LB, What you have posted is correct. I need an editor-thanks.

Jim,

Anyone can edit one of their own posts.

To correct the post I asked about you should:
1) select the edit tool to the right of the time stamp in your post.
(it looks like a pencil and paper)
(your post will appear in an edit window)
2) type the word "not" where you meant for it to be. Or make other changes.
3) press the preview button if you desire.
4) press the submit button when you are satisfied.

After I make a new post I usually spend a few minutes re-reading it. About half the time I find a typo or spelling error or decide to re-word something to make my message more readable. How you present an idea can be as important as the idea itself.

The editor function is a very useful tool.

Regards,
LB

It has been said the force of gravity is the result of an energy exchange. Going with that-does that process cause heating as well as orbital motion? Or is something else missing-the energy of an orbit?

Gravitational interactions do indeed cause heating of the masses involved. It turns out that if some of the gravitons are not absorbed by the masses (resulting in a heating effect) then the scattered gravitons would end up canceling the shadowing effect and no net force would result.

There is an article in <i>Pushing Gravity</i> by V Slabinsky about this.

LB

LB, I wonder if that applies to planets falling in the gravity field of the sun. It seems not if the rules used for falling bodies are used because no heat is amassed in the planet due to the rate of fall-for example the Earth/moon system falls into the sun a rate of 6mm/sec which should generate something.

if a electron was spinning at the speed of light would that distort spacetime and make a gravity wave ?
all i can gleam from the books is not unless it has a wobble anyone have a good way to calculate this?
