Here is EMRP shot down in flames.

Hi Steven thanks for the link.
If I had to select a particle I guess I would go for a nuetrino but I suspect the possibility remains that there may be something out there ..a particle related to the e m spectrum..that will fit the bill... which we have yet to discover or speculoate upon.
I wish I could provide more answers than questions rather than merely hold a belief of a general way things may work... as I have said before somewhat as a joke...we start with an assumption that everything can be placed on a sheet of paper in simple terms..all our sums fit this bill.. as science has eliminated the aether science will find answers that will not enlist the aether..so our sheet of paper starts wihout a consideration of a fundamental..in my view ... if there is no aether the voids must be truely empty but of course they can not be so... energy from everywhere passes thru so they are not empty ..what we find in the voids should be universal one could think but at least in them we can not deny the obvious...there must be a pressure of energy or particles from outside... observation from anyplace in the universe must show energy reaching that point (any and every point in fact) from an almost infinite number of tradjectories... so even in the realm of nothing we can speculate there must be a pressure..be it energy or particles ..to me this suggests that such pressure could be universal and it is the flow of all energy from everywhere that may well be the prime aspect of space time..the building blocks of all fields in my view (unsupported belief) ..Also I do not see there need be any arguement between GR and push..in fact I feel one supports the other....but thats just me. I feel folk try to get one up on old ideas by destroying them to instal their own... I think GR is based on a flawed premise but still hold it in respect because it works so it seems.. also I think DrA was tinkering with the push concept when he was considering the possibility of a cosmological constant...and it was that which started me thinking... so blame him
As to any site I put for a link I do so because I find parts that are interesting... one error will not cause me to disregard the posibility small truths can still be found...
I have not been thi9nking about this stuff for a while which is good as I am standing back further than in the past... and I can now say... I dont know if push is right or wrong but I do enjoy considering all I find on the subject of gravity as I am more convinced I am just as ignorant as all humans when trying to work this matter out
.
Have a great day
