    Measurable

Clearly, gravity is a lightspeed interaction itself. But measurable changes in gravitational potential are due to the local motions of masses - so tied to their capacity to be at rest and unchanging.

I believe that's an assumption/hypothesis which hasn't any data to support it.

OK, the experimental verification is still in question (http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/gravity_speed_030116.html ).

But it is a reasonable assumption in most eyes. And there is some data, even if it is being questioned.

Or are you offering an argument that it has some different value? I would be interested in the shape of that argument.

Can't...

the forum doesn't allow personal theories to be posted
