Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion
I thought that was obvious given the context.
Basically the Earth's acceleration is not in the same direction as the incident light from the sun.

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion
It wouldn't be that hard to predict the suns' position in eight minutes.
So. If gravity is found to travel at c and the earth orbits the suns' actual position...Could gravity be 'connected' to the object it came from?

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion
I'm confused. So there's both experiments that show that gravity is indeed travelling at the speed of light( or close to it ), and actual observations of the opposite?
Then that would indicate, as narf says, that there's some sort of connection to the object it came from. Perhaps gravity 'predicts' where the sun is going to be at the moment it reaches earth?
So if something was to suddenly push the sun out of its original and predictable path, it might take a while before gravity would catch up and start pulling us in the right direction again.

Re: OT: Gravity, Dark Energy, Universal expansion
That's what people are saying. I have little knowledge of the situation - Just trying to make sense of it.
