I believe this was my last go-around with Southack on the speed of gravity.

Truly a classic. He proposes a "proof" that gravity propagates at the "speed" of "c2" at #84 of that thread, in which he appears to be cognizant of, but not bothered very much by, the fact that the units of "c2" aren't even a velocity.

As they used to say in freshmen physics; "quantity calculus" is your friend.

Oh goodness, how could something propagate at a rate that isn't a fixed velocity?! < /SARCASM >

Methinks someone has forgotten a term known as: acceleration.
