Sorry for not taking more time this morning, but I will be terribly busy today. Sigh!

Aw Man! I can't believe I read that entire paper and believed it! Crap! I am now officially pissed off!

Thank you RadioAstronomer for pointing out the crank.

Your links are most enlightening.

I have had some time to peruse your links. I think I get the general gist of it, but I still think this guys theory asks a few pertinent questions.

I know, being a electrician and working with magnetic fields that they are certainly not instantaneous. In fact we can see the field collapse and expand and see it propagate.

I don't think we have this visibility into gravity however.

It could be our math. Not being well versed in mathematics, I cannot say for sure, but we seem lacking in gravitational math that transcends and fits well with other math disciplines.

I really don't know what gravity is, exactly. And I don't think we can explain it with "dark matter", "Aether, or whatever, which breeds these off the wall theories.

I do believe that when we do....it will mean a huge change in possibilities for interstellar travel. At present we are only playing with the effects of gravity and seem to have a good handle on that.

But we are like infants play in the tub with our rubber ducky's at present.IMHO.:-)
