Re: Gravity Carrier - could gravity be push with shadows not pull?

Without inventing an "i-graviton" the idea has been put forward by a
late collegue of mine Dr. Istvan Vas of Hungary, in the early 1950s.
He spoke about a "push" without identifying its nature - as a force, because
a general pull is 'counterproductive' an difficult to explain, as Newton's
concerns showed. Dr. Vas identified the imbalance in the shadows caused by
mass resulting in vectors identified as gravity.

At that time the commi authorities barred communication of ideas to the
West, so he could not get international discussion on his quite well
developed theory. Domestic discussion was not visionary enough under those
political conditions then.

I communicated Dr. Vas's theory on the internet several times and to diverse
lists since the early 90s. I find it a reasonable (naive) solution to the
"naive" problem of gravitation. I could not check his math, others found it
in order. It would be hard to unearth his 50year old publication
in some local Hungarian paper.
Cheers
