Do you think that earthquakes transmit instantaneously? Why would they not have a propagation speed like everything else in the universe?

I assume they meant “propagation speed that is substantially slower than light in a vacuum” since that is less than 50ms between any two points on earth.

On the earth the speed of light as is good as instantaneous.
