To the innocent person who asked about the differences between
gravity having an infinite velocity and a velocity = c.

In addition to the rude insulting people and the fighting that goes
on that nobody could find even in the first grade of the worse elementary
school in the world, sci.physics is known not to have the best physics.
Would anybody fly on an airplane made by sci.physics?

If the sun disappeared, and if gravity had an almost infinite velocity,
the gravitational field would disappear with the sun.  If gravity moves
at c, it would take 8 minutes.

There are also differences between the shape and energy of the gravitational
field around things depending on if gravity travels at an almost infinite
velocity or c.  For example there is a difference between the gravitational
field of an electron antielectron and a photon.  Since a photon travels
at c, and since it emits gravity in all directions, if gravity moves at
c, the gravity emitted in front of the photon would be kind of moving with
photon.  Nobody in front of the photon would see the gravity until they saw
the photon.  Then they would get hit with the photon and the gravity at 1
time.  If the photon did not change directions and if the photon did not
interact with anything over a period of time, there would be a large amount
of momentum.  The gravitons would also emit gravitons, some in the forward
direction.  If gravitons travel faster than c, there would be a gravitational
field in front of the photon.  What would be the speed of gravitons are if
they are suppose to travel at c, but they are emitted in the opposite
direction of the photon?

The same thing applies to neutrino scattering.  The neutrino is suppose to
be moving a little slower than c, at c, or in my opinion a little faster than
c.  It emits ws and zs.  About 1/2 of the time, in the forward direction, the
ws and zs are moving faster than c.  Do they only scatter backward?  People
say that ws and zs are virtual particles, but you would fly on a virtual
airplane, even a virtual airplane made by sci.physics?
