Gravity not science but a view point

I posted this some time ago elsewhere and add it here for your entertainment please rip into the idea try and destroy it, tell me why it can not work or tell me I am a fool to even try to figure something as complex out with really nothing to go on other than my thoughts on the matter .I wont link it so as to keep the customers in this shop but it has had over 8000 robots scan it so far but I feel only two people are really reading it
Well I think the only path to fame and fortune for an alternative idea is to risk carrying the title of “crack pot” I submit the following in good humour and presented from the approach of an ex lawyer in the realm usually reserved for mathematicians. However both lawyers and mathematicians enjoy logic and this is the logic of a lawyer presented with a proposition to assess the clues before him. I have been careful not to make any giant leaps to abandon a reasonable logic however have abandoned all preconceived notions and conventional thinking relating to the subject .
I would like to represent the proposition that Gravity occurs by virtue of the pressure exerted on matter by particles radiated from every object in the Universe. There is no point in space that is not visited by a particle from every place every millisecond. If one sees the visible star light as a fraction of the particles and consider what we do not see it helps to understand the proposal. It helps further to realise that what you see is of similar experience through out the Universe.
I suggest the proposition that all the particles from every place manifests their presence by interacting with other matter in “pushing” fashion creating a fabric of “universal pressure” through out everything. Where two objects are in close proximity they shield each other from part of the pressure and therefore create an imbalance in the pressure such that it appears that each object attracts the other. They are effectively, if this proposition be entertained, being “pushed” toward each other. We make the observation that each object “attracts” the other and call such gravity. Our conventional thought from our experience is that when standing on the planet we are attracted to it and it is attracted to us whereas I suggest that each shields the other from the universal pressure, the effect resulting that each object is pushed in the direction of the other to seek equilibrium. To jump one is returned to Earth because of the need to maintain such equilibrium.
At any “point” in the Universe a stream of particles pass that “point” emanating from every part of the Universe that has existed to that place in time. Time being subjective in this context. In the remotest part of space we find that in every direction we see an object.. some close by some billions of light years distant. Every object spends particles into space in every direction to finally create a mesh of paths between everything. There is no line in any direction that is not carrying a stream of particles. At any point billions of particles from every object in space cross and this continuum is endless all particles passing through every “point” in the Universe at the speed of light.
If we could place two objects in open space at rest they would encounter immediately particles from every object in the Universe interacting with their “matter”. Any “point” in the Universe therefore becomes the centre of everything else that exists. On the surface of our objects every “point” of the surface becomes the centre of the Universe in respect of the particles arriving from all places. If we were able to place one object at rest in absolute space, without inertia of any form, the object will not move for the pressure will be equal at all “points” on (and in) the object. However place another object in proximity and its presence shields the other object thereby creating an imbalance in the “Universal” pressure of space between them. The objects will move toward each other to equalise the imbalance of energy created by the shielding one causes upon the other. We interpret the imbalance of pressure as gravity and draw the conclusion that there be a mysterious attraction between the two , the perceived attraction being called gravity.
The further the distance between the objects the less shielding occurs and the less the imbalance in pressure. When two objects are of sufficient separation and the effect of the shielding of one upon the other becomes less than the overall pressure from all objects and they reach a point where they will be forced apart rather than forced together.
This can be supposed to explain why galaxies will cluster in groups however groups that be at great distance to each other are forced further apart.
If we parallel the form of the Universe to a balloon the continuum of particles is similar to adding more air to the balloon and in this approach one could use the premise to explain the observed expansion of the Universe. If we consider each object as contributing continually to the “air” in the balloon we can surmise that the Universal pressure created by all objects may reach a point where the very edges of the Universe are forced to expand. If there is no expansion or growing of the size of the Universe it may be assumed that the pressure created as referred to earlier must maintain equilibrium by dissipating part of the energy continually being created. This may be the function of the speculated black hole. If a black hole exists it would provide the opportunity to reduce the pressure and maintain the presumed equilibrium by a continual consumption of particles. However if it is indeed taken that the Universe is expanding it may be to maintain a presumed equilibrium of pressure constantly being renewed as each object contributes its unending stream of particles.
There is no issue to take as to whether this pressure occurs from the presence of a particle (discovered or not) or the presence of energy however the proposition can explain in simple fashion how matter is suspended or accelerated in space. Speculation would see a very small particle responsible that can past thru worlds but occasionally part of their number interacts with the matter making up that world.
If one were to accept that such a pressure is in operation there would seem to be no need to have dark matter to explain observed anomalies in the behavior of galaxies when considered singularly, observed in a local group or observed as independent groups at great distances apart.
The action of gravity in such a fashion would better explain the unexpected observed speeds of outlying matter held in spiral arms. Such matter being at sufficient distance from the core of the galaxy is becoming more exposed to the overall pressure and as such demonstrating a behavior that can not be reconciled if a conventional assumption that gravity attracts is employed.
Gravitational lensing when approached with the assumption that space exerts its own pressure can be shown that an object will shield the path of light as it passes the object allowing an imbalance of pressure to arise and cause the light path to be pushed toward the shielding object. .
There is no need to attack the proposition as being at odds with any current concept for as far as I can tell there is in fact no explanation as to how gravity does work set in cement as it were. The matter has never been explained to my satisfaction or contentment using any current theory.. Nor do I think that any theory stands up and claims to have a definitive answer. Of course there will be disagreement on this point but one gets the distinct impression theorists have not put the matter beyond further speculation .
There is no doubt that the complexities of all other approaches contain proposals more difficult to present and at least as difficult to observe as any observation or experiment required to test this approach.
Although these matters are without support and mere supposition from the author all must agree that on the basis of OC’s razor this approach is the winner on simplicity. Without labouring on all thought exercises on the working of things if this approach is entertained to be correct and grasp a proposition so apparently at odds with our experience, it is delightful in its varied application and predictability.
