<How about if we say that a mass causes a curvature in the ETHER instead
<of a curvature in space?  Then how bout we say that it isn't a curvature
<its a change in density.  The closer to a mass the higher the density
<the farther away the lower the density.  How about we say that this 
<change in density can maybe cause light to be bent because the ETHER 
<is of higher density than when not near the mass.  How about we say
<that it is really this ETHER 'pressure' that holds us to the planet?
<How bout we say that time (process rate) is effected by a higher 
<density of ETHER to the effect of causing time 'process rate' to slow?
<How about if I explained in the same easy way how matter and magnetism
<relate to ETHER in a clear and understandable way?  Hmmm... lets see...
<light,gravity,magnetism,time,matter hmmm... sounds interesting.

<But anyway, where am I messing up?  I find this an easier way to look
<at things than to think of space curving.                             

III:
I *also* own the Brooklyn Bridge.  My ownership cannot be demonstrated by any
known means, does not interfere with other ownership, and is therefore linearly
superimposable on other such similar ownership.  Perhaps I only own it at a
different frequency (every ten years?) ;-)
Quantum Mechanics depends upon linear superposition for its validity.
Ya might as well buy Quantum Mechanics, too, while you're at it...  You'll
need it to keep the bridge repaired.

Ok.  Please don't flame me for my flaming the previous flame.  Please do
give Eric's question outlined above a fair turn or two.  Thank you.
