That, and the fact that gravity propagates at a speed that must be at least 2 * 1010 c, and may be infinite.

What is your basis for making this claim?

Very interesting if true and we do know that nobody (AFAIK) has ever detected a gravity wave. And they have been trying for a long time.

The link in post #106 also deals with the 10 Billion c lower limit for the speed of propagation of gravity.

The text also clarifies a common confusion - which I used to labour under - between the speed of gravity, and the speed of gravitons (which do move at c, do not progagate gravity, and seem to be a product of heavy masses in close orbital motion.)
