    <p>Wolf,</p>
    <p>regarding the <i>speed of gravitational influence</i>:<br>
    </p>
    <p>I have looked into the mentioned paper of Van Flanders in 1998
      and particularly his arguments why gravitational influences must
      propagate instantly, not at the speed of light. I do not follow
      his arguments because he has overlooked an important point.</p>
    <p>His argument (also that one cited from Eddington) is: If the
      speed of gravitational propagation is limited (e.g. to c) then in
      the case of two celestial bodies each body would not see the other
      one at its actual  position but at a past position. This would
      destroy the conservation of momentum. -  However, this is not the
      case. <br>
    </p>
    <p>One simple example to see that this argument cannot be true. We
      can imagine a set up of two <i>massive </i>bodies which orbit
      each other and which are bound to each other by an electrical
      force; this is easily possible by putting an appropriate
      electrical charge of different sign onto both bodies. Also the
      electrical force is, as we know, restricted to the speed of light.
      But it is very clear that this set up would keep the momentum of
      both bodies and would steadily move in a stable way.<br>
    </p>
    <p>How does this work? The phenomenon is the so called "retarded
      potential". It has the effect that, even though both charges are
      seen at a past position by the other charge, the force vector
      points to the <i>actual </i>position of the other one.</p>
    <p>If we now assume that gravity is a force (independent of what
      Einstein talks about curvature of space), then the same rules of
      retarded potential apply to gravity. And so there is no change of
      momentum even though the effect of gravity is limited to the speed
      of light.</p>
    <p>Does this provide some clarification?</p>

      <p>I think the "where is the evidence" argument is no longer
        powerful because so many things happening in physics have little
        or even contradictory evidence. I'm just reading Van Flanders
        1998 "the speed of gravity" Physics Letters A250 1-11 which
        makes a good case for gravity influences influences moving
        instantly - not at the speed of light. <br>
      </p>
      <p>However I like your idea of only interactions - in fact I'm
        developing a theory along those lines by modeling nothing as an
        empty page and requiring material formatting of the page as an
        explicit field of space cells. This still allows fields as a
        shortcut for calculating  interactions from multiple distant
        cells, but nothing remains nothing, if there are no cells to
        host interactions i.e. sources and sinks, then there is no
        influence propagating. It takes some material to propagate
        influences. <br>
      </p>
      <p>I would be very curious to read how your "one way out"
        formulates this problem. <br>
      </p>
      <p>One of my hang ups is that any visualization of material basis
        for space implies a kind of permanent structural relationship
        between sources and sinks - but objects do seem to move fairly
        fluidly from place to place. Do sources and sinks move in your
        vision, If so what do they move in?</p>

            <div>Challenge for proponents of fields (all kinds: E&M,
              Gravity, Tension, whatever):  If the universe is finite,
              then the field sources on the outer rind will be pumping
              field energy into the void, the material universe would be
              cooling down, etc. So, where is the evidence for such?  If
              the universe is finite but topologically closed, then it
              will have certain "Betti numbers" for various forms which
              will be closed, (see: algebraic topology texts), again
              there should be some observable consequence from the these
              closed forms.  So (again) where's the evidence?   Granted,
              current tech may not be up to the task; but that would
              imply that field theories have to be reduced in status to
              be virtually religion.</div>
            <div> </div>
            <div>One way out:  there are no fields, but interactions
              between sources and sinks.  Where one is missing, there's
              nothing!  In particular nothing emminating from sources
              without regard for target-like sinks.  Advantage: the math
              works out without internal contradictions (divergencies,
              etc.).  Another advantage: from this viewpoint, there are
              no waves, and associated divergencies.  They are just
              cocek the ptual Fourier components for the interactions.

                          steady and continuous tension field in which a

                          wave. What is the velocity of GW and what are
                          the corresponding tension and restoration

                          velocity as “c”, for the EM wave; then <b><i>we
                              have some serious confusion to resolve</i></b>.
                          Are the tension and restoration parameters
                          same as those for EM waves? Then, why should
                          we call it GW; instead of pulsed EM waves? Or,
                          <b><i>are the two parameters really physically
                              different for GW</i></b>(should be); but
                          GW-velocity number just happens to coincide

                          Einstein’s explanation for the origin of
                          Gravity as the “Curvature of Space” literally,
                          as the Potential Gradient generated around any
                          assembly of Baryonic Particles. So, a pair of
                          rotating binary stars will generate a
                          periodically oscillating potential gradient.
                          Whatever the value of the effective gravity of
                          a “stationary” binary star around earth is; it
                          would be oscillating slightly when the
                          “stationary” binary stars start rotating
                          around themselves. But, this is not Gravity
                          Wave to me. It is a phenomenon of “locally”
                          changing value of the “curvature of space”;
                          not a passing by wave. Imagine the typical
                          “trampoline demo” for Einsteinian gravity with
                          a heavy iron ball at the depressed center. If
                          you periodically magnetically attract the iron
                          ball to effectively reduce the trampoline

                          (c-squared)=(1/Epsilon.Mu). These properties

                          We can alter the frequency of a physical
                          oscillator by changing its physical
                          environment. Of course, this is my personal

                              the main objective of this forum as this
                              would advance real progress in physics out
                              of the currently stagnant culture</i></b>.
                          While we have not come to realize any
                          broadly-acceptable major break-through out of
                          this forum; we definitely have advanced our <b><i>collective
                              understanding</i></b> that <b><i>space is
                              not empty and the particles are some form
                              of emergent properties of this same
                              universal cosmic field.</i></b> This, in
                          itself, is significant; because the approach
                          of this group to particle physics is
                          significantly different from the mainstream. I
                          definitely see a better future for physics out
                          of this thinking: Space is a real physical
                          field and observables are manifestation
                          (different forms of excited states) of this
                          field.</span></p>

                          SPIE conference series, which was continuing
                          since 2005, has been abruptly shut down
                          without serious valid justifications
                          (complains from “knowledgeable people” that
                          “bad apples” have joined in). We certainly do
                          not want something similar happen to this web
