Where did the idea of gravitational waves come from?

So Einstein’s chilling in 1916 and goes:
"What if gravity isn’t a force, but just geometry?"
And everyone’s like:
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
And he’s like:
"Yeah, stuff doesn’t move because it’s pulled, it moves because space-time curves like a drunk-ass road."
And then he’s like:
"If something massive moves, it should send ripples through that messed-up geometry. "

I think even if we have it- it's always consequences. As example becoming old faster if you inside a bubble;)

I wonder if in the future we could possibly manipulate space enough to manipulate gravity itself to our whim, by changing space-time precisely. Also makes me remember a concept of a work drive by making a bubble in space-time, letting you travel faster than light through the universe, because you're not actually traveling anywhere, the space that you're in is

Haha noted;)
