serious question about the world

The gravitational force of an object can only be in existence for as long as the object has been in existence.

I wasn't saying the time of existence, I was suggesting the distance at which it is felt. The two are very different concepts.

Albert Einstein's special theory of relativity shows that the speed of gravity cannot exceed the speed of light.

You got me on this, and as such, my distance idea doesn't hold. :)
