations in the background radiation of the universe.
 Now, some astro-physicists would like to take this as strong evidence
 for the inhomogenity of the early universe, whereas others take the
 variations to be a result of the gravitational waves created during
 the inflationary period of the universe.
                              Now, the question I want to ask is this:
 Could not the gravitational waves have actually caused the 
 inhomogenities in the first place? If an area of space is compressed
 by a gravitational wave, surely this area is more dense than the 
 surrounding areas? If not, why not?
