Naw, we have already confirmed that gravity propagated with a finite speed... the speed of light. There were some refutations, but they haven't held water. It was only a matter of time before we developed the technological sensitivity required to measure gravitational waves. Personally, I believe we'll directly detect dark matter within five years. We are so close to a grand unification, I'm all for throwing money at an "LHC v2.0" just to see if we can tease some new particles out at those higher energy levels. As a Texan, I still can't get over the politically-based demise of the SSC...gravitational information might be instantaneous
Yeah, I had been aware of PSR B1913+16, but didn't think it was decisive evidence of waves. This pretty much settles it. Dark matter is another one that I have been doubtful of, but now I'm starting to doubt my instincts. :)Naw, we have already confirmed that gravity propagated with a finite speed... the speed of light.
