Sure.
My point is this.
How does one object "tell" the other its details, such as presumably its mass, its position and by inference if its position is changing (velocity) and any other information that dials in the magnitude of this alledged force.
And does the other object send back a message acknowledging all that information and set out how they will interact with each other.
My view is that for a firce of attraction we need some mechanism that includes a thete and back communication...the gravity☺ of what I am trying to point out seems so simple one will dismiss thinking about it but the consequence of a there and back communication must suggest these communication take place at twice c if the overall responce is onserved, as it is at c.
And dont get me wrong our math for gravity is excellent I just look for how the force really works.
Anyways having thought about the difficulty of a supposed there and back communication U thought a kenetic interaction to be more reasonable...but one yhing at a time you may not perceive the problem I recognise and if so there is little point in suggesting a mechanism that would get around the problem of an attraction system...attraction requirumg a there and back method of communication.
