Alright, so there are two schools of thought. Speed of c and speed far greater the c.
Theoretically could this be tested?
Maybe Take three objects. Two gyroscopes and a heavy mass. Two Super sensitive gyroscopes similar to those that where employed on 'Gravity Probe B'...
I have been looking for a defined speed of gravity. Unfortunately I have gotten various answers from various sources. The two answers I have received are that the speed of gravity is instantaneous due to the affect it would have on the orbit of planets if it where not. And the other that says...
Well that is interesting. Another idea would be to have a high altitude blimp, carrying the main capsul up to a few miles. Then releasing the craft at that hight upon which it could theoretically fly up, which would help save fuel costs.
