Affectance Ontology is a whole mountain of explanation concerning literally everything throughout all of physics (and sociology, psychology, economics,…). And I really need someone who understands a bit less of it than I do to explain it to new comers.
As far as the effect called Gravity, here’s a pic (among very many). Affectance is “made of” what a physicist would probably call ultra-minuscule wavelets and spikes of electromagnetic noise/radiation.
What we call mass and gravity fields are made of that affectance. Mass is merely a high concentration of it and so called “empty space” is a very low concentration of it. The “gravity field” or “mass field” is everything in between. Affectance is always in motion, a sea of infinitesimal pulses speeding about, into and out of the higher traffic jams that we call “mass particles”. A particle is merely a traffic jam of fleeting affectance.
And surrounding every such traffic jam is gradually less jammed up fields of affectance getting less and less dense the further from the particle you get. That gradually lessening field of affectance is what we call a “gravity field” because the effect that it has is to cause any other affectance traffic jams to migrate closer to it (exactly like highway traffic jams and for the same reason - they will automatically migrate together).
Affectance becomes concentrated because EMR pulses delay each other and can build up so much that a center of congestion can occur that never goes away. That is what a sub-atomic particle is.
Between two mass particles, the affectance field is more dense, of course. And that means that more delaying is going on between the particles. And in turn, that means that the center of the traffic jams grows gradually toward the in between space. We measure that as a “pull of gravity” or “mass attraction”. The point is that there is no force there. It is only a traffic jam in motion, predictably toward any other traffic jam.
The following is an anime showing the affectance density relative to the affectance/mass/gravity field around it.
The bump is the particle (aka “traffic jam”) and the lower portion is the mass/gravity field around it which, in this case, is provided by a distant mass and causing the shown particle to grow slightly larger, gaining substantially in energy.
And what they are now calling “dark matter/energy” is merely a higher density affectance field that isn’t associated with any particles. Even when very widely spread out and transparent, affectance will still cause migrational motion, aka gravity.
