SPECULATIONS IN PHYSICS – NEW GRAVITY – HISTORY HAS MASS NEW GRAVITY & HISTORY HAS MASS. 28 SLIDES FIRST - Conclusions in pictures. This compilation of 20 years of articles from my ancient website and my more contemporary blogsite, courtesy of Google Blog, is presented with the most recent articles and conclusions at the beginning and the earliest dates at the end. I was15 years old when I bought the first edition of New Scientist, I have read it weekly ever since. Now at 78 years old I have just received Issue Number 3321. Divide that by 52 weeks and it tells me, ignoring publishing anomalies, that I have read nearly 64 years of their reporting of scientific news and comments. What stamina – on both our parts. The weekly 30 or 40 pages of New Scientist, dismissed by some “real” scientists as no more than a flimsy, flippant comic, lured me into reading hundreds of other magazines and books – and eventually, at a late age, into attending particle and astro-physics evening classes for three years on Oxford Continuing Education courses. I was the oldest in the class. Despite a 50 year gap in grappling with mathematics – other than arithmetic for accountants – I did manage to successfully complete all the homework we were set. But don’t ask my aged brain to attempt such calculations today. You will not need maths to follow these articles; maths is here mostly translated into English. Having absorbed and weighed 64 years of information, making these written notes for the last 20 years, I have impertinently formed heretical but interesting and perhaps credible opinions about gravity, dark-matter, dark-energy, and other scientific mysteries. No one can accuse me of acting with undue haste. My earlier essays range across several background physics and science topics. Students dipping into them might find these interesting, informative and diverting. For the convenience of busy and impatient readers, this text starts with 28 brief slides that sum-up, that conclude, my conclusions. The slides are later explained in the text. Some readers might like to track the logical path backwards – which is the rest of this collation. My reputation most certainly does not go before me, I have no academic status to lose – so if, like me, you need to know “who the hell is this guy” – on the next page is my short CV. This document is a set of diary notes. It introduces an explanation, or an idea, of what Gravity is as contrasted with what Gravity does. And tracks back on my trail of information and thoughts that led me to that idea. In the process it skates across numerous scientific topics – which might be useful to students and inquisitive elders. What the document lacks in authority, it makes up for with repetition. Readers can dip-in anywhere and probably find interesting news, old news, and texts from celebrated experts. My current exploration of “Casimir” Gravity is about 12 years old. In the years before that, ten or fifteen years or more, I worked on the idea that gravity was caused by the Hubble expansion of the universe, “Expansion Is Gravity” or EIG. So, many of my older dairy notes relate to that concept. I now think EIG cannot work – but the articles explored are nevertheless valid in their own right – and Page 1 of 301 SPECULATIONS IN PHYSICS – NEW GRAVITY – HISTORY HAS MASS involve some interesting physics. Throughout these notes, I have reached the view that Einstein’s Aether did and does exist. He did not deny the Aether – he said that he did not need it for his calculations. Because I was writing a diary – not writing for publication – albeit that my website and blog are publicly accessible, over the 20 years I liberally quoted extracts and sometimes entire articles written by scientists or journalists. Often, I did not cite sources or references and it is too onerous a task, 20 years later, to now trace-back and provide them. But it is clear, I think, which lines of purple-prose are mine and which are the experts’ texts. Since starting my blog on October 2012 https://noelhodson.blogspot.com/ it has had to date, 1st March 2021, 295,000 visitors. There are 586 blog posts, about 1/3rd being on science topics – say 98,000 visitors. Of those at a rough count and guesswork, about 20,000 visitors have looked at articles on gravity. My most visited single blog-essay is about tax-evasion for the super-rich. I was once an accountant, and once specialised in Tax-Back-Duty cases. My website http://www.noelhodson.com vanishes back into the mists of time and cyberspace. There was never a visitor counter on the site. I think I designed it as a DiY project and started it in 1992’ish. The main topic in those early days was Telework (using advanced telecommunications to work from home or on the move). Science essays would be only 20% of the content. Prior to my website lurk the dark, lost days of pre-history; I didn’t even keep all the back-copies of New Scientist. To reconstruct the dates, I would need to delve into rock-art on cave walls. The last of the coloured slides, Slide 28, below indicates the sources I was using; the list of sources is also shown in easy-read print on page 22 (or thereabouts, as decided by Microsoft Word.).
