I don't think there was any mention of gravity waves.
Bending of light by gravity is a result of the fact that light has finite speed and
that acceleration due to gravity is no different from acceleration due to
displacement of distance. The elevator illustration. No waves needed.

Indeed, Yuri. In the early 1900s, when an Austrian patent office clerk and amateur physicist theorized that photons (which have zero-mass and travel at the speed of light) were bent by gravity-waves, many recognized experts said it can't be and laughed.
Decades later, someone measured the time-interval of light from a more distant star passing behind a massive star and re-emerging.
The photon / gravity-wave theory was correct.

When measurements don't fit in with everything we already know, real scientists and engineers are trained to ask themselves:


"Is this something really new - am I really another Einstein? Or did I simply get it wrong?"
The question is simply: Is my HP-355 step-attenuator set intermittently off by 3db?
