How Does the Feasibility Model Explain Gravity?
The filament model, just think of it as really optical fibers connecting all the masses in the universe and visualize this now. It's an optical medium in its own right.

Well, how can we explain gravity from that? And the answer which I, putting forward, is this, it relates to a controversy in physics termed the Abraham Minkowski controversy.
