So, he was arguing (and he still does, obviously) that the attraction force between two bodies is actually a manifestation of push, resulting from flow of hypothetical particles (we called it "push_itron" or "pussitron") coming from everywhere, and effect of mutual screening of that flow by two nearby bodies.. So the attraction, according to him is just an illusion.
Obviously, this discussion is not over yet  |
Ewwwww !!!! (... oh boy ....).
I'm going back to Hoˇrava's paper !!
