The sad thing about Jaakkola's paper is that it was his last one. He died shortly after writing it. I think if Jaakkola was still here he would have solved a lot of the puzzles out there now, such as "dark matter". His whole scientific career was spent fighting the mainstream. By the way, you might find the past issues of Apeiron interesting. You can access them online and you can purchase the whole archive of print issues from Apeiron for $75 - a real bargain!

I am not a physicist, so my approach to the discipline is from that of a free thinker, with enough knowledge to be dangerous, but there are such glaring irregularities in modern physics that they beg attention.

Being a trained physicist is not essential to making breakthroughs in physics. In fact modern physics training is probably retarding progress in some respects. But in the end you need to ground your insights in solid physical reasoning. Modern physics ran into trouble by basing too much on math.

Light redshifts when it comes through great gravity fields. And if so, then Jaakkola may be right on.

Just for clarity, Jaakkola thought that light was redshifted as it passed through fields of matter, eg galaxies. In this respect it would be similar to the attenuation of gravity in passing through bodies, in Le Sage or Majorana-type gravity. Jaakkola linked these two 'redshifts' together.
