The following provides fora simple paradigm of gravity and explores the possible marriage of gravity and the Casimir Effect. As George Gamov observes in his book Thirty Years That Shook Physics, "if one would assume that light propagates with infinite velocity ..., Einsteins entire theory would reduce to the classical mechanics of Isaac Newton" The finite speed of light and the Lorentz - Fitzgerald Contraction (or transformation) play key roles spelling out the differences. Because of my limited mathematical ability I take a three step approach 1. I show how my model produces Newtonian results then 2. I attempt to show it will also produce results consistent with General Relativity. 3. I show how my model explains the null results of the Michelson - Morley experiment. The Model I propose that the BB process involved the emission, externalization and out-streaming - of space from a preexisting source or state, which I call the Alpha Entity (or state) in order to avoid the baggage associated with the concept of a singularity. Why this occurred no one knows yet but most scientists believe that it did. Once emitted, Einstein Spatial Ether obeyed Newton's Laws of Motion and revealed different phases of its personality - including a possible inflationary episode - as it expanded and cooled. Conversely, I propose that the Big Crunch will involve the absorption, internalization and in-streaming of ESE into what I call the Omega Entity, going through another series of phase changes in the process. Thus, I view the expansion process associated with the BB / Alpha Entity as the other side of the coin of that associated with the Big Crunch/Omega Entity and as we shall see gravitation. I postulate that all gravitational bodies act as Einstein Spatial Ether Sinks because they soak up and internalize Einstein Spatial Ether, causing in- streaming which carries energy and mass towards themselves in the process. Thus, any Big Crunch, any formation of black holes, and ordinary gravity result from the absorption of ESE including all the matter and energy contained in it. Where does the absorbed Einstein Spatial Ether go Both Einstein's Principle of the Equivalence of Energy and Matter and Big Bang Theory posit that enormous energy and matter can be incorporated into (stored in) an incredibly small volume. All these processes cause the universe or portions of it to get denser and to occupy less volume, but does not change the overall matter/energy content of the universe. Radiation in all its forms would bean offsetting process.
