The Speed of Gravity in General Relativity and Theoretical Interpretation of the Jovian Deflection Experiment

Abstract

Recent measurements of the propagation of the quasar's radio signal past Jupiter are directly sensitive to the time-dependent effect from the geometric sector of general relativity which is proportional to the speed of propagation of gravity but not the speed of light. It provides a first confirmative measurement of the fundamental speed of the Einstein general principle of relativity for gravitational field.
