I said Obama had no gravitas. Now they elected him and the entire universe is flying apart.

I have no doubt that gravity is a spacetime phenomenon. My question is, however, what is it about mass that generates this phenomenon? ... Could it be that mass is an accumulation of temporal quanta? Isn't a particle merely a little bit of space and a smidgen of time wrapped up with energy? If the warping of spacetime is what gravity is, why have we left the temporal accumulation out of the reasoning?

Ummmm. I may check this out the next time I fly my Cessna Skyhawk. I'll let you all know if I keep flying when I pull the power back to idle.

Any changes to theory will still have physics and astronomy being incompatible with the notion that the universe was created 6,000 years ago (or 10,000 or anything less than billions of years).

The money quote:
“it is conceivable that we have completely failed to comprehend the actual physics underlying the force of gravity”....”.
Give the man a prize for understatement! We may not be able to fully comprehend how gravity works. So far the descriptions have fallen short and describing a thing is not the same as understanding it, a start, yes, but not the same.
If the nature of gravity is not completely understood it's not surprising theories based upon our very imperfect and limited understanding prove to be faulty.

OK, bottom line - does this mean that the next time I step on the scales I will weigh less?

I firmly believe that the terms “dark matter” and “dark energy” are gonna sound awfully foolish at some point in the future.
Let’s face it, they’re made up concepts to reconcile the failings of current understanding.
Not much more than alchemy in that sense...

Gravity is not just a good idea. It’s the law!

LOL!
What’s the “Theory of Cosmology”?
And Newton was overturned in 1915. The problems were recognized back in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Creationists were too busy keeping people from putting up lightning rods to notice.
