If I may suggest a real experiment.

Take your theory to a theatre and read it
aloud while you are waiting in the ticket queue.

When someone punches you so you are
more horizontal than vertical take
a photograph and write "polarization"
on the back.

When someone shoves you out of the
queue so you loose your place, and can't
get in, take a photograph of that too, but
write "displacement" on the back of it.

When your bruises heal, the photos might
help your ability to read.

'Vacuum Quantum Fluctuations in Curved Space
and the Theory of Gravitation
Academician A. D. Sakharov'
http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~akempf/sakharov.pdf

"In Einstein’s theory of gravitation one postulates that the action of
spacetime depends on the curvature (R is the invariant of the Ricci
tensor):

S(R) = − 1/16πG (dx)√−gR.

The presence of the action leads to a “metrical elasticity” of space,
i.e., to generalized forces which oppose the curving of space. Here we
consider the hypothesis which identifies the action with the change in
the action of quantum fluctuations of the vacuum if space is curved.
Thus, we consider the metrical elasticity of space as a sort of level
displacement effect."

What Sakharov is referring to is Aether Displacement.

'Emergent Gravity' is Aether Displacement.

Aether is an elastic medium. The aether 'opposes' the curving of
space. The aether 'opposes' its displacement. This is the pressure
exerted by the displaced aether towards the matter.

The 'displacement effect' is the displacement of the aether by matter.

'Ether and the Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein'
http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Extras/Einstein_ether.html

"the state of the [ether] is at every place determined by connections
with the matter and the state of the ether in neighbouring places, ...
disregarding the causes which condition its state."

The state of the aether as determined by its connections with the
matter and the state of the aether in neighboring places is the
aether's state of displacement.

I think my birds and squirrels don't need either BB or gravity theories.
Gravity has been around all my life. I'm comfortable with it.

I can do that with a comb after it picks up dandruf on the way through the

That's not quite the answer I'm looking for, but I'll give you a pass
(tentatively), for now, and we can negotiate a higher grade, later.

At my age, what is important is cancer, heart-attacks, and Alzheimer's
Disease. Decades from now, I think, you might also agree with me. But,
alternatively, I could be wrong.

Thanks for your responses.

You don't have to answer.

;-)

But could I contribute my own "theory of gravitation"?

If so, I'll work on it after sundown, tonight.

It is usually tolerated 'till some experimentalist
finds she has to measure belief-fields to test a
theory. Then the jig is up.

In dog years, a star mathematician's career isn't
that much longer than a star female gymnast.
(Don't they get training bras as retirement gifts?)

If your sums are getting a little rusty
(mine never had a shine) that is all the
more reason to study the mechanisms of molecular
dynamics rather than the formalism of GR.
Computers do the heavy lifing in MD.

If LHC can't find their god-particles then
you might be a step ahead of the game. If
they do, you still have some powerul tools
for understanding some of the most exciting work going
on today.

Toy models are a lot more fun than
quantitative models so *do* get your
birds and squirrels to explain the first
figure below if you are not already familiar
with it.
