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 best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique

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?
