I hear you. I read The elegant Universe hoping to find that String or M Thoery was not so ugly as I thought. It is hideous, and not very predicitive. It is more like a framework for kludges than a theory.

Whereas if this gravitational effect, which is visible to anyone with a telescope, can be linked to, for example, a theory of how gravity operates or is transmitted between masses, then you really might have something.

Thank you so much for your post!

It appears we are both searching for the principle of the universe which isn't just a "framework for kudges!" Personally, I think higher dimensional dynamics has a lot of potential. You might enjoy checking it out. If you do, please be sure to follow the publications option.
