Extract

The approximate value of the world invariant at a point in a plane containing a rotating cohesive system such as a rod is calculated for a point at great distances from the system. It is found that the invariant has a stationary value when the rod is seen to be pointing towards the point in question. It is concluded that the speed of propagation of gravitation is the same as that of light.
