It can look dumb, but I always had this question as a kid, what physical principles would prevent this?

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink11•8 hours agoSpace bends due to gravity. Light continues in a straight line through the now non-linear space, thus appearing to bend.
minus-square@KlearlinkEnglish8•8 hours agoGravity bends spacetime, light always goes in a straight line, bent spacetime means straight lines can be curvy. That all checks out. But none of that helps you with FTL communication.
Gravity waves doesn’t go faster than light though?
