Well you see, gravity works outside time
That's why light cannot escape a black hole, but its gravity can
Colton Morgan
Because gravitational fields don't couple to themselves.....maybe.
Grayson Young
d'accord
can one say gravity is instantaneous since it's not bound to a single moment in time but all of them at once?
Nathan Howard
What do you mean by "affect"?
It affect itself in the sense that the equations are non-linear.

It does.
A linearized gravity, where stuff looks like Electrodynamics (which classically is not self-interacting at all), goes by

Time doesn't exist.
Jackson Long
You don't exist.
Brandon Long
It is.
Kayden Watson
It isnt instantaneous. If the sun completely vanished, the earth would keep orbiting it for ~8minutes
Ethan Ross
math friend here
tell me about gravitons and gravitinos
Isaiah Ross
Triggered hard were you? lol
Eli Carter
Why tho?
I think vanish is the wrong hypothetical to use. If it were to instantaneously become a black hole how long would it take for us to be drawn toward it? Is it still instantaneous or is it still 8 min
Christopher Harris
If this hypothetical black hole had the same mass of the sun, the orbit of earth wouldnt change at all. Any sudden change of the sun mass would effect earth at the speed of light (so after about 8min)
Lucas Brooks
Science can explain everything. Just believe.
Eli Phillips
Gravity is a curvature in time and space.
Anthony Miller
>what are gravitational waves?
Mason Cook
He wasn't wrong.
Dylan Ramirez
>look I know the lights travel distance from the sun to earth
So proud of you user! I'm glad you enrich us with your deep knowledge of the universe.
Justin Wright
user asked, I answered. It is not like I randomly spouted it out. user didnt know about it, so I told him. You know, not every post is for (You)
Parker Sanders
You're right. I apologize. It's just that sometimes I find myself so full of faggotry and retardation that I can't hold it back anymore, and that's when I lash out and fag up the place.
It won't happen again, user. I'm sorry.

If the sun were a black hole we'd orbit it the same as we do now. The only difference would be for things going inside the current radius of the sun.
