There are two elephant-in-the-living-room kinds of problems with what Einstein had to say about gravity.
One is that gravity has been known for centuries to propagate instantaneously to within our ability to measure while Einstein claimed that information cannot be transmitted faster than C.
Two is that you cannot start with Einstein's claim that gravity amounts to any sort of a four dimensional differential geometry kind of thing and believe it ever could have changed very much near the surface of our own planet. Yet it is an easy demonstration that it has, and that the super animals of past ages count not live in our present world, in fact that they would be immediately crushed by their own weight in our present world.

What Sci-Fi pulp rag did you swipe that bit of absurdity out of?

I have no idea what you’re talking about...and I am certainly not going to argue against Einstein...LOL

...and by the way...gravity does not propogate

Nope.. Gravity has been shown to be transmitted at exactly C.
