The cause of gravity—a concept (original) (raw)

The concept of gravity proposed by this article is based on the proposition that a subatomic substance called aether permeates space and all cosmic bodies that occupy space. The concept posits that aether flows from space into cosmic bodies and, at the same time, aether or its constituent particles, collectively ''aether,'' is expelled out of cosmic bodies into space. The movement of aether exerts ram pressure on any matter in its path. The ram pressure exerted by aether that flows into cosmic bodies is greater than the ram pressure produced by aether that is expelled into space. The difference between incoming and outgoing ram pressure is the force of gravity. The process is cyclic and never ending. Spatial aether possesses internal energy and this internal energy drives the flow of aether into cosmic bodies. Incoming aether impacts upon cosmic bodies and the impacts generate energy in the form of heat. This heat causes the expulsion of resident aether from cosmic bodies. The expulsion of aether lowers the density of the aether that is left behind, and spatial aether flows into the lower-density aether. Expelled aether proceeds into space, where it regenerates the supply and the energy of spatial aether. Aether that flows into the Sun is derived from a catchment area that extends well beyond the area occupied by the solar system. Thus, as aether moves toward the Sun, it encounters the planets en route, pushing them in the direction of the Sun.
