Ray,
I like the creativity involved in your theory of gravity, but there are a few things that I am uncomfortable with.

For one, I don't like the idea of a finite ball of ether that contains our cosmos. Beyond the ball of ether (aether), what's out there? The aether seems to me like it must fill all space. It is space, infinite. That given, there is no wall or reflective surface off which all the waves can continue bouncing forever.

I understand the shade concept and it is cool, a clever observation. I have a problem though with a universe saturated with omni-directional waves; if that was so, they would cancel eachother out -in perfectly destructive interference. If they were particles, they would run into eachother and lose their momentum.

And if I am wrong about either of these points, and the system works... when two objects are in relative motion in respect to one another, and particularly when accelerating, as in orbits - the mathematics of it all (defining shade) begins to look pretty complex.

I am of the opinion that the solution is much simpler.

Mog
