Many minds have attempted to solve this ancient puzzle, but no one
has yet been fully successful.

Yes, you will NOT find a definite explanation of what gravity
actually "is" ANYWHERE in the annals of conventional science because
up until Mr. S D Rodrian pointed out how it is that the universe
really works NO ONE could have possibly even imagined how gravity
works, nor what the devil gravity really "is."

The Crackpot Scorecard (CCped from elsewhere)

A simple method for rating potentially revolutionary contributions to
physics or astronomy or chemistry or theology

Everyone is given -5 point starting credit.
Scores over 399 will be posted in the Crackpot's Hall of Fame


+1 point for every statement that is widely agreed on to be false.
+2 points for every statement that is clearly vacuous.
+3 points for every statement that is logically inconsistent.


+5 points for each such statement that is adhered to despite careful
correction.
+5 points for using a thought experiment that contradicts the results
of a widely accepted real experiment.
+5 points for each word in all capital letters (except for those with
defective keyboards).
+5 points for each mention of "Einstien", "Hawkins", "Dawkins" or
"Darwin".


+10 points for each claim that quantum mechanics is fundamentally
misguided (without good evidence).
+10 points for pointing out that you have gone to school, as if this
were evidence of sanity.
+10 points for beginning the description of your theory by saying how
long you have been working on it. (10 more for emphasizing that you
worked on your own.)
+10 points for mailing your theory to someone you don't know
personally and asking them not to tell anyone else about it, for fear
that your ideas will be stolen.
+10 points for offering prize money to anyone who proves and/or finds
any flaws in your theory.
+10 points for each new term you invent and use without properly
defining it.
+10 points for each statement along the lines of "I'm not good at
math, but my theory is conceptually right, so all I need is for
someone to express it in terms of equations".
+10 points for arguing that a current well-established theory is
"only
a theory", as if this were somehow a point against it.
+10 points for arguing that while a current well-established theory
predicts phenomena correctly, it doesn't explain "why" they occur, or
fails to provide a "mechanism".
+10 points for each favorable comparison of yourself to Einstein, or
claim that special or general relativity are fundamentally misguided
(without good evidence).
+10 points for claiming that your work is on the cutting edge of a
"paradigm shift".


+20 points for emailing me and complaining about the crackpot index.
(E.g., saying that it "suppresses original thinkers" or saying that I
misspelled "Einstein" in item 8.)
+20 points for suggesting that you deserve a Nobel prize.
+20 points for each favorable comparison of yourself to Newton or
claim that classical mechanics is fundamentally misguided (without
good evidence).
+20 points for every use of science fiction works or myths as if they
were fact.
+20 points for defending yourself by bringing up (real or imagined)
ridicule accorded to your past theories.
+20 points for naming something after yourself. (E.g., talking about
the "The Evans Field Equation" when your name happens to be Evans.)
+20 points for talking about how great your theory is, but never
actually explaining it.
+20 points for each use of the phrase "hidebound reactionary".
+20 points for each use of the phrase "self-appointed defender of the
orthodoxy".


+30 points for suggesting that a famous figure secretly disbelieved
in
a theory which he or she publicly supported.
+30 points for suggesting that Einstein, in his later years, was
groping his way towards the ideas you now advocate.
+30 points for claiming that your theories were developed by an
extraterrestrial civilization (without good evidence).
+30 points for allusions to a delay in your work while you spent time
in an asylum, or references to the psychiatrist who tried to talk you
out of your theory.


+40 points for comparing those who argue against your ideas to Nazis,
stormtroopers, or brownshirts.
+40 points for claiming that the "scientific establishment" is
engaged
in a "conspiracy" to prevent your work from gaining its well-deserved
fame, or suchlike.
+40 points for comparing yourself to Galileo, suggesting that a
modern-
day Inquisition is hard at work on your case, and so on.
+40 points for claiming that when your theory is finally appreciated,
present-day science will be seen for the sham it truly is. (30 more
points for fantasizing about show trials in which scientists who
mocked your theories will be forced to recant.)
+50 points for claiming you have a revolutionary theory but giving no
concrete testable predictions.
