What if we had a way of attainng part of the speed of light, and then partially attracted the light to us magnetically, or with gases, somehow, or a type of gravity. Doesn't gravity of a celestial body depend upon the chemical make-up of the celestial body, and how is that in congruence with mass, change gravity. Light cannot escape a black hole, but gases can. Maybe on the flip side of some of these black holes, the gases that escape it, converge, and start a new nebulae.

Is this a vanity post? or what?

“Doesn’t gravity of a celestial body depend upon the chemical make-up of the celestial body,”
Mass alone determines gravity.
“Light cannot escape a black hole, but gases can.”
Hawkins Radiation is not ‘gas’ in even a remote sense.
On the other hand, you forgot the moon. It’s made of cheese and sports a moose. Just ask my sister...

I think definitely "what".
It's also a really good example of why marijuana should not be given to 12 year olds.

I am already attaining “part” of the speed of light just by walking across the room to grab my coffee cup. In like manner, I weigh part of a ton.

Your post is closely related to the existence of Schroedinger’s Viking Kitty.
