9 months agoI did that knot in front of a shoe saleswoman and she commented she had never seen anyone do that before. Asked me to show her again how I did it.
Wait, I thought gravity is not a “force” but the curvature of spacetime, so at some point the curvature gotta end or be disturbed by some other source nearby, right? A star so far away is not exerting any “force” on me as I already have two massive objects Earth and Sun twisting the spacetime around me so much. I could however be getting some gravitational waves from that star but not sure how strong they’d be or if they reach me at all (again given Sun and Earth).
(NOTE: I’m an engineer not a physicist so my understanding could all be wrong)
