Like as in if the Sun would go away in a "Nano-Second", would the earth and the other planets immediately be thrust out do to inertia? Not 8 minutes later. Saw this on "Nova" TV last night, they had no real answer to this.

Gravitational waves travel at the speed of light, so they are equal.
If the Sun suddenly disappeared, the Earth would stay in its orbit for
8 minutes, at which time it would take off in a straight line tangent.
Remember, if gravitons do exist, they are expected to be massless
bosons, and massless particles ALWAYS travel at c.
