Is there anyone interested in actually PERFORMING the experiment?
The biggest problem is getting the charge to accumulate at the speed of light. They cannot even achieve light speeds with the LHC. Em waves may travel at the speed of light,but the creation of that EM wave cannot be produced at the speed of light. To induce and remove a charge within 1 nanosecond is wayyyy out of my league. As far as the gravitational field traveling at the speed of light,magnetic ,and electric field's-well i do not believe that the gravitational field has a speed-->it is instantaneous. The reason behind my thoughts on this,are as follows. Light,magnetic,and electric fields all have a source,and a receiver. Light is produced at a source,and can only be seen when it reaches the receiver. Magnetic and electric fields all originate from a source as well,and can be detected only by receivers. The gravitational force originates from a mass,and only acts on another mass that also has a gravitational force. When you have two masses acting upon one another,and then one of the masses is removed instantly,then you no longer have any interaction between masses,and so no gravitational force can exist between two masses,as you only have one mass. The other issue is in regards to the earth orbiting the sun. This simply cannot happen,as you cannot orbit a moving mass. The path taken by the earth in relation to the sun is a helical path,not an orbital path. As there is a delay of 8.2 seconds for light leaving the sun,to the time it reaches earth,then that would mean the light would have a curved path,where that curve is equal to 8.2 arc seconds. The gravitational pull on the other hand,is a direct line from the sun to the earth,and has no curve. This alone tells us that gravity has no speed,it is just there,as long as there is two masses for the force of gravity to interact between. Brad
