What is the speed of gravity?

All present experimental evidence indicates that it is the same as the speed of light. This is based on the agreement of the predictions of Einstein's general theory of relativity with a variety of key experiments. If the speed were other than the speed of light, there would be a disagreement between theory and experiment which is not seen at a precision high enough to rule out gross differences of a percent or more.
