No direct way, no. But look at its artifacts such as the excessive
SN1a dimming. Or right in our back yard, at the Pioneer anomaly. Your
main skepticism is toward the cosmological density gradient (or PDT
gradient). There's always the alternative : space is a universally-
isotropic 'void-nothing' all the way back to the instant of the BB.
The speed of light is universally invariant all the way back to the
BB. The 'void-nothing' is expanding at an ever-accelerating rate. The
BB was a singular 'one-shot' event, and the universe will end in an
ignominious entropic heat death.

It's time to find a way, using the scientific method,
to show that the SPED causes gravity. *

(Raises hand meekly) The bathroom scale doesn't do it? Or jumping off

Just make one simple adjustment to the sitting
paradigm : replace the 'void' of space with the Plenum of space,
recognize it for what it _demonstrates itself to be_ (particularly in
the behavior of gravity) : a dynamic, highly mobile Fluid that's
compressible/expansible and amenable to density (PDT) gradients.. and
under a state of hyperpressure exceeding degeneracy pressure of the
atomic nucleus.

Once this is
done, many other refinements to relativity and to
quantum mechanics will soon follow.

Yuppers. But it won't happen in the foreseeable future.
