Dear Chip,

thank you for careful reading. But your objections are in my view the 
result of specific preconditions in your view which are not necessary. I 
shall respond within your text.

The concept of exchange particles which I know (and so far have borrowed 
from QM) assumes that a charge is permanently radiating exchange 
particles to all directions. As they are understood to be particles they 
can fly through empty space without any problem. And you are right that 
the radiation of exchange particles is a permanent violation of the 
conservation of energy. So, I think that conservation of energy is not a 
basic law of nature but a consequence of the set up of particles. For 
example, my particle model is built in a way that it conserves energy, 
But that is, as I said, a consequence of the configuration, not at all a 
general law. And further, as a consequence there cannot be energy by 
itself somewhere in space but energy is a property of an object. There 
must be objects so that we have energy.

You address an important problem here: the exchange particle emitted by 
a positive charge must be different from an exchange particle emitted by 
a negative charge. I have asked several theoreticians of main stream 
physics just this question. The result was a bit funny. Some of them 
were confused and did not know how to answer, some said that there is 
never only one exchange particle but always a collection of them and the 
configuration within this collection tell the other charge whether they 
come form a positive or a negative one. - I for myself do not think that 
this is a workable mechanism. But I like better the idea that these so 
called photons are not the same ones as the normal photons carrying 
energy, but they are another kind of particle. - I agree that main 
stream is propagating an inconsistent model here.

Lorentz did not understand space as a medium. There was an interesting 
and detailed discussion between Einstein and Lorentz about the necessity 
of an ether. Einstein did not want an ether as we know, but Lorentz 
found it necessary to explain acceleration and rotation (which is GRT). 
And in this discussion it became very clear that Lorentz did not want 
anything more than an absolute frame of reference. Einstein's argument 
was that the equivalence of gravity and acceleration makes this 
unnecessary; which I find difficult logic. - The basic difference 
between the concept of Einstein and the one of Lorentz regarding SRT are 
two points: Einstein says that space contracts at motion, Lorentz says 
that fields contract at motion. The measurable consequences of both are 
the same. For dilation Einstein says that time slows down whereas 
Lorentz says that oscillations slow down; again there is no difference 
regarding measurements. - I like the Lorentzian way because it means 
physics whereas Einstein's way means mathematical abstractions.

What is a "gradient of space"? Space is something which we cannot 
measure physically, so it is merely a mathematical concept. The 
reduction of c in a gravitational field, so in the vicinity of an 
object, is clearly measurable (even though not explained by saying 
this). But if we assume that forces are mediated by exchange particles, 
it is easily understandable that the interaction of any kind of exchange 
particles disturbs the path of a light-like particle and so reduces its 
speed. More is not necessary. - You say: "The momentum of the energy 
circulation within the particle causes both inertial mass and 
gravitational mass". To my understanding momentum does not cause 
inertial mass but is identical to inertial mass, just understood in a 
different context. And what is gravitational mass? Which mechanism 
causes a mass to be attracted by another mass? I have never heart an 
argument why this should be. The reduction of c by exchange particles is 
a possible mechanism and so serves as an argument.

And the good point in my view of gravity is that this concept is 
extremely easier to handle. I have as a demonstration listed (from a 
textbook) the deduction of the Schwarzschild solution via Einstein. It 
is a sequence of > 80 equations which need Riemannian geometry (i.e. a 
curved 4-dim. space) whereas the reduction of the Schwarzschild solution 
by the relativity of Lorentz and the use of refraction needs about a 
dozen equations of school mathematics (so Euclidean geometry) and it 
yields the same result. Isn't this a good argument?
