Don’t confuse them with facts.
I was reading an article not related to climate change that, as far as I was concerned, made the case for far more variables for climate change than the Chicken Littles would care to acknowledge.
For instance, it is suggested that our star has grown 30% in size since Earth first existed. And as it burns more fuel it will continue to grow.

How fast do gravity waves travel?
Is it the speed of light? Why? How do we know?
Do all the weird relativity effects happen same as with light?

Yep, at some point Sol will be a Red Giant and Earth will be a charred cinder................

Gravity waves travel at the speed of light. This was predicted by General Relativity and confirmed a few years ago when
2 neutron stars collided 130 million lights years away. After the gravity waves revealed the position the light from the explosion was soon observed as well. As to why light speed is the universal speed limit I can only guess . My guess is it is because deep down everything is both a particle and a wave and the waves travel at the speed of light. You can’t travel faster than the very stuff from which we are made!

Could be a Helium Flash. It’s not something you notice on the surface because it all happens in the core, but it could have generated gravity waves.

You just responded to yourself after almost six months? LOL
It’s like a time warp.

I’m surprised anybody noticed. I just wanted to go on record with an idea I just had.
