    With respect to the finite propogation time of gravitational information,
I have always thought it would be an interesting experiment to do the
following:

	Position yourself at the center of the sun,
	    (without burning up, preferably)

	Destroy the sun in some non-cataclysmic, instantaneous way.

	Watch the Earth continue to orbit for ~16 minutes.

This would all be done for the sake of Science, of course!!
