Except that if gravity propagated at the speed of light, the earth would long ago have ceased to orbit the sun. The calculation of orbital trajectories, in order to work, have to be plotted treating the speed of gravity as virtually instantaneous.

Sadly, there are many in this forum who have absolutely no idea of the gravity of this discovery.

I've always thought of gravity as a field of some kind even before learning about fields as a mathematical construct. Never worried about the speed of propagation of a change in field, still don't, but it looks like somebody ought to, so it is good to know that such changes propagate at the speed of light. Waiting for news of the gravitational blue shift.

GRAVITY!
It's not just a good idea...
Its THE LAW!
(oooh I am glad I was first with that one)
