Downloaded for later reading. I Asked a college physics professor about the velocity of gravity once and was invited to shut up or flunk. I remain a repressed heretic.

FYI,
Gravity has recently been measured to travel at the speed of light. It is, of course, noted that the measured speed of anything will never exceed the speed of light, if you use light to measure its speed.

Gravity moves at the speed of light. It cannot move faster. This is by now well-established, despite the non-physical ramblings of people like Tom Van Flandern, who just plain don't understand relativity--and make a virtue out of ignorance.
