Of course not - but solar sails were once discussed as possible propulsion
methods for k00l space craft -- which would utilize (utter shock here)
PHOTON PRESSURE. :) However, if we were to assume that it is the flow of
charge itself that causes gravity, then that wraps everything up quite
nicely.

This, I definately like better. Charge exists everywhere, whereas vector
light does not. That would definately solve that "dark-side-of-the-planet"
problem right quick. Scalar charge flows continuously into the planet --
the amount of charge flow dictates the pull of the "gravity well", and the
planet/mass's size indicates the size of the pull. Gravity is thus not
necessarily "photon pressure", but simply being caught in the flow of
charge. (Sounds like something you said earlier - that about right?)
Yes. That definately works well. It's also likely that magnetic flux,
sound, and other energies also exhibit "gravity", but on a much LOWER
scale (one set of the rules for the universe -- since all forces are
derivative of each other, this should hold true - but it's also
unimportant).
Gravity-flow gradiants... now THERE's the real ticket...
