Ohms law might be helpful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ohm%27s_law

I had it backwards. Sorry about that. Thanks for your responses.

Yeah, the whole frame dependency throws me for a loop. But it makes me want to learn more, so thank you for your time. The last quote was me trying imagine light existing in 2 different time frames. 1 where it seemed to exist in a "normal" manner for 1 year, but to me it lasted for many years...

That is what I'm saying... kind of. We see what we see, and we measure it with the tools we have. Light from the Andromeda Galaxy is measured with what we know. Light speed is constant, so if it takes X amount of time to reach us, that's how far away it is. What i am suggesting, is that some of...

I kind of understand how time dilation works. I realize that i would never see it happening. I still wonder if it would happen. So GW's just ride over top of existing gravitational forces...got it. thanks! So, i was thinking that light from a distant galaxy is affected by time. Since gravity...

Of course there is. There is a super massive black hole at the center of our galaxy. We know that time is distorted near the center. So yes, 6 may just equal 8 there. But what about galaxies close to us? Maybe 6=6 from our perspective, but maybe 6=8 from it's perspective? Einstein proved that...

I always wonder if galaxies are truly moving away from us. What if our time is different from the time of those galaxies? Do you think Gravitational Waves might have something to do with that? We all know that gravity has an effect on time. Maybe the super black hole at the center of most...

My question is less technical, and a little bit closer to home. If GW's were to pass by the earth, would we experience time dilation, or would it mess with our own gravity in relation to the sun? I am assuming that Gravity waves are traveling at the speed of light, and that time and space are one.

Thank you for the replies.

Well, I understand that gravity is space pushing on you (Thanks to Relativity). My problem is, Light travels in a straight line. Warped space will bend light, but not make it disappear. I know that a black hole funnels space to the center or singularity, but i also know that warped space can't...

I am lucky to be a high school graduate. None of this deters my thought processes. I question everything, but some of my questions are really big.

If space is warped around heavy objects in space, i feel that space would be FUBAR around black holes. So, my question is, Does light get sucked in by gravity, or does it just get caught in the warped space around a black hole?
