Tell this to all inhabitants of your planet specially to all those who told U cant travel past speed of light, because now RawThinkTank has found your planet.

He presents U the GravityScope. GravityScope consists of two pendulums that hang on its both sides in a straight line with a very very long string. To hang them in opposite directions of each other we have to place them in the L1 of the Lagrangian Points such that one pendulum is attracted by Earth and the other by Sun. Now look at Earth yes pretty Earth, if the pendulum is pointing in the direction just ahead of earths center towards the direction of its orbit then gravity is faster than speed of light as light will reach GravityScope just after earths center has passed by that point.

Gravity may be working like this…

Because nothing can escape a black hole so shouldn’t gravitons or the information of gravity to pull an object at it. Hence it is possible that somewhere in space gravitons are constantly generated and they are everywhere all the time like air molecules bouncing off one another. And get absorbed inside any matter working like a vacuum cleaner pushing smaller objects towards larger as the flow is more towards larger object. This may explain why gravity doesn’t increase in case of an solar eclipse or gets obscured by it. Atoms may not exist in a black hole proving that gravity works at a sub atomic level.

Hmm, I wonder if your GravityScope would function as you had hoped.
The pivot point for the two pendulums at L1 would remain stationary wrt the earth, but the two masses attached to the long strings are orbiting the sun at different distances and are not located at Lagrangian points.
As such, they must orbit at different periods wrt each other and the pivot at L1.

No matter what is said the points outside L1 are bound to experience gravity of earth and sun. The point inside will direct straight to sun, as its circumference is less at its side. So we can still use this technique. By that we will get a straight line pointing out in earths direction form sun along the pendulum and gravityscope. If gravity is instant then the line will meet somewhere away from earth ahead of its orbits direction as the light will reach there after over 40 seconds, all this requires astronomical calculations. If gravity is slower than light it will point it opposite direction of earths orbit. And yes if it points straight at earth then speed of gravity is equal to speed of light.

I am dumb so please tell me if there are any problems with this one. The original message in this thread is flawed because L1 Lagrangian points position itself is affected due to speed of gravity ie. It wont be in straight line with earth and sun if gravity is not instantaneous. Is it great that I am dumb and humans are not ? The original message in this thread is best applicable for equal massed binary stars.
