Gravity

Today I am finishing how the cosmic speed limit interfeared with Isaac Newton's theory of gravity. If in some instance the sun was to instantly disappear; according to Newton's theory the Earth would go instantly out of its orbit This counters the idea of light being the fastest because in this case the gravity holding Earth in orbit would disappear before sunlight. This is what led Einstein to study gravity.
