For a millionaire, uber programmer, genius extraordinaire, you missed my base64 homage pretty easily.

Seeing as how I never even replied to you except for the OP, you are making assumptions. Oh and yes, I'm a G, I know

How about that one. You should stick to theory.
And yes, pretty colors are niiice :)

Just be careful. He knows how to use colors as well! I had to find out the hard way.

Damn right I do.

It's funny when people use colors to try piece together a point they just cannot make without colors!

You haven't demonstrated you even know what a theory is.

Here's the start of the push away attempt. You made a statement, I responded how you wanted me to, and now you want to change the topic. Almost back to the ad hom! Congratz!

Furthermore, your post makes absolutely zero sense as I was the first to point out that YOUR OP is theoretical. Want to go back to the ad hom? I'm down.

e;
I expect another off-topic attack. First it was programming, now it is theory, what's next? Math or engineering? Maybe you will ask me a question about unicorns next, or perhaps starfish... What would happen to the gravitational acceleration of a starfish if the sun were to disappear!? If a starfish escaped the atmosphere, would it just be a star? Or would it be a dead starfish?

I guess knowing the definition of irony is 'too lowly' for someone of his great stature.

Must not have been on the Mensa test.

That's why they call this a thought problem. It doesn't have to be based on reality.

I'm not trying to prove it. I'm going by our current understanding which is subject to change if you are able to prove it wrong.
If gravitation can move instantaneous, than information can move faster than light. This could be an avenue to explore for FTL communication.

yes ftl communications are in the works tho we had breakthroughs a few years i have not heard much since, probably because they are closer than ever. quntum computors are step in this direction custom molecules made to interact to form data in such a way that infinite variations are possible. recordable and repeatable, molecular binary code.

Imagine a ball attached to the end of a string and someone swinging this string around their head. If they let go of the string the ball immediately flies away. That's the same with the sun, as soon as the attracting force is gone... there is no more attraction keeping the object there/in orbit. Gravity isn't like a ray of light, it is an attracting force.
If you're thinking about gravity like a hair dryer with a ping pong ball in the air stream, then you're thinking incorrectly. It's not an instantaneous thing, as there is still an air flow sending a repelling force upon the ball for just a split second. Another way to think of it is a SuperSoaker water gun, which is more like sunlight and a Skip-bo which is more like gravity.

Gravity may not be an actual force but a fictitious force. If spacetime curvature is what creates gravity, then it is not wrong to think of it this way, like centrifugal force which isn't a real force but is the result of acceleration. If the sun blinked out of existence, the warped spacetime cannot instantly spring back to normal, it will begin at the point of the highest tension, at the center of mass and proceed outward at c. I have no idea what skip-bo is, when I googled it I saw a card game. :)

I think it is like a hairdryer and ping pong ball. The ball does not know the dryer was shut off until the last part of the wave reaches it.

Yikes... ok. I don't know how gravity works. I was just using intution, lol.

SKip-bo... is a card game.. my bad.. I meant skip it.
My post failed on so many levels, lmao.
