Thanks for the lack of abuse. Did like the phrase 'all instants are eternal'. Here endeth my career in physics.

Have to have a chirp again. Phlogiston was not a glorious episode in the history of science.

The force of gravity is a particular form of energy. Stephen Hawking in “A Brief History of Time,” page 92, paragraph 3, states; “Like light, gravitational waves carry energy away from the objects that emit them.” It requires an energy source for the force of gravity to come into existence. The physics trilogy describes the basic forces of our universe, the force of gravity being one of them. The trilogy is: E = mc2, m = E/c2, and c2 = E/m. The last is that for a gravitational field, or a field of physical time. The "c2" value is the singular one of the three that does not change. It is this value that all mass and energy is composed of. This equation states that physical time exists only in present time and there is no way for us of the present to interact with either the past or future. All time moves only in a single direction, which is from present to the past, and this value is universal. Any value not having this speed could not exist in our universe, nor could we exist in a universe having a value different that ours.

All instants are infinitesimally small !
I don't think gravity is an effect of time, gravity exists and seems to be constant no matter over how long a period you measure it, whether its a year or a picosecond. Gravity is an effect caused by mass.

No. Gravity is the result of mass warping space-time. The larger the mass, the greater the gravitational effect.

As Foo said; No. Not even close.
Time doesn't move anyway. Our consciousness moves through time. But all instants are eternal.
