Now before you ask no we don't know why mass distorts spacetime we just know it does through experiments
When one speeds through space time slows down
When one approaches mass time slows down.
Doesn't it make sense that mass itself is warped spacetime? The increased density of spacetime in both cases causing time to slow down.

In light of the new paper by Banik et al, this claim really looks ridiculous. Banik found that Chae failed to use Bayesian statistics which are best for this kind of analysis, and also failed to exclude data that had excessive uncertainties by applying quality checks. After applying the quality checks to the data, the result claimed by Chae vanishes completely, and the data support Newton's gravity. Not only that, but this is coming from a long-time supporter of MOND!

The work of the Korean researcher was publishedin the most authoritative The Astrophysical Journal, that is, it has passed all possible checks and does not contain the slightest inaccuracy.
Don't believe everything you hear. And your source is 12 years old! This was resolved about a decade ago.

I also heard that things can travel faster than light speed and if this is true that blows my mind. that fundamentally changes our understanding of reality. here's a link to an article if anyone is interested
