All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident: Arthur Schopenhauer -- In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth the humble reasoning of a single individual: Galileo Galilei -- Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it: Albert Einstein -- When you have eliminated the impossible, what ever remains, however improbable must be the truth: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle -- We all agree that your theory is crazy, but is it crazy enough? Niels Bohr -- Whenever a true theory appears, it will be its own evidence. Its test is that it will explain all phenomena: Ralph Waldo Emerson -- Since the mathematicians invaded Relativity, I do not understand it myself anymore: Albert Einstein -- I would say that the aether is a medium invented by man for the purpose of propagating his misconceptions from one place to another: W.F.G. Swann: -- Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone: Albert Einstein -- Physics is mathematical not because we know so much about the physical world, but because we know so little: Bertrand Russell -- If I could explain it to the average person, I would not have been worth the Nobel Prize: R. P. Feynman -- I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use: Galileo Galilei -- How dare we speak of the laws of chance? Is not chance the antithesis of all law?: Bertrand Russell -- Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I´m not sure about the former: Albert Einstein -- The glory of mathematics is that you don't have to say what you are talking about: Richard Feynman -- Anything is possible if you don´t know what you are talking about: Author Unknown -- In life, everything is relative - except Einstein´s theory: Leonid S. Sukhorukov -- Don´\'t worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you´ll have to ram them down people´s throats: Howard Aiken --A day will come undoubtedly when the ether will be discarded as useless: H. Poincaré -- First they tell you you´re wrong and they can prove it; then they tell you you´re right but it isn´t important; then they tell you it´s important but they knew it all along: Charles Kettering -- It is not once nor twice but times without number that the same ideas make their appearance in the world: Aristotle -- The opposite of a true statement is a false statement. The opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth: Niels Bohr -- A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it: Max Planck -- Euclid taught me that without assumptions there is no proof. Therefore, in any argument, examine the assumptions: Eric Temple Bell -- Half this game is ninety percent mental: Yogi Berra

Last Night Long Ago
a song by TD Coker
(inspired by by your papers)

Last night, standing in the moonlight,
Studying the stars and contemplating their flight
Last night, standing in my back yard,
Studying the stars and contemplating their flight
I saw you, smiling down at me
From a constellation
I felt you, open my mind
With new revelations...

Long ago, surrounded by dolmens,
Studying the stars and contemplating their flight
Long ago, standing in a stone henge
Studying the stars and contemplating their flight
I felt you, filling me up
With realizations
I felt you, changing my mind
With a transformation...

(Doodle doodle doo)
They say that we arose
From an ancient sea

(Doodle doodle doo)
They say we are composed
Of elec-tricity

The double helix that
Is inside you and me

(Doodle doodle doo)
Just like the double helix
Of elec-tricity

Positrons, electrons, swirling around
And making gravity, yeah
Positrons, electrons, swirling around
And making you and me, yeah

Positrons, electrons, swirling around
In the Aether sea, yeah
Positrons, electrons, swirling around
In the vortices, yeah

Positrons, electrons, swirling around
In the ancient sea, yeah
Positrons, electrons, swirling around
And making you and me, yeah…

Apparently, all the lyrics are too much for comment.
Thanks for the inspiration.

Very good. A point of order however. The electron-positron sea is what causes gravity to be irrotational, but it is not the primary cause of gravity itself. Gravity has a deeper cause. The electron-positron sea merely absorbs the curl out of the gravitational field. FDT
