Speed of Gravity Experiment Challenged

    Gravity: we all know it sucks, we just don't know how fast.

      But does it swallow?

    You wouldn't believe it, but I've been told a bad sense of humour is the most dangerous thing that can happen to a galaxy. Where do you think all those giant active galactic nuclei (which are in fact black holes) came from? They're all the result of astonishingly bad jokes being left out of check, causing the implosion of a galaxy. My invisible friend also mentioned that ours is due for a collapse any time soon, if the quality of posting here keeps on getting worse.

    One of the things physics is trying to do is to create a theory that ties together space, time, gravity, energy, mass, quantum mechanics (basically everything). It's proving to be very difficult and gravity is the problem.

    So what you're trying to say is that the speed of gravity is 42?
