Abstract
Torsion detection from totally skew symmetric torsion waves in the context of teleparallel gravity is discussed. A gedanken experiment to detect Cartan's contortion based on a circle of particles not necessarily spinning is proposed. It is shown that by making use of previous value of contortion at the surface of the Earth computed by Nitsch of a relative displacement of is obtained which is of the order of the gravitational wave of . Since LISA has been designed to work in the mHz regime this GW detector could be used for an indirect detection of torsion in .
