Thought experiment: Imagine the sun suddenly disappeared; lets say it some how transported to the edge of the observable universe.What will be the effects on the space-time?
(1) What does General Relativity (specifically) have to say about the disappearance of mass from the portion of space-time being analyzed?
I predict that the space will oscillate ,like a spring; interacting with it self (assuming the mass was spherical, and did not cause a force to act upon space in any direction), until it dampens out due to the interference, and initial "springiness" of space.But I do not know, I am no GR specialist.
(2) Can someone also tell about what will happen if the opposite happened, (a mass suddenly appeared)?
