I met a math guy... here in Drake... knows his stuff sufficient to work with him I asked about the math content and if he could make the sum up...we are trying to do something on the Sun's Corona by the way ...anyways he said and you will understand why I smiled when I saw your post.... dont worry about formuleas just make sure you have plenty of interesting photos...

And he reckons my view of the space time grid is correct..and I expect that is because I was able to draw for him my view..when I use words I dont think folk understand my beef with the blanket and the ball.... lensing as well one drawing and everyone will agree with my view as it is inarguable...

Actually I am having second thoughts about this math guy in Drake ...mmm if Bert does not take up my offer to complete the math can I get my people to call your people.

Dont tell anyone but I have met this really nice lady...and she is a book reviewer here in Drake... I wont say more as there are not many book reviewers here in Drake..

in fact she is it..


anyways she has done a Ebook and over a coffee at a mutual friends house we were able to discuss the ins and outs of book publishing..

She was good enough to proof read the stuff on the site Ron built for me but I have not implimented her suggestions...not a real good start maybe...

But she knows a lot of helpful stuff... she is only on her first e book so her experience is wonderful to have access to....

Well from reading the odd post and reply to posts you've made I have to say I am very curious about your gravity push theories.

As well as those of us with just a general thirst for knowledge... you could always consider the potential scholastic sector in terms of book sales... I've always thought it would be a decent revenue source if you could write even just one school/uni text book

Of course having said that I am currently in the process of getting things together to apply to return to study... hopefully they will let me receive a scholarship (or else financially there is no way I can do it... my grade is good enough in one sense but numerically I'm technically 1 point off being a valid candidate.)... if it all pans out I will be writing a thesis over the next three or so years... which I guess is more or less a book and I'm even feeling a bit lost for words writing my 100 word thesis proposal... so I know it can be a bit daunting... but just remember, even the longest journey begins with a single step

Maybe even without the maths... if as you say your diagrams can help people see the potency of your views then maybe just use a liberal number of those throughout to help people visualize your theory?

Well thank you for that I find everything most uplifting.
At the risk of posting another site...and remember this site is owned by a loyal member here and a friend to us all......Shawn...is our Gravity Push Universe...http://ravenshoe.net/bbs/YaBB.pl?num...5787/2382#2382

It has run way past its time with 2382 posts full of bad spelling poor gramer and verbose ramblings but thats one of the list of notes on the idea.

Ok... firstly Alex I will admit I did not go through the whole thread (basically the last 4 to 6 pages or so).

I suspect it may be worth considering your "gravity push" idea as something separate and perhaps symbiotic with gravity? (of course if that's how you've promoted it all along I apologise for not reading it that way).

I think I understand your general theory as being that with all the particles etc in the universe the interplay between them all must create motion/push? To me upon reading this (and again obviously only a mere fraction of the whole debate and such) it sounds like it would fit nicely with the basic Newtonian law of physics but not in place of but rather in tandem with gravity... if that makes sense? Gravity pulls on objects and as Newtonian law suggests your Push force then acts in equal and opposite proportions?

Of course this must all be taken with the knowledge that I didn't do too well in VCE physics and that was now over ten years ago... so my maths/physics understandings are likely to be dated and fuzzy (despite the odd refresher from science magazines/sites etc).

I also come from a philosophy background so in reference to a response you had on one of your comments on the linked site... I am probably more a theorist (which I believe Einstein, Hawking et al to be)... however I see theorists as the people who like to think (hopefully sometimes outside of traditional lines) and through their ideas the practitioners then have something to either prove or disprove.

Ok now I'm waffling on... it comes back to the point that I think putting your theory into a book would be a great idea (please get a proof reader though... seems to be a missing thing in literature these days... well some at least). I don't know if my suggestion of considering it a symbiotic/counter force to gravity is of any use... but hey can't hurt to throw a suggestion out there.

Good luck and hope the cuts (both physical and emotional) are healing well.

Alex, as far as the 'nuts and bolts' go I can recommend Lulu.com for on-demand online publishing.

I've just finished editing a 320-page softback perfect-bound autobiography, and the finalisation was relatively painless despite my fears: all text and images done in Word (not too much cursing and swearing at the program!); uploaded to Lulu after signing on; they create the PDF which you can D/L and check; select a cover or upload your own, click OK and it's done.

The Lulu covers are a bit basic ..but you can create a bit of artwork in PhotoShop or whatever (to upload as a PDF) if you want full control and a wrap-around cover (front, spine and back). There's even a calculator on site to let you know how thick the spine will be for a given amount of pages so you can get the cover dimensions right.

One further step (which requires adhering to certain publishing standards) is to have it ISBN'd and available on Amazon.

The book I did is here: http://www.lulu.com/content/2457923 Anyone can order a one-off copy for this or any other Lulu book (my one's USD16.95) and have it delivered to them in about a week.

We're all looking forward to reading yours!
