Comment on The other day I heard a friend talking about how "the moon's gravity affects our internal organs." This sounds like bull, but is it? And if so, how would I correct their misinformation?
Would that logic not extend to all mass in the universe, regardless of observability?
Yes I believe so. Adding "observable’ was unnecessary on my part.
I’m not so sure. Gravity only travels at the speed of light so mass outside of the observable universe hasn’t been able to affect us yet.
This is a great point. I remember last year ligo detecting g waves from the merging black holes and experimentally verified this.
