The search for "gravity waves" has produced zip, though none but the brave have dared but gently mention the possibility they've reached their resolution limit. None have suggested the break needed from Einstein that Einstein provided from Newton.

But these guys interest me. They are all about thinking outside the box, and the academic box is as stubbornly orthodox and self-protective as the Communist Party USA.

Great site, too. Great thought experiments, based on better data, like a four minute separation in the arrival of cosmic rays of different energies from a galactic flare at extra-galactic scale distance.

I wonder if it's occurred to anyone that gravity, unlike electro-magnetism, propagates instantly; that it is an echo of super-position left over from the earliest states of energy. That would rock the conference, wouldn't it?

" that gravity, unlike electro-magnetism, propagates instantly"

And would this be the means by which physically separated entangled particles are able to "communicate" instantaneously?

Instantaneous propagation would revert back to Newtonian concepts. It's my understanding that variations of the speed of gravity vary from, but are close to, the speed of light. Binary pulsar decay rates have been observed which tend to corroborate that assumption. If it is (IMO most likely) a function space-time itself then the rate could be inconsistent in different times and places in the Universe. That is unless the inherent random fluctuations (energy) of Casimir’s elastic metric concept are uniform. I personally think it varies.
