The fortune teller is completely ignorant. *GR was built not because
with the speed of gravity in mind but a quest to find the holy grail
similar to the Poisson equation. *shrug

Check those shoulders, kookoo.

However, now that the speed limit has been lifted, we should ask
heretical questions like: "What is the speed of gravity?"
Since gravity dilates time, a better question to ask is how
gravitational time dilation itself will affect the propagating effect
of gravity. *Even GR is completely lost at this question. *shrug
This problem was considered by Faraday. It was obvious to him that the
electric waves and gravity are the same.
This is just not true. *Faraday only understood a quarter of the
mechanism that predicts light travels at the said speed of light in
vacuum. *shrug
All waves attract bodies.
Waves are manifestations of mediums --- the Aether as the medium of
light propagation. *shrug
