Part of science is making a coherent language in which the "experts" can
communicate. I am in process of doing that now in terms of Einstein's
plain vanilla GR and mainstream gauge theory. That's why I want to clean
out all the excess baggage, the false leads like Hal's PV. :-)

Thanks. This is interesting if it is credible after Stan Friedman, Eric
Davis, Bruce Maccabee et-al check it out. It is roughly the KIND of
thing "gravity lensing" I would expect from a controlled short-scale
dark zero point energy field glancing at it quickly. If I called it a
"quintessence field" the mainstreamers like Sean Carroll would not jump
so quickly to say it is impossible. That is, they only think of "dark
energy" in large-scale CP limit 10^26 cm /\ as uniform and constant in
Guv + /\guv = 0.

Key idea: the direct gravitation and anti-gravitation of UNABSORBED
residual zero point energy density (from all quantum fields) can be
EXTREMELY STRONG! It is not limited by G/c^4 at all! This is what Hal &
Co do not understand! ZPE cannot make QED-based detectors CLICK as is
well known. What is not well known is that BECAUSE of EEP micro-quantum
ZPE has a DIRECT effect on warping the fabric of space-time. This is the
HIDDEN MESSAGE in the paradox of the COSMOLOGICAL CONSTANT paradox! -
the greatest crisis of Ed Witten's career he has admitted.
