Gravity theories are a waste of time, with a zillion theories disputing the WRONG relativity, wich is flawed everywhere, specially explaining galaxies movements and rare cosmic events. This theories are for the MACRO universe, and are useless for earthly matters, as opposite are to the MICRO universe wich uses QM and electromagnetism (this micro universe is our Earth and the Solar system). Both theories are applied on spaces and times that are billions of time larger one with each other. Nobody believes seriously in the BBT, and cosmologists are working on string theories to explain gravity, dark energy and dark matter. It's kind of trendy today, but there are new theories that will displace the current one. [/quote] fart as you wish qm is total bs what is quantum state? what is energy level? there is only 1 force between protons and electrons in any atoms, the electrostatic attraction force, f=Ke x q1q2/rr. what is qm based on? what to calculate? you sure can read a lot bs, take as gold. [/quote] Right, QM is BS. But that computer you are using to spread your lies was designed with taking QM into account. The transistor is a quantum mechanical device. So are lasers, diodes, MRI, LEDs, CCDs, the atomic force microscope, superfluids and superconductors, carbon nanotubes, and a host of other devices. So go ahead and whine about how hard and difficult it is to understand. But lucky for you the rest of the world does not share such an infantile view of how physics can and does work. [/quote] No. The transistor works because someone in the late 1800's noticed a rectifying effect in a certain mineral crystal (galena). That knowledge was used to make more refined versions of devices that operated on similar principles, leading to the invention of the transistor in 1948. (The transistor was invented because of a rock, not because of a theory.) Just because someone (Einstein and friends) calls it "Quantum", and provides an explanation based upon "Quantum Theory", does not mean that explanation is accurate. As an example, gunpowder was invented over 1000 years ago by the Chinese, but the true nature of combustion (the work of oxygen) was not understood until the 1700's. People were using gunpowder in fireworks and of course guns for hundreds of years before understanding how exactly it worked. The lack of true knowledge of the nature of oxygen (present in the potassium nitrate) did not prevent people from making guns. The "scientific theory" of "phlogiston" was used to explain combustion before the true nature of oxygen was discovered. In this case, Quantum Theory is like the theory of "phlogiston", accepted by mainstream science, but totally wrong. Some "scientist" could say "You don't believe in phlogiston? Watch what happens when I shoot you with my gun", and think he's won the case, but his phlogiston explanation is bogus. [/quote]
Original Message
If a star explodes, the radiation waves (X, gamma, etc.) would reach Earth at the speed of light (assume a constant "c" vakue).
But what about gravity? Gravitational waves weren't included in Einstein body of work.
Just recently, some gravitational waves were sensed, but no speed has been measured yet.
Are the gravity effects instantaneous?
