Hello again Mark, If you were suggesting that 'gravitation' refers to a particular static pattern of value, what exactly comprises (every last bit of it) that pattern?
Can such a question be answered? If yes, what is the answer? If no, why not? You might understand why, at the moment, I best the answer: opposite-from-non-gravitation. And sometimes I like to think of a pattern as a cloud of probability. Marsha On Jun 7, 2011, at 4:37 AM, MarshaV wrote: > > Mark, > > You ask a strange question.
