by imposing logical congruence, between the diverse maps articulated by all of our “Blind Cosmic Elephant Seers”. Then we need to keep on iterating, from the foundation up, again and again and keep on refining the map of the body of the “Cosmic Elephant”.
No theory is ever going to be the final theory. Just like perpetual evolution in the cosmic system; we must accept that our theories must keep on evolving. But, unlike DNA evolution, building “corrective” features on the existing structure; we must re-structure
the foundational postulates as necessary from the bottom up, whenever we find the need for re-iteration of a working theory.

Newton or Einstein. We are now on CONTINUOUS and ITERATIVE evolution, where no working mathematical structure is so sacrosanct that it must not be discarded. In fact, I perceive that it is the staggering successes provided by our existing mathematical system
of logics, which is finally slowing down our creative exploration of the Cosmic Elephant. This current system is not giving us “God’s Equations”. All human logic systems must keep on evolving through challenges of the foundational postulates.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

system we refer to as reality. More on that below. (I also find myself in strong agreement with your views on 'the spacetime continuum'.)</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Hammond's view. More on this also below.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">Wolf, I understand your preference for considering the interplay of electricity and gravity/inertia; however, given that gravitation is an effect wholly
engendered by particles of matter, it seems most unlikely that we're going to understand gravity without getting a clear grip on those particles.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">The SR 'explanation' of gravitation as 'curvature of spacetime' is in fact no explanation at all - it says nothing about WHAT is being curved, HOW it's
being curved, WHAT it is about matter that causes that curvature or WHY light and material objects move in accordance with that 'curvature'. It's a useful picture, certainly, but in terms of explanation it appears to add little to Newton's action-at-a-distance
(other than relativistic effects).</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">Fact (1): It's known (and has been since at least 1934) that particles of matter are (time-varying) electromagnetic constructs.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">Fact (2): Given fact (1), and given that electromagnetic field effects drop off inverse-quadratically in relation to the distance from their source, it
follows that material particles will have a presence that likewise drops off as the inverse square of distance; that presence is detectable - we refer to it by two names: gravitation and electrical charge.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">Fact (3): In this very real sense every particle of matter is in fact unlimited spatially in its extent; the limitations that we attribute to such particles
are in fact limitations of our own perception, which is only capable of detecting them through 'virtual photon' interactions, which are interactions between the central 'cores' (loops) of particles being sensed and particles doing the sensing.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">Fact (4): Given facts (1) - (3), it follows that the whole of space will be permeated by the totality of (time-varying) electromagnetic field effects
from all the particles in the universe, each contributing in accordance with the inverse square law; given also the evening out of 'positive' and 'negative' charge effects on a macroscopic scale, these field effects constitute what we refer to as 'the universal
gravitational field'.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">Fact (5): That field will vary in intensity in accordance with distance from the various massive bodies that form it; this varying intensity of electromagnetic
field effects will influence the behaviour of other electromagnetic constructs passing through that field, i.e. ensembles of particles that form massive bodies; (it is implicit in this, of course, that the principle of coherent superposition of linear photons
won't apply to these non-linear time-varying electromagnetic field effects - i.e.they will influence each other through a complex process of mutual interference).</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">Fact (6): This varying density of field effects will give this continuum a 'shape' defined by the surfaces of equal intensity of those effects; these
3-D contours will effectively determine the motion of electromagnetic constructs - light, particles - through that medium; (any scuba diver who has seen or felt a thermocline in water will have a good analogy to work from here).</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">Fact (7): It's implicit, and would necessarily be the case, that, although electrostatic charge 'cancel out' if they are equal and opposite, the electromagnetic
field effects giving rise to those charges will in fact be additive across the cosmos; likewise, though gravitational 'pull' from opposing directions may appear to cancel out, there may still be a strong gravitational field in that location - think of a plateau
high on a great mountain, with a small hillock on that platea.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

of gravitation - then our species is at very serious risk of imploding and taking much (most?) of life on this planet with us. For the past century or more we've been looking inward rather than outward; humankind is essentally an outward-looking race (the
very word 'race' implies that!), and without somewhere to look outward TO we tend to flounder and bicker - just look around the planet today! The world is so vastly overcrowded now, and set to be increasingly more so, with numerous environmental issues to
compound the problem. We need new horizons, new frontiers, more than we ever did in the time of Vasco de Gama and Columbus!</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">That's a major reason why I've offered my proposal on gravitation for consideration. If we don't crack this one, VERY soon, we may run out of time, lebensraum
AND the ability to deal with the pressure-cooker environment we've created for ourselves. David Attenborough is proposing that we seriously limit population growth; the Chinese have tried that and it didn't work - and it never will; the 'prime directive'
built into our makeup by evolution is procreation. Our planet is like a dandelion head full of seeds ready to fly - we've even been exploring the heavens around us for places to fly TO! What we need now is the way to do it; I earnestly believe that the way
to do it is there in a greater understanding of matter, space-time and gravitation - but not as long as the established scientific community insists on hanging on to outdated paradigms and doggedly refuses to even look at things from a new perspective.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:windowtext"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">There appear to be very strong reasons to believe that gravitation is in fact an EM effect. If one starts from the premise that elementary particles
are themselves electromagnetic constructs then it's almost a foregone conclusion. That premise was strongly evidenced by Landau & Lifshits in Sov. Phys., 1934, reinforced by Breit & Wheeler later that same year and proved beyond all reasonable doubt at SLAC
in 1997 by Burke et al. (Phys Rev Lett 79, pp1626-9).</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">It's at times somewhat paradoxical to me that physicists (present company excepted!) all too often go looking for complicated explanations when there's
a simple one staring them in the face. If one simply sees the force of attraction between unlike unit charges as being minutely greater than the force of repulsion between like charges - and there's no known reason why they should be identical (in fact it's
likely that they won't) - then gravitation drops out totally naturally as the difference between those two effects. This would seem to sit well with Occam's razor since it eliminates the need for one otherwise totally unexplained cosmic force at a stroke.
We know that every nucleon is made up of a mix of particles of opposing charge (quarks) to give an overall charge; it seems eminently likely that even those quarks are formed from energies that, taken separately, would give rise to either positive or negative
charge elements to give the overall charge for a quark - this links the gravitational effect of a particle directly to its total energy content and so to its total mass.</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">I've attached a copy of my paper, published in 'Kybernetes' five years ago, that details this proposal for gravitation. You'll see that it posits the
notion that space(-time) has a 'texture' (also explaining its 'stiffness' and the 'curvature of spacetime') given by the summation of all time-varying EM field effects emanating from all of the material particles in the universe - this of course draws on the
fact that electromagnetic fields are unlimited in their reach (and electromagnetic potential is unblockable - Aharonov-Bohm Effect), i.e. that what we experience as a localised particle is just the 'core', so to speak, of an electromagnetic field effect unlimited
in its extent. The (-time) in brackets above reflects the fact that this 'texture' of this 'neo-aether' is continually varying as celestial bodies (and groups of celestial bodies) are themselves in continuous motion, so also is their contribution to this
'textured' continuum.</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">I'd be most interested in any feedback on this proposal, including of course any clear reasons (if any such exist) why it may not be a feasible proposition.
You'll note that this concept includes a pretty thorough explanation for every aspect of the Equivalence Principle as included in GR. There's also the strong implication that the gravity waves recently detected are themselves electromagnetic constructs (since
the fabric of spacetime is itself EM in nature, and so susceptible to being 'shaken like a rug' by such waves); this may have something to say to Beverly's field of interest, since tidal forces are themselves in a sense a pale shadow of gravity waves.</span><span lang="EN-GB"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
