There are no direct experiments on measurement of speed of
gravitational interaction. The supposition about equality of this speed
of speed of light is based on electrodynamic experiences. In difference
from mathematics, physics is an experimental science, for this reason
any supposition should have experimental confirmation. If it will be
interesting to you, I can offer a schematic diagram of precision
experiment for the system the Earth Moon for an experimental research of
this phenomenon.
In a far antiquity the steady sizes of empires were determined by
speed of response of the imperial military machine on threats to
integrity of empire. The growth of technical feasibilities of
civilizations evaluated in increase of speed of response of the military
machine. The increase of speed of response of the military machine
evaluated as a corollary in increase of the sizes of empires. Now there
are technical feasibilities for handle from uniform center by all
peoples on the Earth in global scales.
We can make the following conclusion: the size of the dynamic
system is determined by speed of dynamic processes ensuring it stablis
existence.
Now we shall consider two sorts of dynamic planetary systems: atom
of hydrogen and Solar system.
The atom of hydrogen has the characteristic size r=0.529*10^-8 cm.
Speed of light "Clight" is speed of dynamic processes ensuring stablis
existence of atom of hydrogen.
Let's assume, that the characteristic size of the Solar system is
distance of the Jove from the Sun R = 5.2*1.496*10^13 cm. The transfer
speed of gravitational interaction "Cgravitational" is speed of dynamic
processes ensuring stablis existence of the Solar system.
If to the characteristic size of atom of hydrogen r=0.529*10^-8 cm.
there corresponds speed of light "Clight", what speed of gravitational
interaction "Cgravitational" should correspond to the characteristic
size of the Solar system R=5.2*1.496*10^13 cm.?
I am sure that the speed of gravitational interaction is not equal
"C". I think that the speed of gravitational interaction exceeds light
speed "C" in many times.
If the speed of gravitational interaction is not equal "C", then the
extension of area of application of a principle of relativity fair in
the field of an electrodynamics on area of gravitational phenomena is
an error from a physical point of view.
=============================================================
The adherents GR are religious fanatics, since the direct
experimental confirmations of this theory do not exist.
" The Experimental confirmations" for this theory always are
extremely speculative reasonings.
