I think these guys are grasping at straws. Gravity is a force (Not a constant one either)therefore I don't think it has any speed. ie... The force of gravitational body (centrifugal) increases when an object moves away from it and decreases when a certain threshold of distance is reached away from that body. Gravity is still in effect, yet its influence is lessened by the corresponding distance away from the gravitational body. ( I am not a physicist and don't play one on TV) Just my two cents.

The same argument could be applied to the force of electromagnetism, but electromagnetism conclusively propagates at the speed of light.

Gravity is a force It can't be that simple. Physicists would have nothing to do. You want to be responsible for all these physicists being out of work and on welfare?
