Abstract


Plausibility of Shaw's "Aether Concept of Gravity"

Shaw has proposed an aether explanation for gravity, publishing several papers over the current decade (see http://www.duncanshaw.ca/). These have evolved into his "Aether Concept of Gravity," by which inflowing aether into cosmic bodies produces an accelerating "ram force" that manifests as the "attractive" gravitational force without the need to postulate "action at a distance." While examination of the full theory is beyond the scope of this paper, it is feasible to examine three of the key aspects which lend themselves to modeling in the form of mathematical constructs. While no attempt is made to explain the physics behind Shaw's theory, an investigation into its plausibility, at least from a mathematical perspective, is undertaken and appears to support at least this level of plausibility.
