The picture of the sky made by large modern telescopes prove beyond doubt that we are surrounded by billions of dynamic stellar energy sources.

We are inside creatures. Our abode is inside the surrounding universe, and as far inside as we can see. We live inside a galaxy, and that galaxy is also situated inside of millions of surrounding galaxies. And we live inside our solar system, and inside some surrounding mass that we label atmosphere and planetary material.

The explosive pushing energy from any one sun or star diverges as illustrated in diagram 1.

However, when space is surrounded by stellar sources, dynamic energy converges at every point inside the space. Thurs, we can pick the point of any arrow drawn in diagram 2 as a place where energy converges from every surrounding star.

For several years we have felt challenged to throw more light on the good questions posed by splendid respondents relating to the above topic. They ask: "How many Cuanta are converging everywhere?" In other words, how much dynamic-energy-mass-momentum (DEMM) is converging today toward certain specific spots in space, - perhaps on the now vacant cc. of space where the pupil of your eye or the nail of your thumb was located six months ago?

When atomic explosions occur above a city, explosive radiations move outward, and away, and also move inward and toward the earth's center. It was the inward force that destroyed two cities in Japan. For convenience we can label the inward pointing reactions as "implosive" when directed "downward" toward the center of a spherical mass like the earth or sun. In all events, the actions and reactions must follow Sir Isaac Newton's third law: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." There is nothing strange about this old truth, but too often we forget or neglect to account for both.

In May 1970 my friend Virgil Mabry, who is a very knowledgeable consultant located in Beaumont, Texas, suggested that I secure the published lectures of richard Feynman, wherein he made adverse appraisal of our pushing theory of gravitation. Therefore, I secured from our State Library a paperback book entitled The Character of Physical Law, which was printed by the M.I.T. press in March 1967. I am very grateful to Mr. Mabry for this reference and for the opportunity it affords for interaction with this delightful adverse critic, and with some of his disciples of attractive criticism.

It should be obvious that the phenomena we call gravity is primarily an acceleration toward a center. We submit that this type acceleration is quite different from any other type of acceleration.

Suppose we imagine that we invent an "opposite anti-gravity device" and apply it on the planet we call earth. We assume this would reverse the forces and all the acceleration would be away from the center, and we would all fly upward into space in different directions.

There seems to be more and more general agreement that gravity waves from stellar sources are impinging on our planet. Certainly this seemed to be the consensus verbalized by leading speakers at the Fifth Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics in Austin 14-18 December 1970. Those speakers included Dr. Joseph Weber, who has gained fame be designing a four-ton "gravity" wave detector, and Peter G. Bergman, author and lecturer on Gravitation Theory.
