As for indications, a simple look at the flat, in-line orbits of all of our planets around our Sun indicates that either our solar system is *not* spinning through space as the Milky Way rotates, *or* that gravity is faster than light. Why?! Because we "see" the Sun from Earth not where the Sun/Earth are currently, but from where the Sun/Earth were located 8.3 minutes ago (takes Light that long to make the trip)...however, we orbit in line with where the Sun is located *now*, as does each of the planets... - Southack

"Huh? Actually, the Glactic plane is almost 60 degrees offset from our equatorial plane which is offset by 23.5 degrees from our orbit plane." - RadioAstronomer

But that's just it; the Sun's equatorial plane is in line with the Earth's orbital plane around the Sun, which is in line with Mars' orbit around the Sun, which is in line with Jupiter's orbit around the Sun, etc.

Yet it takes light longer to reach Mars and Jupiter than it does to reach the Earth. If Gravity was as slow as light, then Mars would orbit around a lower plane, where the Sun was much longer than 8.3 minutes ago; even more so for Jupiter.

Planetary orbits would be stacked like a wedding cake, in layers, rather than flat like a pancake...if Gravity was as slow as light.
