Yes, I am familiar with that analogy.
According to common thinking, the speed of gravity is equal to C, the speed of light.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_gravity
However, Isaac newton said that gravity acts instantaneously. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/gravity_speed_030116.html
Instant gravity violates Einstein's relativity, since in any frame of reference, gravity would be faster than C. This is supported by black holes. Since light is not fast enough to escape a black hole, yet the effects of that black hole's gravity can be felt anywhere near it.
If gravity followed Einstein's Laws than black holes would have no gravitational influence on any matter near them, since if Light can not escape them, then obviously gravity traveling at C, in EVERY frame of reference, would also not be able to influence anything.
I think Eintsein is incorrect here.
Also the analogy of the bed sheet implies that gravity also acts instantaneously, since the dimple is always there. If one were to say travel faster than C and encounter the dimple, there would not have been enough time for gravity to travel to you in your spacecraft at C, but I am willing to but a pretty penny that gravity would still be felt.
This would confirm that it is faster than c.
