Comment on What is the Speed of Gravity?parent

Comments

It doesn't make any sense to define a gravity field by photons. They're massless, so they don't attract anything, and most of the photons a star has produced over its lifetime are speeding away across the universe billions of light years away from it.

Only things with mass can attract other objects with the gravitational force. Photons aren't in that category.
