Chinese scientists revealed that they have found evidence supporting the hypothesis that gravity travels at the speed of light based on data gleaned from observing Earth tides.

Read the full story here.

I don't buy it. sounds like a predetermined outcome before good science was applied.

Nonsense! It's orders of magnitude slower. Why, it's taken decades for gravity to cause bits of me to sag so much.

The Chinese developed this data from their secret base hidden deep under the surface of the far side of the Moon. Placed there, smoke from the coal fired boiler won't be visible from Earth.

They got there by turning off local gravity for the trip. Motive power was supplied by a big rubber band here on earth.

I'll wait for more proof before I buy my Hot Wheels Gravity Speed Gun.
