Testing the Speed of Gravity

BBC news is running this story on a new experiment to test one of relativity's predictions about gravity. Specifically, if it has a "speed", and if so what that speed might be. I don't know where I got it, but I was under the impression gravity was unique in that its effects propagated instantly across space-time. Ah well, probably why I should stick to anthropology and politics... harder to fact-check those!
