Comment on What is the Speed of Gravity?parent

Comments

Yes, in some sense gravitational attraction carries information about the location of the object.

Yes, Information may not escape the event horizon of a black hole, because to do so would require it to travel faster than the speed of light (up to small quantum corrections)

No, it doesn't follow that information about the singularity is getting out of the black hole. The information got out, and stayed out. The horizon prevents updates from getting out, leaving the previous information and attraction "frozen in" to the shape of space-time.
