A few questions from a new convert

Michael

Just a note of very sincere thanks for your effort put in to your replies!

Very interesting stuff. I enjoyed reading the articles, and I am astounded by how much thought Wal Thornhill has put into all this!

Sorry I did not realise so many supporting articles were on the site,but I had found Thornhills explaination/ theory of gravity there before you posted, but the last (chronological) one you gave, was a sensational !

Kindest regards

Happy to be of help!

Yeah, there are a few article there on E-Gravity. Once put together into a larger narrative it seems to make a bit more sense conceptually. One of the pitfalls of trying to grasp the EU model in its entirety is the fact that articles ARE scattered over several sites, journals, newsletters, etc. So, it's hard to get them all in one place. But certain efforts are slowly getting underway to mitigate this a little bit. Slow going. About like trying to accelerate the aforementioned jello. But, once it gets moving, hopefully the momentum will keep it moving along...

No doubt experimental verification for E-Gravity is still needed. But I'd think one needs a good conceptual model before such verification can be pondered, let alone attempted.

As you say, Thornhill does appear to have put considerable thought into the issue.

Ohhhh!

The jello analogy was SIMPLY....... inspired........ ( should I say inspirational!)
BRILLLLLLLLLLi ANT

Thanks. I thought the jello analogy was pretty good. Though again, I don't know whether the deformation is supposed to be in the direction of the accelerating force (a stretching like a rubber band) or perpendicular to the accelerating force (like throwing dough against a window and watching it go splat [spreading out radially]). In contrast to a rubber band, however, Thornhill states that the more such a particle or atom gets deformed the easier it is to put more energy into deformation rather than acceleration. So rather than getting harder and harder to stretch out (like a rubber band), it gets easier & easier (like two magnets being pulled apart? [on account of the diminishing force between them]).

Hey Mike- regarding the 'electric gravity' ponderings... have you ever heard of that 'capacitor anomaly''?

I think there are even videos of it on Youtube- put a capacitor on a scale connected to a charge source, balance the other side of the scale so they're equal. Charge the capacitor and watch it get 'lighter' in weight.

Lots of speculation why that occurs, from anti-gravity to magnetic shielding, etc etc... how do you think that fits into the framework of the E-gravity idea?

Btw- man, you've got a knack for sorting info that I *seriously* don't have... I'm completely jealous

I haven't heard of the "capacitor anomaly," but I suppose might not be entirely surprised that charge distribution might affect apparent mass...

Got a reference?

Perhaps this will get kicked to NIAMI: If capacitors get lighter, when charged, does this work with electrochemical systems like car batteries? Hmmmm--they seem as heavy charged as when they are dead.
