Gravity Waves 101: Because You Can't Even

Gravity waves, the ripples in the fabric of spacetime, are like that one person in the office who just won't get on the bus. They're always late, they're always disrupting your flow, and you just wanna get to the punchline already.

So, here's the deal:

• The speed of light is like the office coffee machine, always running a little behind.
• Mass and energy are like coworkers who always have to be included in every meeting.
• And gravity waves? They're just the ones who always have to take a three-hour lunch because, you know, they're just that slow.

But seriously, folks, gravity waves are like the fabric of spacetime, and we're all stuck with it.
