Try using Google Groups and searching "author:spaceman". Have a good

The atomic clock could have been in the space station. What the atomic
clock exists in is not important. Just that it ticks at a different
rate than a similar clock on the Earth.

What is important in the analogy is the Observer orbiting the Earth
where the atomic clock exists will determine one year has passed based
upon measurements of the distant stars.

The measurements of the distant stars, used to determine the Earth has
made a complete orbit of the Sun, is more accurate in determining one
year has passed then the atomic clock on the space station which ticks
off 360 days.

A moving C-60 molecule has an associated aether displacement wave. The
C-60 molecule describes a very small region of the wave. This very
small region enters and exits a single slit in a double slit
experiment.

The rate at which an atomic clock ticks is based upon the aether
pressure in which it exists.

The pressure associated with the aether displaced by a massive object
is gravity.

All of that and you did not answer his question. Hell, you can't even
say what G is... Waving one's hand one paths says NOTHING! about how
that occurs...

Of course I did. What were you expecting in terms of an explanation?
What fundamental element do you think MUST be present in a physical
explanation that was missing from what I gave?

> Hell, you can't even
> say what G is...

G is a numerical conversion factor, empirically determined, whose
value is determined by the choice of units being used. It basically is
a coupling strength, which means given the value of the amount of a
source (mass and energy), what is the amount of the influence (force
in Newton's version of the explanation, curvature in the more modern
version)?

>  Waving one's hand one paths says NOTHING! about how
> that occurs...

That depends on what you think MUST always be involved in "how that
happens". What do you think has to be there for you to recognize it as
a "how that occurs"?
