Gravity is not instantaneous. It moves at the speed of light. And the "speed of light" can only be measured locally, because the time and space at a point are curved. The path of light corresponds to "null geodesics" in spacetime, and a body traveling along the geodesic experiences no time elapsed.

It has a top and bottom that hinge together, with a potentiometer that is coaxial with the hinge so that when the pedal is pressed, the potentiometer is rotated.
