Where does the gravity go?

well. gravitation is the acceleration of objects (b) along the bend created in space by other objects (a). remember that weird episode of the simpsons when homer turns comput0red and there's that big green grid? well when an object (a) sits upon that grid it weighs it down a bit and the grid dips under it. if an object (b) is passing by it will either be drawn into the dip or will at least alter it's course a bit due to the edge. but if an object (b) is moving fast enough, it's course alteration will be so slight it won't matter. but this alteration is always calculable... sometimes it just takes a while. mmm math.but. (back to the actual question). in order for the gravitation to affect an object (b), that object (b) has to have mass. if the mass disappears, then the object (b) will not be affected. the exception in this is of course light. light is energy, but it has the peculiar property of behaving like particles. weird light.but think about it. does heat bend? no. it radiates out from it's source and causes every particle it touches to become more excited.This message has been edited by brennakimi, 02-26-2005 12:30 AMThis message has been edited by brennakimi, 02-26-2005 12:32 AM

i thought energy and mass were proportional. thus wouldn't pure energy have no mass?*edit*
i'm going to leave this here because i just realized that i'm confused. but. as velocity approaches the speed of light, mass drops to zero... is this not a demonstration of energy?This message has been edited by brennakimi, 02-27-2005 23:19 AM
