The Theory of General Relativity has adapted as new technologies and new evidence have expanded our view of the universe.
So when we are scientifically discussing gravity, we can talk about the law of gravity that describes the attraction between two objects, and we can also talk about the theory of gravity that describes why the objects attract each other.
Haha trying not to get too dorky on this, but if you research gravity, there is a growing concensus that it's not what we think it is, just bodies of mass attracting smaller bodies. Too many observed anomalies, which lead to other theories. Gravity is a theory, not a law. Same thing with time, most people think time is a standard, doesn't change, it's fact.
Certainly not true. If a space ship travels at the speed of light, and a space ship behind it travelling at the speed of light turns on its headlights, will the first ship ever see them, seeing as how it's travelling at the speed of light? It's all about PERSPECTIVE
