Ken,
even if that's the case, we know that the effects of gravity are responsible, forces involved don't consist of particles and therefore are not travelling themselves. They would influence photons or wavefronts, but force doesn't "travel" as there aren't any particles involved.
so not sure how you mean "something else" must be going ftl.
