The thread about what Gravity is in Questions
reminded me of my crude ideas. It always seems
like candyfloss being told matter moves along
geodesics without trying to explain why things
drop. I came to reason it was the gradient
that was the culprit with one side of subatomic
particles being unbalanced and hence moving.
This leads to a crude idea of "long" items
moving a smiggen faster than shorter items.

So this is the experiment. A hollow ceramic
tube about a foot long fitted inside with
a camera and microscope looking at a small
tray of talcum powder. When dropped inside
an evacuated chamber, the powder shoud not
be seem to rise at the moment of dropping.

One thing to note is how a spring like body
would be extended by its own weight while
suspended and shorten when in free fall. So
the powder needs to be in the middle of the
tube.

Might be fun!
