Galaxies strung like necklace beads

In the early 2000's, Sergei Kopelkin and a colleague , completed an eperiment that measured the bending of radio waves by Jupiters gravity. They were able to determine that gravity moves at roughly "C". Its interesting because they basically did the same experiment that Olaf Roemer did in the 17th century , in which Roemer determined "C" by using the occultation of one of Jupiters moons. The "C" /gravity speed has been done over and over since then using even higher resolution interferometry methods at the array rom Green Bank W Va.

Sorry gunga, another shot to the "Electrical world" crap.

In one they want gravity to either travel instantaneously or at least 100 times faster than light - whoopsie for relativity and observed data.

In another they want electric discharges, not meteorites to be what pockmarked the Moon giving it so many craters.

There is alot of electricity is king forget the other forces - without much explaining faults in current models at all realistically and proposing some exotic views on what governs space time without hard data to support it.

Abstract. New findings were announced on 2003/01/08 by S. Kopeikin, claiming to have measured the "speed of gravity" and finding it essentially equal to the speed of light. These findings are invalid by both experimental and theoretical standards because the quantity measured was already known to propagate at the speed of light. The hyped claims therefore do a disservice to science in general and the advancement of physics in particular because the announced findings do not represent the meaning of the actual experimental results and cannot possibly represent the physical quantity heretofore called "the speed of gravity", which has already been proved by six experiments to propagate much faster than light, perhaps billions of times faster. Several mainstream relativists have also stated their disagreement that the experiment really measured what it claimed to measure.

Dylan was a sucky painter as well.

Oh dear. I'm no physicist, but even I can see that's complete bull plop.

I am curious how gravity doesn't make things revolve around a center point.

2 objects of the same size would revolve around an area between them.

Could you explain your theory of gravity to us Gunga?

Simple observation really... The basic density of space is about one microscopic dust mote every four miles if you don't believe in "dark matter(TM)" (I don't), or about one microscopic dust mote every fifth of a mile if you do.

Here's what I mean. If you were to adopt a scale at which our solar system was about a yard across, then our sun would be about the size of a dust mote whose diameter was about the width of a human hair, and the nearest other star, Alpha Centauri, would be just over four miles away.

Moreover, that's fairly typical of space in general; even in bright star clusters which glow together, those kinds of size/distance relationships hold. At least inside galaxies; in intergalactic space it would be worse.

If you postulate dark matter comprising 95% of the universe, then you shorten the distance between dust motes to about a fifth of a mile, i.e. two of those little marker signs on highways.

Gravity simply cannot hold dust motes together at those kinds of distances. Electromagnetic forces however could.

Einstein said that information could not be passed around any faster than C. Nonetheless, any time you take five steps you are sending a gravitational message out into the void and somebody on the far side of the galaxy with a sufficiently sensitive instrument could read that message in real time; it would not take 50,000 years to get to him.

Think about it. You might even call that a sort of a "thought experiment", if you're into that sort of thing...
