You have to regularly shake the fabric of space-time it prevents tangling, reduces wrinkles, & speeds up drying
How will LISA capture gravitational waves?
When two black holes orbit each other, heading for a collision, they shake the fabric of space-time. The ripples alter the distance between objects.
LISA will use laser beams between 3️⃣ spacecraft that house free-floating cubes to detect these changes.

Let me remember the things I love
Stopping at the log where catfish bite
Walking along the river road at night
Barefoot girls dancing in the moonlight
I can hear the bullfrog calling me!
