Einstein thought that gravity would be limited by the speed of light, since information is limited to the speed of light in special relativity.
Yet the refutation posted here states
So was Einstein wrong about the speed of gravity?
There are other experiments which seemingly verify that gravity does indeed occur at light speed:

http://www.policymic.com/articles/1...y-why-einstein-was-wrong-and-newton-was-right"The fact that the Earth is not accelerating toward the visible location of the Sun, but rather 20 arc seconds in front of the visible Sun (where the Sun will visibly be 8.3 minutes in the future) is very strong evidence against gravity propagating at the speed of light.
