It would make sense, a Doppler like effect is very reasonable with electric fields. Now if this is so, it is very possible that gravity could be explained this way. Since Stewart is stuck in the ice, he may be delayed with his Doppler radar metaphor. So here is another slant on it. Since gravity already produces its own Doppler shift (we call it redshift), it would be an interesting exercise to look at this possibility in extra dimensions. that is of gravity itself being the 4-space relic of a 3-space electric field - which is of course, another way to look at electrogravity. The Doppler shift is the frequency shift caused by relative motion, but the gravitational version - which is redshift - does not involve apparent motion in 3-space, but it does if you consider to the effect as being over billions of years. IOW the relative motion is in hidden in spacetime. Because clocks in a strong gravitational field tick slower - the effect is similar to light leaving the surface of a strong field which will gradually have its frequency extended so that the signal (light spectra) arrives at a longer wavelength. You can also think of gravitational redshift on light as photons losing energy as they work their out of the strong gravitational field but it is no different than if it was a strong electric field, other than that time must be considered. For whatever reason, the Finn's seem to mull over these things more than most of us (probably the long winters) http://www.redshift.vif.com/JournalFiles/Pre2001/V00NO18PDF/NR18JAA.PDF Phil did not see his shadow so let's let the Finns sort it out.
