right, but I'm not using my own ignorance as evidence that I should ignore scientists when they claim that they do in fact understand the mechanism of gravity.

right, but I'm not using my own ignorance as evidence that I should ignore scientists when they claim that they do in fact understand the mechanism of gravity. I was under the impression that this was one of the main problems with our understanding of gravity. Have any pointers on material? all wikipedia says that is useful to me is that bodies don't transmit information about their position faster than c, which does solve that particular problem. I just can't wrap my head conceptually around how that works from the frame of reference of the body being acted upon.
