: The Pionner problem may also come from gravity. The velocity needed to escape
: the solar system may be higher than predicted. Is gravity created by the curvature
: of space near an object, making passing by objects fall on the bigger one or
: is it possible that gravity, like an apple falling down, be created by the pushing of particles
: particles from our level of infinity toward a lower level inside every objects? So an apple is not
: pull down by earth gravity but is simply pushed from less dense space toward the center of more
: dense area of space. The infinitly small may be "engulfing" particles of our level of infinity and
: this results in a friction of particles causing objects to be pushed from the infinitly big toward
: the infinitly small,and our level of infinity working like a "filter" stopping
: particles of our level and letting smaller particles continue downward toward
: the infinitly small. The equilibrium at our level is reach by explosions breaking particles
: into smmaller ones to continue downward. And matter of our level comes from
: the next higher level of infinity sending particles to our level. (see last
: pages of Carl Sagan book: Cosmos. The chapter; on the edge of infinity.
I am noticing a tendency to turn Carl Sagan into some sort of a Patron Saint of Skeptics. I believe he
did a good deal of speculation on the fringes of science, which means that much of the speculation is
just that. I don't believe he would have held with being cited as some semi-divine 'Source'.
