Faster than the speed of light
This is off topic but I started thinking about it when the speed of light was mentioned. As far as we know, nothing moves faster than the speed of light. How about gravity? If, hypothetically the sun vanished at this instant, would the pull of gravity it exerts on us cease instantly or would it take eight minutes as light would?
