Re-read this and it struck me there might be a novel argument showing
why PULL gravity has been chosen over PUSH gravity.
Now, I don't know if I can explain this cogently or if I'm just more
confused than usual but here goes.
Take a flashlight and point it at a wall to produce a circle of
intense light. Move the flashlight away from the wall, the circle
gets weaker and dimmer because the same amount of energy is being
spread out over a wider area.
Now, the inverse square law applies to light and gravity and energy
fields in general.
If gravity were a PULL whose source was matter and whose intensity was
dependent on the density of matter, then its range of influence would
attenuate with density, precisely as predicted by the inverse square
law. IMO, this is the thinking that has us at such an impasse with
understanding gravity today.
However, if you consider gravity as being caused solely by a PUSH of
aether/zpe flowing from space into mass, then aether would be
strongest out in space, away from matter, meaning matter would be the
weakest concentration of aether and the inflow into mass would produce
the 'wind' we perceive as gravity that produces 'weight'.
Like fish in water we can't sense this pressure but we feel its motion
past us as it moves into the earth.
Block this 'wind' flowing with greatest force into the planet, holding
us like flies against a wire screen and we reduce or cancel our
'weight'.
