<div>As a convinced proponent of the error in QM (as first discovered by Edwin Jaynes) I cannot accept any explnation of instantanious interaction in terms of "wave function collapse." Bell's "Theorem" is simply wrong, and all similar work contains the same error. Entanglement is just correlation from a prior cause. No hokus-pokus! </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Further, I see no reason a wrench has to arrise by delayed Coulomb-type intereaction. Again, it seems the error here is the association of the wrong source-sink pairs. The direction of such interaction does not point to a position on a presumed past location in that the source is not moving relative to the sink in a straight line. There are intertwined spirals, which are stable. [The calculation of the involved force for the mutual circulation would also have to include the gravitational BXv (magnetic like) term, which I doubt has been done; correctly at least. See O. D. Jefimenko.]</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sorry, I just find much easier to beleive that mistakes were made than that instantanioua interaction makes sense.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Sorry Al, I should have used the term binary star instead of pulsar.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">We have experimental and physical evidence for <i>almost</i> instantaneous action, (the orbits of binary stars, wavefunction collapse, and the measured “velocity” of the Coulomb field, entanglement). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">The question is not whether this (almost) instantaneous action exists, but rather, what causes it?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">If gravity were a field which updates at the velocity c, then the idea is that the motion of the stars would cause the direction of gravity (the gravity vector) to point toward where the other star was in d/c time earlier, and not at the instantaneous center of the other star. But it seems that in all cases, the gravitational and electric field vectors of stationary or moving objects point toward the center of the object, regardless of distance or velocity.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Therefore my conclusion is that the gravitational field is updated <i>practically</i> instantaneously.</span></p>

Where whould the energy thereto come from or go to. What are you assuming so as to get the dissipative wrench action on the pair for delayed ineteraction but not there for instantanious interaction? How can whateveritis be justififed? Is the effect you propose seen in binary stars too? </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Hi Al</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">If we study the orbital decay of pulsars we can see two large massive objects with gravitational fields, co-orbiting.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">In this circumstance the gravitational field is not a stationary field.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">However, in this circumstance it is clear that the instantaneous force vector of gravity must point toward the instantaneous position of the masses or the orbits would decay MUCH faster than observed. So gravity cannot be a retarded force, the field itself must either have a distorted shape due to motion, or it must be instantaneous.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">I have run the requisite math to determine if a quantifiable rule could exist which causes field distortion which would create the appropriate force vectors. And there is no solution for distortion with motion which holds in all circumstances.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">Therefore my conclusion is that the gravitational field is updated practically instantaneously.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: Verdana , sans-serif;">For my part, it seems to me that for sufficiently symmetric conditions (a planet's essentially circular orbit about the sun, say) that a planet cannot distinguish between running into a gravitational field at a point, x say, where the gravitational field is at the moment of the planet's arrival at x that ommited 8 min earlier and sun-directed, or one emmited instantainiously 0 min earlier. They would appear to the planet to be the same. Thus, I doubt the argument that delayed gravitational interaction would execute an orbit destroying torque, which in my mind matches up the wrong source and sink events and doesn't make geometric sense. </span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: Verdana , sans-serif;">What I suspect is that gravitation is a residue of the electromagnetic intereaction (via a delayed Coulomb's Law) ultimately caused by the discrepancy in the weights of the positive and negative charge carriers and thus their random motion and distribution about each other. This would nicely explain why the speed of gravity is (should be) exactly the speed of light. While I can't prove it, I imagine that if either speed were instantanious/infinite, that the universe would lock up so that there would be no motion at all. That is, delay makes for dynamcis.

<div>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-size: 9.0pt;font-family: Verdana , sans-serif;">Hi Wolf, hi All,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">some time ago we had a discussion here about gravity. In particular about the question whether the propagation speed of the gravitational field is <b>c</b> or infinite. The problem behind is the fact that a finite propagation speed of gravity should cause rotating pairs of stars to permanently increase their speed, because the other star appears at a retarded position and so the force between the stars should have a tangential component. Our discussion ended at that time with the result that the Liénard-Wiechert potential would solve the problem.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">This was not very satisfying because the Liénard-Wiechert formalism is only about the field at a retarded time, and this description by itself does not solve this problem. I found that the solution is a completely different phenomenon. It is the fact (and as such well known in the physical literature) that fields like the electric field and also the gravitational field (our case) never show aberration. This is – according to literature – a well-known fact which is also theoretically well understood. But most are not aware of it, like me.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">Experimentally it can in the case of the electrical field be proven in the laboratory. And the motion of stars show it for the gravitational case.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">Do you feel that this helps?</p>
