Yeah, gravity follows the light speed rule too. Of all the things found so far, we haven't found anything that allows you to send information or matter faster than the speed of light. You can make wormholes and move it at lightspeed to your target, but that's not really going FTL. You're just altering spacetime.

That seems to be an inaccurate statement. It hasn't been proven either way how fast gravity propagates. Hell, we don't even know what works to transmit gravity, or even why mass and gravity go hand in hand.
