Good story, RP, but blows things way out of proportion. I'm never bitter and as I said in the beginning it's not my intention to denigrate anyone, just to get a grip on what I thought was a good description of a mechanism I was looking for.

I operate in my own way and in bits and pieces, and apply my same methodology to Einstein et al., whose work have also been read by a few thousand. I'm sure if he was alive he would argue that my assessment has nothing to do with his theories, but he would be speaking to an individual who claims that one is equal to zero, so I wouldn't take it to heart.

It has been said that a wise man can make complex things simple, and I guess you're one of them because the proposition doesn't seem to be all that hard to grasp - space expands and matter moves accordingly to meet other matter instead of matter being drawn in towards matter, is that unfair?

You first started your response to me with "empirical," if I'm not mistaken, and air resistance is an empirical phenomenon that your mechanics precludes - with my point being that it precludes it as a result of your mechanism, and not through it being neglected.

So I understand and concede that the feather hits the ground at the same time as a mack truck, but drop them at the same time and the earth will not rush up to meet the feather which is inadvertently decelerated.
