"Just as we do not include the earth’s velocity around the sun when calculating the speed of an airplane (we are only interested in the ground-speed), astronomers do not include the sun’s galactic orbital velocity when describing its local motion.”

That's true, but that colloquilism causes large numbers of astronomers and physicists to incorrectly estimate the Speed of Gravity as being equal to the Speed of Light...whereas the correct answer when one factors the speed of the Sun's movement and overall galactic orbital velocity shows that the only way that our planets can revolve in a flat plane around our Sun with such coincidental momentum is for the Speed of Gravity to be vastly faster than C.

If Gravity was slower, as the Sun head North, the planets' orbits would look like a wedding cake with each rotation being further South as you went outward from the Sun from one planet to another...because there would be a gravitational lag by the time the Sun in its old position affected a planet.

TVP appears to have discovered the “pushing gravity” model.

Here’s the older stuff he’s been writing about for a long while:
