In my original post, I put forward ‘difficult question 3’ about the different collision speeds between a moving mass and a postulated omni directional gravitational field along the line of travel.
The higher the collision velocity, the greater would be the change in kinetic energy so that head on collisions would slow down a moving mass more than would collisions from behind. Orbiting objects would fall down much more rapidly that has been observed.
This view has been expressed not only in the original post, but also by other visitors to the thread.
If, instead, moving masses do not collide with gravitational particles having mass, but with entities having only energy to impart, a similar problem will arise, because then packets of energy arriving from ahead will have a higher frequency while those arriving from astern will have a lower frequency. Such energy is a function of amplitude and frequency, so orbiting objects would not stay aloft very long under these conditions either.
Omni directional gravitational fields made up of radiation or matter, or a combination of the two could not therefore create a plausible mechanism for gravity.
In my reply to one or two questions on the subject, I commented that a hypothesis should not be debunked on the basis of assumptions made by the debunker, the above two being examples. But it has been difficult to find other examples that might work
One possibility comes (not readily) to mind. It flows in part from the discussion in these pages about saturation states of photons.
Suppose that throughout everything, there are small bursts of energy lasting for approximately zero time each. They might be caused by intersections from all directions, of radiation to create peaks of reinforcement like Newton’s rings. And, perhaps also in the fashion of quantum particles -now you see them, now you do not.
The frequency of interaction between a moving particle and such events might no longer be a function of particle velocity, but of event frequency only. Further, if we assume that a quantum of energy delivered by a burst to be a constant, then it would not matter in what direction an affected particle is travelling at the time.
In this scenario, we could perhaps have external gravitational force acting on inert mass in a way that does not result in excessively decaying orbits.
