Let us know if you convert her to believing in the speed of light. ;)
To me it's spooky that gravity has a speed. ???
I mean, if all there was in the universe was 2 stars sitting still, and they were 1 light year apart, and then star A decided to move, the gravitational effect would not arrive at star B until a year later. :-\ ???
Weird.
But at least light and gravity are consistent, since this would be just about exactly the same time that somebody standing on star B would see star A move.

well she and I dont' talk much at all anymore. And when we do talk we try to keep it as light and airy as possible.

I was thinking a little more about Wolf and Anderson last night and I think I might be mistaken :-\ :laugh:
The extra distance that the signal has to travel may not be far enough to account for the delay. The distance is something more than 12,000 miles (New York-Baghdad round trip), but even if it was 20,000 miles that would only be 20,000/186,000= about 1/9th of a second, and the delay seems longer than that.
I'm guessing there are probably some delays within the satellites etc as the message is received and then forwarded on to the next machine.
Anyhow, I still believe in the speed of light! :laugh:
Hope y'all are having a great day :-*
