It slows down when I am at work, and speeds up when I'm not. :confused:

time is an invention of man, and just as flawed

time exists, in the sense that things change.

nice observation lazerouth, too bad you are trapped within your culture's confines.

if you were a mesopotamian, you would be eating potatoe soup and praying to the sun-god.

No, but you could massage your hands and arms in circular motions.

Quote:

The conclusion would seem to be that gravity propagates instantaneously - ie, an alteration in a source of gravity will instantaneously alter its entire gravitational field accordingly.

To Isaac Newton this was a big mystery. He found it hard to believe that any force could affect distant things instantaneously with no intermediary force carrier. But he couldn't explain why gravitation worked like it did.

The mystery was solved in Einstein's theory of gravitation. All gravitational effects propagate at the speed of light, but the direction of the force does not point to the original location of the gravitating object. The motion of the gravitating object contributes to the force with an additional component that alters the direction so it points to the instantaneous location for certain types of motion. Those types of motion are the ones that have zero or constant acceleration, or a vanishing third derivative of position. For most bodies in the solar system this means that the force almost but not exactly points at the instantaneous position of the other body.

There is a similar alteration of the force direction of the electrical force, when the originating charge is moving. This is caused by the magnetic component of the electromagnetic force, and in this case it compensates only for motion with constant velocity, or a vanishing second derivative of position. I saw an explanation for why this differs from the gravitational effect, but I forget it now...
