minus-squaremkwt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up41·6 months agoI think a lot of people understand the concept of light-seconds, which can measure distance in seconds. Allow me to introduce the gravity-second. 1 gravity-second of mass-energy is enough mass-energy to have a Schwarzchild radius of 2 light-seconds.
