  • @Nufrifin If the sun suddenly ceased to exist, that bend in spacetime would flatten out and there would be no more bend in the sheet, thus the earth and all planets orbiting the sun would fly off into space in a direction tangent to the point in the circle (earth's orbit) where it was when the bend in spacetime flattened out. Sorry if that's still confusing, it sounded much simpler in my head.

  • Why would it leave the circular path, if the sheet is still bent in this model?

  • @Drumwannabe17 nope. perfectly clear.

  • Am I the only one who looked at the comments to see if something scary was going to pop up

    o-O

  • ohhhhk then

    

  • Videos wrong

  • I didn't know Starscream gave science lectures.

  • Sun ceases to exist: We Freeze.

  • spooky action at a distance anyone? gravitons would obey general relativity just as photons would

  • The Earth wouldn't leave its orbit in the same instant. It takes 8 minutes for information of any kind (including gravity) to reach us.

  • @AlbinoMunkay13 some weird ass fetishes

  • Gravity travels at the soeed of light so earth would remain in the suns gravity for 8 minutes after it dissapearred.
