Re: Newton's Gravitational Alternative ('Gravity may be a repelling force') Dear RP, The work you have done on gravity is extraordinary! Perhaps you will find interest in some of my own findings on the subject of gravity. I believe now that The General Theory of Relativity is flawed from it's foundations of the two postulates that Einstein started with: the principle of relativity, and the constant of the speed of light. I have much work to do on it yet and will hold any further comments until I have reached a conclusion. I will say that the equivalence factor that you refer to is the key ingredient to unifying fields as well as everything else. Equal is naturally TOE, do we both agree? I thought you might enjoy this bicycle story that I recently experienced. It has to do with gravitation. I’m an avid cyclist, and have logged many miles. I don't race, but ride only for exercise, enjoyment, and necessity; as I no longer drive a car due to obvious Earth concerns. When riding on an open road it is standard to be passed by another faster cyclist, as well as passing many others myself. Absolutely every time a bike goes by, there is a natural pull that occurs. It is both mental and physical, and I believe both equally natural. So powerful is that attraction, or gravitation, that I now believe the physics of bicycling equals the physics of gravitation; that two cyclist are equal to two particles of the science of physics. I will try to explain. I was riding the other day when a cyclist went by. I had just gotten started on a short 40 miler when he passed me. I decided to resist the gravitation and not catch him. I wanted to ride simply my own pace. Again, and as usual, I found I could not. I was being pulled or drawn by the momentum or inertia of the other cyclist, by a mysterious invisible force. He had gotten a little way ahead when a truck passed me. It was traveling faster than I, (estimated 30 mph, versus my 25) but again it wanted to pull me alone. There it was again, that force. I got directly behind it and drafted. Drafting is a well known tool of racing, riding in a vacuum of air. But is it truly a vacuum of air, or the force of gravitation? Rather than increasing my peddle speed, I had to brake. It was pulling me along. And what of the now distant other cyclist, surely it was to far away to create a vacuum, yet there was still a real force to recon with. Eventually the truck turned off and a short while later I found myself directly behind the other particle, cyclist. I experimented with this force for a while by separating myself and the other bike with distance, again and again. Each time I experienced this same force. I pulled up next to the other cyclist who I am sure by this time, must be thinking: this guy’s crazy.( sometimes I do too) I asked him if he liked Einstein? He said: "to a degree." I said, "Hmm, measure, degree__ that's relative." I told him that two cyclist traveling similar directions at relatively similar speeds were united by the natural force of gravity. Then added that we were simply two particle of mass drawn together by the force of inertia, or motion, which in other words is the force of gravity. That it wasn’t a vacuum of air but rather simply nature itself. He seemed to understand, and agree. He said his name was Tom. The road split shortly there-after, and so did we. I believe now that I have the empirical experience to define gravity. Gravity is the natural unification or equivalent force of everything. E (energy) = G (gravity) = M (not mass, rather motion, inertia) = E (everything) = Toe (truth). = MJA
