Albert Einstein was wrong. Because of that fact we have been held back and misdirected in our search for gravity waves for years. Einstein’s theory states that all EMF (electromagnetic force) travels at the speed of light (300,000 km/sec).
To suggest that Einstein was wrong about anything today is sacrilegious. However, let us consider the King Cnut the Great effect. You remember him. He was the Viking King that sat on the shore and ordered the tide not to wet his royal robes. It did not, of course, and this proved to his camp followers that he was not infallible. His objective was to get his followers to take some responsibilities themselves. Here is your chance to be King Cnut.
While sitting on the beach, with the moon directly overhead, where is the tide? It is two (2) hours past slack and on the ebb. If Einstein was correct, (that all gravity traveled at the speed of light) the tide would be high at the time the moon was directly overhead. Instead it is observed (2) hours past the high.
In order to make any since of this phenomenon, the gravitational force from the moon would have to have been emitted twenty six (26) hours previously. Therefore: 250,000 miles (the distance from earth to the moon) divided by 26, the number of hours gives us 10,000 miles per hour, the proposed velocity of the gravity wave that affects the tides on earth. If this theory proves out and is accepted. It would free theorists to think “outside the box”.
Einstein’s theory is a great accomplishment but we should not march in “lock step”, rather we should build on it. Once gravity is fully understood it will fit into Einstein’s theory (except that speed of light, EMF thing, of course).

Gravity as a Wave Form
This is a place for discussing theories of Gravity as a Wave form, and whatever else I feel like saying to the world.
