Gravity considered harmful.

I have a new hypothesis regarding how gravity works, and why it's befuddling the unified field guys so much. Before I make an absolute jackass out of myself rewriting physics 101, though, does anyone know of a good reference on gravity that's legible by a numerate layman?

UPDATE: Nevermind folks; it appears I've re-invented LeSage Gravity. Although there are problems with this theory of gravity, it's intuitively appealing, especially if you're one of those folks (like me) who don't believe in time.

Gravity.. It sucks.

Well, although no-one else seems to think so (except some 18th century guy named LeSage), I think it pushes, or, more specifically, that there's no such thing, and that gravity is not a force, but the effect of Newton's Laws and WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles). I don't think there's gravity any more than I believe in centrifugal force or time.

You need to call Rufel and get Bob Statser's phone number. He'll talk your ear off on this, and has some interesting things to say on it.
