minus-squaredavidgro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·4 months agoChanges in the gravitational field definitely travel, and do so at the speed of light. Look up LIGO
minus-squareAlk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 months agoIf it didn’t travel, it wouldn’t take 8 minutes to stop right?
minus-squarecuerdo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·4 months agoIf the mass vanishes, then the gravity would also vanish, at the same time.
minus-squarechuckleslord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·4 months agoFalse. If the mass vanished via magic, the effect would ripple out at the speed of light. Source, gravity waves which move at the speed of light.
minus-squarecuerdo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·4 months agoBut vanishing is magic, it goes against the laws of physics, so you could apply any fictional logic
