Me:
I'd never thought Gravity was something that had a speed either.
Newtonian Physics describes it as an attractive force produced by all
objects with mass.  But as I understand it, modern-day physics is
still a bit perplexed about what Gravity is, at the most basic level.
Any takers on an explanation for Physics Dummies?
