I understand what you're saying, but what perplexes me is that if gravify is basically the distortion of space/time, then a traveling gravity wave will be disorting time as it moves along. So if time is being distorted by the gravitational wave, then how can it's speed be determined with any...
From what I understand, gravity is not an object pulling on another object. The Earth doesn't pull a person to it, but rather the Earth's mass distorts space and a person located in the distorted space is PUSHED to the Earth by the distorted space. If the sun were to vanish, space would no...
If the Big Bang is true, then there is an originating point that everything is expanding from. When the age of the universe was calculated, the mathematics of galaxies moving away from this point was reversed. So if a point has been calculated that was the origin of the Big Bang, then wouldn't...
Relative to our sun, it's possible to calculate the speed at which the Earth is moving through space in it's orbit. So it's possible for an astronaut to position himself in a fixed position just slightly outside the Earths orbital path and observe the Earth passing by at the velocity the...
