The article asks what would happen to gravity if you suddenly "removed" the sun. My question is- is that even possible? How could you instantaneously "disappear" a giant blob of mass/energy? Is this kind of like trying to divide by zero? I'm not being facetious, just wondering if the whole idea is predicated on an impossibility.
