I read an article recently about it, and I think I posted a link for fitz a month ago maybe. It had to do with observing the path of light as Jupiter swung past or something like that. I recall that the measured value was something like C +-20%, with the obvious correct value being C. Oh, here it is: http://www.nrao.edu/pr/2003/gravity/ It's interesting to consider the dynamics of things like fast binaries, or supernova explosions, given a velocity of gravity of C. That will make simulations all that much messier. I wonder if any conceivable terrestrial experiment could measure this. Who do you know at LIGO? Rolf? Jay? John

Rolf? Jay? > > John- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - That's great John Thanks! It's cool that Jupiter was involved... (the first speed of light measurment mentioned at the end of the article.) It wouldn't bother me if gravity was a bit slower than light. Ken Libbrecht at Cal Tech, brought us the diode laser experiment. (He also is part of Ligo) I got to go out there, do some work, and see some of the LIGO stuff. George H. |
