Voigt? It suggests that the current theory of gravity is rather like the idea we used to have that there was force 'due to vacuum', rather than air pressure. It proposes that the real cause of the gravitational effects we observe is not an attraction but a pressure. The concept is that a force acts on all bodies equally in all dirctions. When two bodies with mass approach each other, each shields the other from some of this force and the remaining forces propel the bodies towards each other. I don't know how it would be possible to test whether this was in fact how 'gravity' worked and whether it was possible to differentiate it from the current theory, as the two would appear to have identical observed effects. -- ~ Liz Tuddenham ~ (Remove the ".invalid"s and add ".co.uk" to reply) www.poppyrecords.co.uk
