The TEW completely rejects the standard general relativistic view
that gravity is the structure of the geometry of spacetime,
namely the structure of the curved spacetime due to massive
objects. In his 1996 paper, Lewis Little gives the briefest of
sketches regarding how the TEW explains general relativity,
including the role of graviton particles, their elementary waves,
and their interactions.
Over the years there have been a series of reports and
experiments which can be loosely grouped together under the name
of gravity shielding. In various ways, a shielding affect from
gravitational influences, due to a host of possible sources, is
reported. The work in this area ranges from investigation of
rotating superconducting ceramic discs in the laboratory, to
astronomical warp drives. I personally consider most of this work
to range from borderline science, to kooksville.
However, a recent paper in a mainstream Journal offers some
interesting evidence for a measured effect of gravitational
changes during a solar eclipse. The premise here would be that,
if graviton particles do exist, the imposition of the Moon
between the Sun during eclipse would partially shield the
gravitational influence of the Sun on the Earth through
absorption of gravitons, enough to measure the variation.
On March 9, 1997 there was a total eclipse of the Sun experienced
in China. An extremely accurate gravimeter was used to measure
any variations of vertical gravitational acceleration within a
very high precision. The equipment was protected from any other
environmental effects, and the measured area was kept
undisturbed. Readings were taken continuously several days before
the eclipse, during the eclipse, and several days afterwards.
While the preceeding and following readings remained nearly
constant, a clear and significant decrease in gravity was
recorded during first and last contact of the eclipse.
At best this data can be considered beginning evidence to
validate the concept of graviton particles. If the results are to
be believed, this is certainly provocative enough to spur on
additional experimental research to discover more about this
property of gravitation. Although this is far, far from
conclusive, it is some evidence which supports Lewis Little's
supposition of graviton particles in the TEW.

Here is an old post from Frode on gravity as caused by electromagnetic particles. That which sends electromagnetic particles to the Earth, which then resonate, is the Sun. f you block the Sun, as it happens during an eclipse, you block the flow of particles. If gravitational intensity briefly changes during the eclipse, then that means that gravity effects are caused by an electromagnetic flow of particles.
This is important because, in the depths of the Earths crust, the particles will have had their wavelength/Hertz modified and reduced because they will have passed through a medium, and there will be no more radiation at the gravity-inducing wavelength; i.e., less gravity or none.
This is also important because, at some point in the middle of the crust, gravity has to be diminished or even reduced to nil because if it isn't, the accumulated superior weight of the crust will collapse inwards into the hollow cavity. The theory of Newtonian gravity stipulates this, that the mere mass has weight and that, therefore, the crust is too heavy for any meaningful cavity to exist. But if gravity effects are due to an electromagnetic attraction, at a certain wavelength, then when the wavelength becomes modified by passing through the medium of the crust, gravitational attraction ceases and the weight is not created, so to speak.
I am summarizing Cater's presentation and his explanation of the effects described in Etidorhpa, i.e., mass with no weight, and thus diminished gravity within the Earth's crust.

A look at Gravity.
Hi all,
There is no doubt about the existence of gravity. To jump out of an air plane will end with a SPLAT! As pointed out by Garry. So we all agree that gravity exist, but we do not agree on what gravity is or what is causing it. Does matter radiate gravitons? Or does matter bend space and time? Has gravity anything to do with charge? Etc.
Since the theories around gravity is not so easy to understand one have the tendency to just accept what is generally accepted by scientists. I for one have great difficulties withe the concept of bent time and space. I could write a lot about why this ides is even more stupid then believing in a flat earth, but I will not waste time on that. I just want to point out that this idea is one of the main reason for making physics inaccessible to the ordinary man and woman.
So what about gravitons (a particle that mediate gravity)? There is good reasons to believe so, and I found something interesting in another discussion group that probably is the best confirmation so far :

I asked about electric charge in relation to gravity. Is there a relationship between the two? Cater believes so, but he is not the only one. Here is a link:

Some time ago when I was trying to find some confirmations for Cater's theory I found this picture in a book called "Nature's Electricity" by Charles K. Adams.
Why is negative ions flowing upwards while the positive are flowing towards earth. I have tried to find a conventional explanation for this but I can't, the book did not give one. The Van Allan belt is also a mystery here. Why is our earth surrounded by a cloud of mainly negatively charged particles? Can it be that gravity attracts positive charge and repel negative charge?
Ok! This was some bits and pieces. Please ask if something is not so clear. I will go into more stuff related to Cater and gravity later for the purpose of showing that there are reasons for taking Cater seriously.
