Gravity and Inertia

[kao] "Where is this missing info?"

Right here on this very Website. From the home page follow the Cosmology | Gravity Tabs to a list of about 10 papers that cover the speed and other properties of gravity.

I think those papers only set a lower limit for the speed of gravity, rather than actually measure it.

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong...

(No need for correction.)

The lower limit is currently about 20*10^9 c. IOW, while it takes 500 seconds for a photon to travel from Sol to Earth a graviton can make the same trip in less than 25 nanoSeconds. But we don't know how much less. Yet.

This value is set by the precission of our measurments. As our measurement precission increases over the years the lower limit will also increase until we begin to see numbers that are higher than zero (for travel time between two points) or lower than infinity (for calculated speed). At that time we will also be able to place a finite upper limit on the speed of gravitational force propagation. Then we will begin to work on reducing the gap between upper and lower limits.

Wy do not consider the atom with a star structure with rays (true, no virtual) going to infinite and not with electrons? in this way the atom is expanding to infinite. I think that many questions about gravitational field should be resolved. Excuse for my bad english: important are the concepts. Ignazio
