On The Transmission Speed of (Electric) Force

In /On Newton’s Cradle/ we discuss how energy is transferred instantaneously
through lattice-like configurations of matter, unlike the much slower
propagation via a force-carrier in the form of an electron/photon. We know this
is true, given Photo-Electron Equivalence Principle, and the rather-recent
experiment whereby light appeared to speed up by a factor of 312x when it was
shined through Caesium vapor. This is all well and good, but how fast is force
propagated through the vacuum?
There have been experiments which purport to prove that gravity “travels in
waves” that are not instantaneous. As above, so below, I contend. As gravity
is mediated by electric force then it is conceivable that electric force also is
not instantly transferred.
Let us imagine a lone proton which emits force every so often. Now let us
imagine an electron also pulsating force out from its center every so often over
time. I actually modeled this with my own physics simulator, and found that
calculating force every nanosecond (for instance) results in a rather curious
phenomenon. It turned out that the rate at which these particles interact (by
repulsion and/or attraction) sped up exponentially the closer they got to one
another!
So why do lattice configurations of matter propagate force faster than vacuum?
Because the matter that comprises this matrix includes electrons and protons
which are very close together, thereby reducing the time intervals of the forces
between each other. Let me use a previous paper in this (/Occam’s Razor/)
series. A torpedo is homing in on an enemy ship. The torpedo determines its
distance from its target via pinging it with sound waves. The closer it gets to
its target, the exponentially faster its pings return to the torpedo. By this
same principle, the overlapping force-transmissions from electrons & protons
transfer exponentially faster the closer the same are located to one another.
Therefore, the closer electric particles are closer are to one another, the
faster they will transfer force to other distant (electric) particles.
What does this imply? That the Newton’s Cradle phenomenon and the Inverse
Square Law are natural consequences of particles exerting force x over time.
This does not necessitate that this is the case, but it makes too much sense
(given the experiments and interpretations thereof) to disregard out of hand.
