Experiment This Weekend To Measure Speed Of Gravity

Posted by timothy on from the ch-ch-ch-changes dept.

An anonymous reader writes: "Is gravity an instantaneous phenomenon, as we were taught in high school, or is its speed, like all other Einsteinian phenomena, bounded by the speed of light? A radical new experiment, proposed by Sergei Kopeikin, and involving the Very Long Baseline Array, is set to occur this weekend, and results should be known within about two weeks."

    Whatever the speed of gravity is, it is sure to be slower than the speed of stupid.
