Einstein was right about the speed of gravity

  • #31
I don't see how effects of gravity, even if they do occur instananeously, would have any useful purpose whatsoever...besides throwing a few computations out of whack. Can someone suggest to me how FTL based on gravity would do anything useful?

Sure, it would "get us there"!
