I have to agree with my tutor (mentioned before). He spent his entire life as an Astrophysicist, working for NASA, studying stellar dynamics etc. What he said has always stuck with me. He said to me that light is transverse, gravity is quadrupole...it might not be able to be brought into the fold because it is a totally separate phenomenon. Why does it have be anyway (Rhetorical)?

There's also a problem facing modern science; modern communication. 100 years ago a paper would need to be writen-up, submitted and reviewed before it was ALLOWED to be published. Today you can send half-baked ideas to the New York Times and get 15min of fame...and then, fizzle!
