Light and gravitational waves don’t arrive simultaneously

<p>There&rsquo;s an important rule in relativity that &mdash; as far as we know &mdash; all objects must obey. If you have no rest mass as you travel through the vacuum of space, you absolutely are compelled to travel exactly at the speed of light. This is exactly true for all massless particles, like photons and gluons, approximately true for particles whose mass is tiny compared to their kinetic energy, like neutrinos, and should also be exactly true for gravitational waves. Even if gravity isn&rsquo;t inherently quantum in nature, the speed of gravity should be exactly equal to the speed of light. At least, that&rsquo;s a necessity if our current laws of physics are correct.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/light-and-gravitational-waves-dont-arrive-simultaneously-edf80c8bad15"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
