Hmmmm...Good question!...Might need molly to answer that properly.
The intensity [peak and trough] of gravitational radiation does fall off fairly quickly, and if gravitational radiation pases through matter, it will stretch and elongate that matter in line with the intensity of the wave.
My guess is that gravity waves are neither absorbed and/or reflected, by intervening matter.

My guess is your right about absorption/reflection. I'll either figure out what is bugging me or simply cancel out a bunch of dead ends. *shrug*

One more question that might have an answer of interest. Is there a conceivable method(even an entirely artificial hypothetical concept) or scenario that would amplify gravity waves?
