I don't think we can truly appreciate the gravity of this situation. Ping the smart
guys !

Smart guys?! I was asleep in GR class... Actually I never took general relativity. (Took Solid State! Anybody wanna know about recent observations in ion-bulk collisional nonresonant charge transfer effects? Nope, thought not...)
Physicist has some good things to add on this thread...

Whoa, you're too kind, I'm not smart enough for these guys. I wouldn't have thought gravity had a speed, and the gravitational distortion of light would have depended on the mass of the object the light was passing near. Better include me out of the Einsteinian stuff.
Letter to the National Lampoon back in the 70's:
Dear Sirs:
If I'm so smart, how come I'm dead?
Sinerely,
Albert Einstein
