However, a single force can't literally have a speed.

To the best of our current knowledge, speed of light, constrains
the interactions.

| | body 2 exerts a force on body 1 that is equal in magnitude but
| | opposite in direction. However, what varies with the mechanics is the
| | delay between these two forces.
| | 1) According to Newton's Laws of mechanics, there is no delay between
| | the action and the reaction. Both forces are simultaneously equal in
| | magnitude and opposite in direction.
| | 2) According to Maxwell's equations, there is a finite time delay
| | between the action and the reaction when electromagnetic fields are
| | involved. The forces at different times are equal in magnitude and
| | opposite in direction.
| | 3) According to SR, there is a finite time delay between the action
| | and the reaction always. The forces at different times are equal in
| | magnitude and opposite in direction.
| |
| | When people are talking about the "speed of a force", they are
| | generally talking about the distance between the two bodies and the
| | time delay between action and reaction. In GR, the "speed" both
| | electromagnetic force and gravity is "c".
| | According to
| |
| | The speed of gravity
|
| Suppose I place two bar magnets on my desk just far enough apart
| so that they do not move, and any lesser distance will result in them
| snapping together. Let us call this distance D.
| I now tap the desk lightly and the vibration varies the friction between
| the desk surface and the magnets. SNAP! The magnets fly together.
| It takes a finite time for the magnets to move a distance D to a
| distance zero, so we'll call that t.
| When they were D apart, resting for an hour before I tapped, what
| was the speed of force between them?
| i) Everybody knows it was c
| ii) it was the speed of magnetism
| iii) it was infinite
| iv) obviously it is D/t
| v) obviously it is D per hour.
| vi) force is instantaneous, it doesn't have a speed.
| vii) Blind Judas Rosen doesn't think.
| viii) Duckfoot hasn't got a ****ing clue either.
| ix) Henry Wilsone hasn't got a ****ing clue either.

So the answer is the daft old ozzie sheepshagger
ix) Alf Baggage hasn't got a ****ing clue either.

As Captain of the Good Ship Newton, I ought to throw you overboard.
You are not even useful ballast.

Cite evidence or articulate a credible calculation, Ralph! Did you
forget that general relativity accurately models the gravitational
precession of the planets?

Silly old pommie engineer type question...

Probably the best indicator of the speed of gravity is the anomalous
precession of the perihelion of Mercury...



SR contradicts itself. Why try to defend any of it?

You repeat this often. Do you have any evidence of SR claiming rubber bands
contract?

Of course he doesn't. Wilson accepts what the fools say.

Bzzzt! Wrong again Ralph! Einstein did not introduce the cosmological
constant to make the orbits of the planets agree with observation.

Actually I don't know it. I'd be interested if you could show me where SR
claims all moving matter contracts, but I suspect you don't know it either.
