<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462379656731_2618">Thanks for your paper. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462379656731_2619">Your Eq.2 appears as a fluid flow. Please expand on your
treatment of the time derivative term. What effect would differentiate your
model with other models? How could the time derivative be effective in an
experiment? How would this term be different from merely proportional to the
gradient term? Is the time derivative term like an acceleration or velocity?</div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462379656731_2621">You suggest it would be effective at larger distances.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462379656731_2622">I ask because the existence of the time derivative term is
the most problematical part of my STOE. I consider the “space” (plenum) has a
substantive existence rather than being merely a backdrop for matter to play
its role. Therefore, it should have some fluid flow characteristics. However,
gravity potential seems to be only 1/r. In the analysis of galaxy rotation
curves, I used the gradient without the time derivative term despite the
outflow of matter (hydrogen and other stuff) on the rational that the time
derivative term was proportional to the gradient (not an acceleration). The
derivation of the photon trajectory in Young’s Experiment simulation included a
similar assumption where the term was a velocity (not velocity squared which
would render a turbulence in the flow) that rendered a description of inertia
of space (plenum).<span id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1462379656731_2623" style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></div>
