I hope you do not mind.
To get the thread back on topic I needed too update your original idea.
As I have put conjectures forward I would not want to say anything negative.Mikhail wrote: ↑Sat Feb 12, 2005 4:11 pm I have an idea that concerns gravity.
It is my opinion that gravitation is the result of mater being recycling in the Universe.
To explain:
1. The stars emit particles and electromagnetic radiation like light (and others parts of the spectrum).
2. The reddening of light, which warm us, from the galaxies as they move away. This is explained by the reduction in the frequency of their photons over distance (and not by the effect Doppler).
3. The reduction effect is caused by dissipation and because of friction that causes a reduction in speed over distance.
4. The presence in space of cosmological radiation, with low speeds, is a consequence of their dissipation in space. Again because of friction that causes a reduction in speed with their distance.
Therefore photons of light, thus slowed down, until their speeds become relatively low.
This constitutes dark energy (or the missing mass) of the Universe.
An alternative description
The vacuum of space is not empty, but is filled with particles and energy.
This substance resembles that of a ideal gas (or liquid), in which matter can move without friction.
Note. friction (friction is proportional to speed), but friction does not reach zero.
5. This substance is recycled (transformed) into matter within the interiors of stars (and perhaps - planets) and other massive bodies of the Universe. They are the large "consumers" of this substance. With the help of great pressures and temperatures within their interiors, they recycle (transform) this substance into matter.
This flow creates an uninterrupted current, at very high speed (?), from the substance that makes up space. This warms the centres of stoles and planets.
The speed of this substance, while going through matter, is slowed down. This braking (resistance) - creates the force of GRAVITATION.
6. The other "consumers" of this substance are the elementary particles.
I do not understand why yet. (It is a step into the elementary sub-atom world).
Always keep an open mind.
You did get me thinking with point 2.
We are told that space is not at absolute zero kelvin of (-273c) but -270c.
This is the result of the extreme high frequency photons being converted down into the infrared.
So in principle large mass in space emitting ultraviolet light.
This could be at a distance that arrives here in the infrared so we gain warmth.
