Finiter, I think you are confusing to different things here. You are talking about G. G in standard physics is the universal gravitational constant, which you say is so. But then you talk about the measured value of G. In standard physics G is not measured. G is a calculated value based on observations of the interaction of various masses.

Strictly speaking G is the proportionality constant in the mathematical formulation of Newtons law of gravitation.

F = G*(m1*m2)/r^2

So given 2 masses of known value at a known distance apart you can measure the force between them and calculate G.

Also of course this value has been found to be constant for all measurements, including those on Earth and those at large distances from the Earth. It appears that you are speaking of the force between bodies as G. This is incorrect. Of course this doesn't matter, because from what you have told us in this thread your theory is incapable of providing a better explanation of the working of the universe than existing accepted theories, and therefore we can from hence forth ignore it, which is what I plan to do.

C is not the speed of light in a vacuum.
C is the universal speed limit.
