I have enlisted the help of volunteers at the University of Montana, which houses a Worden gravimeter, to measure gravity there on Jan. 3, 4, and 5, 2009. The measurements should confirm or refute my theory that gravity is an effect of matter meeting resistance in space.
As I predicted in my blog entry on Nov. 26, 2007, gravity measurements should be stronger on the side of the Earth facing the Sun on those dates. I have not divulged my theory to the university volunteers, so I am anticipating results that will have the quality of a blind study.
While I am hopeful that my theory will be supported by the measurements, I will feel more relief than disappointment if the measurements do not support my theory. I have been mentally wrapped up in this idea for almost two years, and it has been unsettling not to know whether it is a good idea or not.
I have resigned myself to either eventuality. In either case, I want to focus on writing fiction in the near future.
At least I know I have a good imagination.
