    Applying propigation of forces math to gravity to determine its "speed"
    seems very silly to me. I'd liken it to someone asking what is the
    velocity of the distance between say London and Manchester!

    Really I find it inconcievable how anyone could think of gravity as
    having a "speed"; gravity is a by-product of mass acting upon spacetime,
    so it's just "there"; it dosn't travel at any speed. It's spimply
    convinient to think of it as a "force" even though it isn't really.
