It will be interesting to see how this stands up to peer review.

It seems the only “settled” science is man made global warming!

I’ve chased gravity many times in my life.

> "...If photons moved faster than gravity..."

The physical constant "c" is often referred to as "the speed of light" but it's actually the speed of propagation of gravity, and other massless particles, too.

It doesn't make sense that it would be faster for light than gravity, as proposed in this hypothesis...

Gravity is a heavy subject to discuss.

I don’t buy it. Gravity doesn’t really travel, but changes in it do. And the speed of light basically reflects how fast any effect—including changes in gravity—can travel.

It is good to read about researchers who are investigating “settled science”. Al Gore would disagree, but that’s how knowledge advances.

Anyway, these sorts of challenges to the consistency of the speed of light have always failed in the past. The announcement is followed (weeks or months later) by a retraction, and an experimental or a math error is usually cited.

The “Big Al” of science is not Al Gore. It’s Albert Einstein.

Nothing impedes gravity, plenty of impediments for photons.

...or maybe the speed of gravity hasn’t always been the same...

How does knowing this help me in any way? How does studying this help humanity?

These idiots make me laugh. Long before Mensa told me that my I.Q. was "well over 150..." I asked my 9th Grade Physics teacher to explain something which he had taught about light ("...a combination of particles and waves," he said), energy, velocity, and light possessing the "ultimate velocity attainable in our universe."

He was unable to answer my question, and even gave me detention for asking it.

Ever since then, I have known beyond any shadow of a doubt, that these "scientists" were using the collection of data to support their choice of religion, "Science," and that they actually know nothing.

They pigeonhole and categorize...
They see with their mouths, not their eyes,
Their officiousness is their thin disguise
for this "Science" thing they build with lies.

Our One World Wishing Pols have now perverted Science beyond even the humble deception it began as, and now use it like their own club to beat the masses into submission.

They tell us that CO2 (carbon-dioxide) is a "greenhouse gas" that will destroy our planet...

...despite that every green thing on this planet, from sea algae to the great sequoias uses CO2 to make oxygen in the photosynthetic process. That's right. An abundance of CO2 results in an abundance of oxygen, and a greener planet.

I hate liars even more than I despise imbeciles.

This is very interesting to me. I have been attracted to gravity for some time now.

I’ve often wondered if the space:time:light-speed relationship influences our concept of “age” during the earlier periods of the universe. In other words, something that we think is 10 millions years old, really isn’t. It’s as though we need a “time index” that everyone is +/- from, as we know time is not constant in different places in the universe.
