Everyone knows

that gravity is due to objects pulling on one another…right?

For more than three hundred years we have been taught that gravity is due to objects pulling upon one another; the time has come to either support this claim with solid, verifiable evidence or stop teaching it to our children as if it were a proven fact.

The fact that gravity exists and that objects tend to move toward one another is not being challenged; only the often-invoked claim that objects exert a pull upon one another is being challenged.

Logical Universe explains, contrary to popular belief, that gravity is due to the fabric of the universe pushing objects toward one another. This is evidenced by the direct relationship that exists between light and gravity that is demonstrated by the inverse similarities between the motion of light and the action of gravity as well as their equal velocities.

I Michael F. Jones, author of Logical Universe will pay $15,000 to the first person on Earth to provide solid, verifiable evidence that gravity is due to objects pulling upon one another.

I hereby challenge all professors, teachers, authors, and others who claim that objects pull upon one another to cite a single experiment or observation that supports this claim.

Furthermore, I challenge all recipients of this claim to implore their professors, teachers, favorite authors and all others who make this claim, to cite a single experiment or observation that supports it.

If this evidence cannot be provided by American academia, I request, in the interest of promoting scientific literacy and accuracy, that all statements that suggest that objects pull upon one another be removed from American curricula.

Official Rules and Definitions

 Rules:

1. The intent of this challenge is to provide a $15,000 prize to the first person on Earth to provide solid, verifiable evidence that gravity is due to objects pulling upon one another. Any attempt to utilize any loopholes in the language of this challenge as a means to obtain the prize money without providing the required evidence will result in automatic disqualification of the offender.
2. Anyone wishing to provide the required evidence in order to claim the prize money, must first publish their findings in English, in an American, nationally recognized, peer reviewed scientific journal. Once published, the findings, the journal entry and all other relevant information must be submitted to Michael F. Jones who will then verify the accuracy of the claim before payment is made.
3. The claimant may be required to assist in the verification of the required evidence. This may include but is not limited to supplying necessary equipment and materials, operating equipment and materials and providing sufficient location(s) for said verification. All costs involved are the responsibility of the claimant.
4. Submissions must be sent to: Gravitational Challenge Submissions; P.O. Box 45470, Tacoma, WA 98445.
5. The required evidence must demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt that objects exert a pull upon one another.
6. Final acceptance of “solid, verifiable evidence” will be decided by Michael F. Jones at his sole discretion.
7. This Logical Universe Gravitational Challenge expires at midnight December 31^st 2007. Upon request this challenge may be extended by Michael F. Jones.
8. Any and all taxes due are the responsibility of the winner.
