Spring will not be denied!

Oh my! Winter didn't arrive with fury. Instead, it crept in and hunkered down for a prolonged stay. As such, Spring has been reluctantly waiting just beyond reach. However, yesterday...March 25th, the swallows returned! Spring will not be denied! Spring has finally imposed itself in the guise of fifty swallows, just a few days after a snowfall and on the same day as a 30 degree morning. Swallows! Spring! What shear pleasure! Life is okay.

Voices

I just thought I should mention...again...I can't stand the "Westwood One" voice. This guy sounds so phony and unnatural that I switch stations every time I hear his voice. 

Duke Loses!

I must say I'm just an occasional college basketball fan. My local teams ( the Washington Huskies), the Washington State Cougars and Gonzaga...they're not up there with the elite teams. However, the most important thing to me and probably MILLIONS of others is...Duke lost (!) in the first round of the tournament...to Lehigh ???...Lehigh????? I just can't stand how wonderful it is to get Duke out of there. I'm sick to death of seeing the same people (mainly the coaches) year in and year out. Personally, I can't stand seeing or hearing Duke's coach (who reminds me of an aardvark's butt). I don't like looking at him. I'm so pleased to see them lose! (Mind you, I do feel for the individual players who've just had their season end. These guys give everything they have...but someone has to win...and someone has to lose each game.) 

This is a wonderful thing...Duke losing. With Duke losing, everyone else wins! 

I don't care what else happens. With Duke losing, I'm satisfied.

The PRESSING FORCE OF GRAVITY

I realize this may seem to be an utterly foolish and simplistic idea...but I've been proposing this concept for more than twelve years now and have not heard a single, more sensible explanation to the nature of gravity. Specifically, gravity is a pressing force rather than a pulling force. It is likely  the omnipresent dark matter of the universe creating what we call gravity. The same force binding sub-atomic particles together also acts upon larger, more permeable, celestial bodies, holding them together.

Yes, it's simple and by no means, am I capable of explaining, mathematically, how this works but there really is no other viable explanation.

The dark matter permeates everything except the most dense, sub-atomic particles which, apparently, are the only true bits of actual matter, as we know it. Celestial bodies are considerably less dense (of course) than, say, protons and, as such are comprised of more dark matter than actual matter. The force that holds our solar system together is the same force that binds each, individual atom. It is, indeed simple. 

I would like the physics department of ANY university to take up the challenge to prove my theory. To begin, study the gravitational force at the leading verses the trailing edge of the earth. My own experiments indicate there is greater force at the leading edge, implying the earth is moving through "something". Initially, I only guessed that it may be the dark matter of the universe and left open the possibility that there might be something else out there. I'm willing to accept that it's dark matter but precious little is known about that, anyway.

In any case, back to the physics department...accurately measure weight throughout each day and provide concrete evidence that there is greater weight at the leading edge than the trailing edge of the earth. I did this in my kitchen and determined there is a .6% to 1.1% increase in weight at the leading edge...meaning we're plowing ahead through something. This "something" is that darn dark matter!

Okay, even if no university is willing to think outside the box...perhaps there's a rogue scientist or physicist out there with an open mind. Perhaps a PHD candidate might choose this for a final dissertation. Think of the possibilities! Someone! (I just want validation before I slip into the next world.)

A brief scan through this blog should lead one to my earlier, more rambling post about this subject.
