It might be possible to create gravitational waves in a lab
So far, everything I have read about gravitational waves and current detection methods suggest that space itself is quite inflexible, so it takes massive cosmic events like black holes merging to generate the &quot;earthquake&quot; which sends the &quot;tsunami&quot; of gravitational waves through space.<p>I&#x27;m hopeful this means with enhanced detection methods, we will soon be able to detect smaller and smaller ripples. Perhaps we can eventually measure the &quot;flexibility&quot; of local space to find changes in density which allow for easier warping. Shipping lanes in space, the dream of so many :)
