Okay, bear me out. I read the Van Flandern paper and I understood the experiments for the most part. Not being a physicist I struggled with some of the terminology as it is not part of my regular diet.

I have a stupid question. Why does gravity have to originate in the object - sun, planet, etc? I understand the idea that each object has a gravitational field but why does it have to originate from and be replenished by the object? Why can't gravity be the reaction of outside forces to the object?

Why does gravity have to be a pull and not a push? Obviously gravity does not respond to the rules that govern other forces in conventional physics. But the idea that there is a constant stream of ‘gravitational radiation’ flowing out of objects as faster than light speeds to replenish a field that pulls other objects in toward the primary object seems counterintuative.

Kind of related but maybe not really: For energy to flow from one point to another there has to be a potential, basically its motivation to move. What potential motivates gravitational radiation to leave an object and travel out into space?

I got lots of papers back in NNPS that came back with 'GCE' written on them in large letters. Gross Conceptual Error. I expect to at least get one or two of those from you guys.

Light probably involves a stream of subtron particles, gravity doesn't. What Sansbury claims gravity amounts to is a kind of an electrostatic field which is oriented a certain way due to stretching of the subtron orbits in the materials, in other words another kind of electrostatic dipole effect.
