Does wormhole create gravitational wave?

I've seen many sci-fi that they said wormhole could be detected by its gravitational wave ?
Does wormhole actually create gravitational wave ?
And how could a pair of black hole spinning around each other create such thing as gravity wave ?
I am sorry for lacking knowledge about general relativity.

Gravity waves are created when masses move around. You're creating gravity waves every time you wiggle your fingers, although they are too weak to be detected by any imaginable instrument even in the same room, far less at astronomical distances. However, two neutron stars or black holes in a tight orbit are so massive and moving so quickly and in such a regular way that we have a chance of detecting the resulting gravitational radiation.

The stable wormhole solutions to the equations of general relativity probably do not exist in the real world (they would require weird stuff like exotic matter with negative mass) so there's only so far we can go thinking about them. If they did exist, and if they moved enough mass quickly enough, there would be detectable gravitational radiation.

Thanks for your help.
 
Thread 'Can this experiment break Lorentz symmetry?'
1. The Big Idea: According to Einstein’s relativity, all motion is relative. You can’t tell if you’re moving at a constant velocity without looking outside. But what if there is a universal “rest frame” (like the old idea of the “ether”)? This experiment tries to find out by looking for tiny, directional differences in how objects move inside a sealed box. 2. How It Works: The Two-Stage Process Imagine a perfectly isolated spacecraft (our lab) moving through space at some unknown speed V...
Does the speed of light change in a gravitational field depending on whether the direction of travel is parallel to the field, or perpendicular to the field? And is it the same in both directions at each orientation? This question could be answered experimentally to some degree of accuracy. Experiment design: Place two identical clocks A and B on the circumference of a wheel at opposite ends of the diameter of length L. The wheel is positioned upright, i.e., perpendicular to the ground...
According to the General Theory of Relativity, time does not pass on a black hole, which means that processes they don't work either. As the object becomes heavier, the speed of matter falling on it for an observer on Earth will first increase, and then slow down, due to the effect of time dilation. And then it will stop altogether. As a result, we will not get a black hole, since the critical mass will not be reached. Although the object will continue to attract matter, it will not be a...
