I don't know that pull gravity has shown any more evidence than push theories. They'd behave mostly the same.
What about the drag force mentioned on WP?

So you're conceptualizing this push-gravity as a type of radiation that is blocked by mass where more mass = more blockage?

Essentially. I'd lean towards the most elementary particles being the ones that absorb it to some degree, or are affected by it. Whether it's the radiation actually running into matter, or possibly just interacting with it by passing close enough by, I don't know. Just thinking out loud.
 
Sorry. Just making sure I'm not having a nightmare.

PF is entertaining discussions on push gravity?

What's next? Calls for submissions of PMMs?

I know, this is all speculation, but that's what science does, it thinks, looks at evidence, makes predictions, tests those, thinks again, etc...
True, but that's not what PF does. We don't generate new science, we teach existing science. Thread locked.
