just figured it was a function of mass and was just - well, there. But associating it with light and speed - that is interesting




"Gravity and light travel at the same speed, determined by a precise measurement. It validates Einstein once again, and it hints at something profound about the nature of space. Scientists hope one day to fully understand why these two very different phenomena have identical speeds."
