FOREWORD

We all confront gravitation every moment of our lives, yet nobody can explain how gravitation works.  What is actually going on?  What, exactly, is the mechanism that pushes everything down?  Nobody knows.  And that leaves the door open for a new way of thinking that provides a clear, intuitively satisfying explanation.  Here is where we stand presently.

We say Newton showed that gravitation is caused by the gravitational field surrounding all massive bodies.  WRONG.   Newton said no such thing.   Newton developed empirical equations that accurately describe how objects move in response to gravitation.  But he did not say that a field caused this motion.  In fact he disparaged such thinking.  He felt that  there must be some  agency that made direct mechanical  contact to cause motion.  And he was blunt in saying so:

"It is inconceivable that inanimate brute matter should, without the mediation of something else, which is not material, operate upon and affect other matter without mutual contact.  That gravity should be innate, inherent, and essential to matter, so that one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum, without the mediation of anything else, by and through which their action and force may be conveyed from one to another, is to me so great an absurdity that I believe no man, who has in philosophical matters a competent faculty of thinking, can ever fall into it."  I. Newton. [1]

Neoetherics provides this direct mechanical contact that Newton said had to be there.
