About the Book

While the space/time warpage of Einstein's General Relativity remains the favore d'explanation for gravity, a steadfast, perhaps growing, school of thought adheres to the so-called 'pushing gravity' concept set forth long ago by lesage. The appeal of this concept lies in the ease with which it's operation can be physically visualized; a universally applied gravity-producing radiation perpetually bombards all masses and is partially abosrbed by them; thus two masses in the same neighborhood mutually shield each other from the radiatoin coming from the direction of the other; hence the two masses are 'pushed' together by the difference in impact forces acting along their line of centers.

In contrast to the mass-active rationales of both Newtonian gravity and General Relativity, which in the former case require a mass to actively attract or 'pull' another mass toward it, and in the latter, to actively warp space/time, the pushing gravity concept is mass-passive; the active forces are due to the gravity-producing radiation.

Beyond Lesage, it was Quineros Majorana who set forth the idea of the exponential attenuation of the radiation as it passes through mass, and this idea is developed and applied in this book.

While some of the developments are quite tedious, two sections present a lighter side. The first featurs a simple derivation of the time-rate equation of the simplest black hole, serving as the basis for describing four of its fantasies. Remarkably, a twin solution, having no such singularities, is also produced.

A second attempt is a short story written in the form of a dialogue (not reminiscent of Galileo's'Dialogue') between a mother and a son who, while concocting a kettle of 'stone soup,' blithely contrive a version of astronomy based on the pushing gravity concept and the presumed expansion of the Earth.

About the Author

David E. Matzke and his wife, Jean, have lived in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C. for 45 years. There they raised five children. As an analytical jack-of-all-trades, he deployed his mathematical(B.A.-North Central college) and aerospace engineering (M.S.E.-Catholic University of America) skills to such tasks as (a) error modeling and calibration of inertial guidance systems, laser and radar tracking systems, (2) submarine combat and hovering systems, and (3)satellite and LORAN navigation programs.

Mr. Matzke no longer plays softball, golf, bridge, or chess, nor does he sing in the church quior. Instead he pursues classical studies, tries to illustrate ancient metaphors with captioned watercolor paintings, and, generally, contemplates the lethality of venerable constitutions as well as the evil nature of the universe. this latter despite his agreement with the following theorem of Epictetus: "As a mark is not set up for the purpose of missing it, so neither does the nature of evil exist in the universe."
