Bert, you're not 'getting' the clear-cut distinction between gravity
and 'gravitational waves'.. the latter being more correctly defined as
*spatial acoustic pressure waves*. But don't feel bad, few in the
acedemic mainstream 'get' it either. oc

Anything that's in motion is causing a distortion in gravity. What if
anything in this universe is not in motion?

Isn't everything going every which way but lose?

An item such as our nearby and big old salty moon that's going around
our flat Earth is causing a great deal of gravity wave distortion, so
much so that some folks actually think Earth is a passive sphere.

Get it?

Passive gravity causes all things to become round in all directions,
whereas gravity distortions cause things to become somwhat less than
round in all directions. Being less than exactly round in all
directions is not exactly a good sign for the long haul.

What if an atom whasn't exactly round in all directions?
