Tom, your comments on my writing where immensely useful and appreciated. In return I would like to help you. I took your conclusion as you wrote it, and reversed the order, literally went from the ending backwards to the beginning which is now the ending.
Not saying that you as a scientist should write any differently than you do, just saying that a typical off the street reader likes to read it this way.
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">The following is the single, most important conclusion to be noted here, and would be true even if the geometric interpretation of GR could be shown to be consistent with all experimental evidence and with a gravity propagation speed of c. The mere existence of a viable alternative interpretation of the GR equations based on Lorentzian relativity, taken together with the continued experimental viability of LR, mean that the proof of the impossibility of propagation and communication in forward time at arbitrarily high speeds no longer has supportable experimental underpinnings.
Because of the belief that GR is based on the SR interpretation of the relativity of motion, which disallows the possibility of faster-than-light propagation in forward time, the most common interpretation of GR is that the speed of gravity is the speed of light. This interpretation is also based on a misunderstanding of the implications of aberration and confusion between the meanings of gravitational force variations and gravitational waves. However, the consequences of a propagation speed of gravitational force variations as slow as lightspeed would be catastrophic for many astrophysical bodies, as can be tested in even elementary computer experiments with orbits; and such slow variations are strongly disallowed by physical principles and by all existing experimental evidence.
The evidence from all six experiments that bear on the question of the speed of gravity is unambiguous in excluding answers as slow as lightspeed. A similar remark applies to the propagation speed of electrodynamic forces. The strongest of these experiments sets a lower limit to the speed of gravity of 2x10^10 c. All objections and questions about this conclusion raised during the last four years have now been addressed and answered. In particular, claims (championed by Steve Carlip) that such a result is inconsistent with general relativity are now shown to be false. Moreover, no serious claim of experimental support for gravity propagating at lightspeed has been advanced in modern times. Attempts to do so have seriously confused changes in gravitational force fields with gravitational radiation (an effect of changes in potential fields), the latter of which unquestionably would propagate at speed c, assuming it exists.
When a source mass accelerates, that induces changes in its gravitational force field. The lack of detectable aberration (propagation delay) for those changes means that the distant gravitational field accelerates when the source mass accelerates, in lockstep. To avoid direct violation of the causality principle, the propagation delay must be finite, even though much smaller than the corresponding propagation delay for photons. Because special relativity (SR) forbids propagation speeds faster than lightspeed in forward time, the customary interpretation of that theory is in conflict with, and is potentially falsified by, this result. GR has always implicitly recognized these facts through its equations of motion, which use instantaneous coordinates and momenta rather than retarded ones. That and its reliance on a single frame to define “coordinate time” mean that GR is based as much on Lorentz’s interpretation of relativity (LR) as on SR. These two theories, LR and SR, both employ the relativity principle and the same math (Lorentz transformations), but LR adopts a preferred frame and lacks the reciprocity between frames postulated by SR. Interestingly, no experiment testing SR or LR confirms frame reciprocity. Therefore, because LR is consistent with all experiments, it remains just as viable as SR as a model for the relativity of motion. It follows that the falsification of the SR interpretation in favor of the LR interpretation has no immediate mathematical consequences for GR. The main physical consequence is negation of the proof that faster-than-light propagation is impossible.

As Maxwell's equations are linear and homogenous in the vacuum (and with sources replaced by their advanced fields), the theory of modes work (a mode is a ray of the space of the solutions of Maxwell's equations). All fields in a mode depend only on a single, real parameter; the ZPF corresponds to the minimal absolute value of this parameter.
A source amplifies the fields, in particular the ZPF field; an absorber decreases the fields, possibly down to the ZPF, but not more (remember, however that the ZPF energy is not well defined : it is a mean value, so that the minimal field in a mode is not well defined).

Tom, thousands is not scientific verification. And who among the thousands is telling the truth? Were your comments taking a shot at what I believe? It sounded like it. So I shot back. I've been thinking about pushing gravity a lot, and I have yet to come up with an explanation in my mind. I still don't know what you mean by asylium, I know you mean Light carrying medium LCM, but what is it?
And the gravitons, where are they coming from? How can they be moving in alll directions? And if they can interact with masses, wouldn't they disdapate heat as they interact? Can you imagine the heat generated by a force moving the earth? All I have concluded about pushing gravity is many questions. Like, why push? And where are these ubigitious gravitons?
Tom, instead of interacting with my premise and refute it that way, you simply dismissed the whole thing as science fiction. Sarfatti does that all the time, only he uses harsher words. Maybe you haven't read everything I posted, but I point out several times that I use the word INSIDE of empty space instead of the constrining "dimension."
And I didn't come to the conclusion of an INSIDE by following some path down an alley, I experienced it. And after determining how much of those experiences were actual, I became convinced there is something else inside of empty space.
So it is very interesting and sometimes amuzing to read the thousands who have discussed this INSIDE. They have created thousand of names for the same thing. That's not very smart.
WHEN and IF we talk about dimensions, then there is evidence of a new dimension, the next in line is the FIFTH dimension. WHEN and IF we talk about original theories, then there is evidence of the Aether. And now you come up with Esylium, whatever that is.
Are you a physicalist? I think that you are being a scientist, and what I mean is that you have to be able to touch your subject. If you can't touch it, then you can't say anything about it. You can only say nothing. It is not scientific to extrapolate that fact to the assumption that if it can't be touched it does not exist.
I am a systemist whatever that means. I believe that the Universe works as a system. A system works together, and by doing so creates a relationship. This relationship is an interaction, not a thing. When relational elements interact in a system as a whole, new properties emerge like the wetness of H2O.
It may be that the Universe also have this
capability, and even the most accurate determination of the physical properties of these relational elements will not let us touch the wetness of the Universe.
Just like there is no mathematics which will illustrate the equation
(1,0)R = 10
The big bang gang will use their name forever regardless of what sort of theory they eventually end up with. And, it seems, we will forever have a thousand names for our theory. When really our theories are notthing more than facets of a diamond.
You cannot cite maxwell's equations because they were designed to be right.

Can you tell me what the difference is between Elysium and Aether?
Elysium is modern aether as required by Lorentzian relativity, wherein the preferred frame is the local gravitational potential field everywhere. It is therefore partially entrained by mass, unlike classical aether. The origin of the word was its phonetic association with "LCM", the initials for "light-carrying medium"; and because elysium in Greek mythology, like elysium in modern physics, is associated with "fields". -|Tom|-<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"></font id="quote">
I like this. However, how can you have a local gravitational field everywhere? Do you mean a field everywhere that in local stuations has these gravitational properties?

[tvf] " ... the preferred frame is the local gravitational potential field everywhere."
[Tommy] " ... how can you have a local gravitational field everywhere?"
I'm not sure how one can misunderstand this, but then if it were not possible there would probably be no such thing as "problems with communicating".
Try this re-wording: ... the preferred frame is the local gravitational potential field, wherever you do your measurement.
