Let's say there's 2 objects in the universe. A incredibly large object and another lesser object. These 2 are separated by an incredibly long distance, but enough for the objects to be within each other's gravitational pull.

Given a big enough distance wouldn't it be possible for the objects to exceed the speed of light due to the gravitational acceleration?

No; velocity doesn't work that way.

Yes, it's possible to *imagine* a reference frame from which one object appears to move at superluminal velocity /with regard to the other object/, but the manifold that composes questions with embedded "objective" reference frames isn't a valid form of relativistic reality. The problem is that you're trapped in the manifold is can only see the "objectively" superluminal object /as if it was/ moving at near-light velocity.

Another way of saying it is that your "objective" reference frame would have to move at relativistic speeds and ignore that light can't catch up.

Get out of my house!

From a logical point of view, the lesser object will get pulled towards the larger object at a certain speed although the larger object will move towards the lesser object too although at a much lesser rate.

THIS IS ALL ASSUMING THAT WHEN WE SAY LARGE OBJECT WE ALSO MEAN ITS DENSITY IS HIGH AS FUCK

The closer the objects get, the faster they start moving towards one another too until the two objects crash into one another.

>Why isn't the Earth crashing into the sun then
The object and motion keeps them from falling into the sun. This also applies to my thesis above.
