Woops, the first mistake in my diatribe and one I know has Hal Puthoff
squirming (sorry Hal)....I mistakenly called Dr. Rueda, Alfred, it is
Alphonso...SORRY...
As an indication of just about 30 minutes of searching on the net, you
might want to read their excellent, ground breaking paper (which I could
not find on the net);
Inertia as a zero-point-field Lorentz force, B. Haisch, A. Rueda & H.E.
Puthoff, Physical Review A, Vol. 49, No. 2, pp. 678-694 (1994)
as well as the following papers...do you remember what I said about
short attention spans of your readers..<g>..

====================
As you can see, there are plenty of theories and some evidence that
space does in fact resist motion and the ZPE and ZPF theories are
attempts to explain (to paraphrase Clinton) just what Space IS?
A couple of interesting ideas about dilatancy I think apply quite well
to this, but I doubt you'll look at them, however they are at;

I definitely digressed from the apology for the mispelled name, but I'm
just trying to show you this isn't a game for us.
