In summary, the question about the gravitational field strength of a body with a velocity greater than the speed of light does not have any theoretical significance. It is considered a philosophical question and is not something that can be answered at Physics Forums. The thread has been closed.

I accept the fact that this question has only theoretical significance although any insight into it would provoke a lot of interest. Thus what would the gravitational field strength of a body (say a mass of 1kg) with a velocity greater than the speed of light be and how could any potential value be calculated? Thank you for your time and help!

You are wrong, the question does not have any theoretical significance (or other significance either). You cannot ask what a theory predicts for a situation which is forbidden in the theory. Thus, your question is philosophical at best, which we do not deal with at Physics Forums. Thread closed.

Related to Gravitational Field Strength of Bodies Exceeding c

What is the concept of "Gravitational Field Strength of Bodies Exceeding c"?

The concept of "Gravitational Field Strength of Bodies Exceeding c" refers to the measurement of the strength of a gravitational field produced by a body that is traveling faster than the speed of light (c). This concept is based on the theory of general relativity, which states that the speed of light is the maximum speed at which all matter and information can travel in the universe.

How is the "Gravitational Field Strength of Bodies Exceeding c" calculated?

The calculation of the "Gravitational Field Strength of Bodies Exceeding c" involves the use of Einstein's field equations, which describe the relationship between the curvature of spacetime and the distribution of matter and energy. These equations can be used to calculate the strength of a gravitational field produced by a body exceeding the speed of light.

Can the "Gravitational Field Strength of Bodies Exceeding c" be measured?

Currently, there is no technology or method that can directly measure the "Gravitational Field Strength of Bodies Exceeding c". However, scientists can indirectly measure the effects of this field on other objects or particles, such as the bending of light around a massive object exceeding c.

What are the implications of a body exceeding the speed of light on its gravitational field?

The implications of a body exceeding the speed of light on its gravitational field are still being studied and debated by scientists. Some theories suggest that such a body could create a "bubble" in space-time, causing distortions in the local gravitational field. Others propose that it may lead to the creation of a black hole.

Is it possible for a body to exceed the speed of light and have a stable gravitational field?

According to our current understanding of physics, it is not possible for a body to exceed the speed of light and have a stable gravitational field. As a body approaches the speed of light, its mass and energy would increase infinitely, causing extreme distortions in space-time and likely leading to the collapse of the gravitational field.
