Default LeSage and pushing gravity

Pushing gravity has proceeded through many hands from Descartes in 1669 through Newton via his assistant Fatio, Huygens, and to LeSage in the mid 1700s. LeSage first set the parameters of pushing gravity that few scientists have followed up on until today. LeSage recognized and promoted the advantages of considering gravity as corpuscular (bits of matter) with interaction via impacts. He was a first to predict the mostly void space within mass. He knew that corpuscles he labeled as gravitons could push upon and penetrate masses while being only partly absorbed. He anticipated the existence of nutrinos by 100+ years. With gravity passing through planetary masses, he denoted the resulting output region as shadowing. His shadowing meant there were less upward pushing gravitons and thus a downward pressure and attraction upon any adjacent massive body.

I find that LeSage presented many arguments similar to mine. A few of his parameters were:
1. A change of state such as attraction, of a body is due to impulsion, ie. A physical pressure.
2. The medium or ether, must be fluid.
3. The fluid must be discrete corpuscles flowing simultaneously in all directions (isotropic) while not interfering with each other.
4. The pores of bodies must be great allowing nearly free passage to graviton corpuscles. .

Concerns regarding pushing gravity are frequently raised and remain unanswered to the satisfaction of science today. This keeps the idea of pushing gravity out of the limelight.. Searching for answers ultimately leads into my theory. One property of LeSage's 'ultra mundane corpuscles' is they travel at nearly infinite speed. Using a speed in excess of the speed of light removes the important concept of gravitation particles serving as the transportation medium for electromagnetic phenomena. Some have suggested a second medium acting in tandem with the original for carrying radiation differently than the way gravitons are carried.

The reason we don’t hear about LeSage’s theory is the unsatisfied objections. LeSage’s system and its recent modifications run into objections primarily because his gravitons, rectilinearly passed outward from the sun, will in some degree, via friction, impede the progress of orbitals such as planets. This drag issue and other objections are listed here:

1. By bumping into gravitons during its orbital motion, a planet is inhibited and incurs drag. The faster the planet’s revolution motion, the greater the drag becomes.
2. Aberration theory suggests the ‘apparent’ angle of the gravitational source will be offset due to the gravitons spending time in transit.
3. The internal impacts of gravitons within a mass would raise the temperature of the mass to impossible levels.
4. Long term there must be depletion or net slowing of the universe’s graviton streams due to absorption by masses. Gravity will diminish throughout the universe.

A mainstay of current pushing gravity theories is nearly infinite speed of gravitons to minimize the drag. LeSage used 10(13th) times speed of light others 10(24th) times. Extremely high speeds require extremely small particles in the Newton gravity formula. Besides not being a 100% solution, the velocity creates more of a concern with the buildup of heat. There is a suggestion of a second medium by Tom VanFlanders to dissipate the heat. This medium he calls Elysium.

A questionable statement by LeSage was that curvilinear motion is forced. Once the generator of the force is removed, the curvilinear motions become rectilinear. My solution does not accept that premise. The drag and the aberration issues go away using a curvature flow of paeps.

I believe my system overcomes the LeSage objections. The key issues introduce part 3 of my submissions here which will discuss angular motions, gravity causing revolutions and rotations, and the creation of planets.
