Does anyone out there understand science enough to explain to me in simple terms how gravity works? How do objects attract each other? Is it some kind of wave or force field?
Is there a way to measure how objects pull on each other? How would an instrument like that work? Can you somehow interrupt your own gravity on other objects? If so, how?
If a planet ten billion miles away blows up, how long does it take for its gravity to stop effecting me?
These might be stupid questions, but I got to thinking about it over the weekend and I realized I don't have any idea how gravity actually works. Science books are probably all way over my head, so I thought heck I'll start here.
