minus-square@cuerdolinkEnglish-1•5 hours agoIf the mass vanishes, then the gravity would also vanish, at the same time.
minus-square@chuckleslordlinkEnglish2•4 hours 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-square@cuerdolinkEnglish1•4 hours agoBut vanishing is magic, it goes against the laws of physics, so you could apply any fictional logic
The gravity does not travel, the gravity is.
