What SHOULD they use? The one thing which propogates instantaneously to within our ability to measure it is gravity and the closest thing to a decent explanation of what gravity is, is Ralph Sansbury’s description of gravity and sub-electron particles. The computed necessary speed of a sub-electron particle would get you to one of the near galaxies in a couple of seconds.

Is this connected to that pseudoscientific "electric universe" silliness?

Not directly. The interesting thing about Sansbury’s thesis is that it does not arise from any sort of a search for grand unification theories or any sort of a back-of-the-book type solution to gravity. It arises from a very mundane study of reversible electrostatic fields being generated by currents, and the only possible explanation of the actual data is sub-electron particles. For the last hundred years or thereabouts of course, electrons have been thought of as indivisible, even as atoms were thought of prior to that time.
