minus-squarecuerdo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·17 days agoIf the mass vanishes, then the gravity would also vanish, at the same time.
minus-squarecuerdo@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·17 days agoBut vanishing is magic, it goes against the laws of physics, so you could apply any fictional logic
minus-squarechuckleslord@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·17 days agoFalse. If the mass vanished via magic, the effect would ripple out at the speed of light. Source, gravity waves which move at the speed of light.
