In a gravitationally bound system, the gravitational field is nearly constant and does not propagate in the usual sense.

However, gravity restricts the speed of objects within its influence. The speed of light is determined by gravity.

In the absence of gravity, there may be no speed limit, as there would be no gravitational force to impose such a restriction.

A negative mass can repel a gravitationally bound body if it comes within the range of antigravity.

The rate at which it repels depends on the respective masses, specifically between the effective mass of the antigravity source and the gravitational mass of the object.

The gravitational field moves with the gravitating object at the same speed as the object itself.

The extent of the gravitational field of a gravitating object is limited to its zero-gravity sphere. Beyond this, dark energy prevails.

The interaction between gravity and antigravity can propel a gravitationally bound object much faster than the speed of light.

The effective mass of dark energy, which causes antigravity, is less than zero (<0), yet antigravity can repel a gravitational mass that is greater than zero (>0).

The negative effective mass of antigravity is greater than the gravitational mass, enabling antigravity to dominate.

Gravitational interactions occur between gravitational fields rather than between the masses themselves, meaning that a massive body does not limit speed—its gravitational field does.

Thus, in a gravitationally bound system, speed is constrained by gravity, specifically the gravitational fields. The speed of light is dictated by gravity, not the gravitating body.

Therefore, gravitational interactions may produce energy-carrying gravitational waves whose speed is governed by gravity. The gravitational field itself does not have an independent speed but moves at the speed of the gravitating object.
