If gravity is a particle... How come it can escape a black hole? ๐ค

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted, clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.
Thank you, finally somebody asks.
Also, other important question: What are the differential equations that describe how the Gravity Field propagates through space? In other words, at what speed does gravity propagate?
I'm relatively certain we've established that gravity travels at the speed of light
Only in a vacuum, in water it travels much more slowly. That's why you can float on water.
Archimedes is going to get really angry when he reads your comment
A WITCH!
Lol nope
It was a good attempt.
Isn't it the same speed electromagnetic fields propagate through space?
