I may be wrong here,
but I think that yes, we would still see the light for 8 minutes, but the gravitational effect would be felt immediately?

yeah thats what Im wondering
So if gravity is an ever present force instantly exerting itself upon everything around it wouldnt that cause anomalies between what we see in the vast distance many millions of light years away and what is actually out there given that old stars may no longer be there, even though we can see them in the past with our telescopes.
I tried to read a brief history of time twice and failed both times.
