According to Einstein?

Question

He said that Gravity travels the speed of light. And nothing could travel faster than the speed of light, then how could gravity instantly travel faster than speed of light, that is breaking the law and also why would Einstein even include it in his General Relativity when he thought that gravity travel faster than Speed of Light, he created E=MC^2. Cause speed of light is the max, that anything could go, and gravity could not surpass it.

Answer 1

Einstein never said anything about gravity moving faster than light in his theory of general relativity. General relativity just says that uniform motion and rest are unrecognisable, acceleration is unrecognisable from rest on a surface with gravity, and that space and time are interconnected. He said nothing about gravity moving faster than light.

Answer 2

My own conclusion about the reason why mass structures are moving at different velocities is because it has to do with the densities of mass,and the Density of space structure.
This space structure is not quite understood and was in the past called Aether.
Light being a small volume particle has the greatest density than any other mass structures.This particle density is in the order of 10^53 kilogram per meter cube.
If we plug this value for the equation of velocity which is=

C^2= Gravity pressure on the particle / Densisty of the particle
We obtain the velocity which is "C".

What needs to be considered in the world of physics is the nature of gravity and its cause.Actually it is the phenomena of gravity which causes the micromass of light to move at that speed.

A wave by definition is a disturbance in a medium.Without a medium a wave just simply does not exist.
So light needs the medium of space in order to move.
A gravity wave is the result of the presence of mass in space as a mass Undergoes oscilliatory motion Space responds to the moving mass which is disturbing it.The Result is a Gravity wave. The reason that physics has not being able to detect low frequncy gravity wave on earth is because the earth is part of the wave.So gravity wave would vary in speed depending on the Density of the Aether in space.

Answer 3

Gravity DOESNT travel faster than light. I read the last question you asked, if thats why you're asking this now, and the answerer that responded that it does is WRONG.

There are several experiments searching for gravity waves, such as the LIGO experiment (http://www.ligo.caltech.edu/). Gravity waves have not been observed yet, but the theory behind why we think they exist as waves has to with the fact that gravity DOES NOT travel faster than light.

Gravity is thought to be transmitted by whats called a messenger particle, like electromagnetism is carried by photons, named the graviton. These have not been observed, but the confirmation of gravity waves would go a long way in supporting their existence.

hope this helps.

Answer 4

The question is rather muddled. Einstein stated that gravity could not travel faster than light, if the sun blew up we would still see it shine for about nine minutes, thats how long it takes light to reach earth from the sun.

Answer 5

To answer your question let's just focus on black holes.
If there should exist carrier particles which transport the effect of gravity than shouldn't those particles move faster than light because we know that light - once entered into a black hole - cannot escape from it?
But there is also a space bending of (maybe more than 360 degrees?).
