the propagation of gravity which defies C as a limit on mechanical interaction
Nazgul, you've obviously got no clue how gravity works. You may not realize it, but you don't.
Physicists, on the other hand, do.
This may seem surprising and even insulting, but it shouldn't. This is not a tiny little hunter-gatherer tribe and it's not surprising that there are people out there with knowledge of incredible specialized depth built upon ages of scientific labor all of which you have not the tiniest hint even exists.
Such is the point of the essay.
- nazgulnarsil 18y agoright, but I'm not using my own ignorance as evidence that I should ignore scientists when they claim that they do in fact understand the mechanism of gravity. I was under the impression that this was one of the main problems with our understanding of gravity. Have any pointers on material? all wikipedia says that is useful to me is that bodies don't transmit information about their position faster than c, which does solve that particular problem. I just can't wrap my head conceptually around how that works from the frame of reference of the body being acted upon.
