Gravity, light, no rainbow......part of the Unified Pynchon Theory

[Cometman]

Live and loin...

Here I thought that gravity was neither particle nor wave, but
a field - something that wouldn't have to propagate because it's
already there, hanging out.

In physics class we saw this movie with a picture of a bowling
ball on a rubber sheet (enuretic?) to illustrate gravitys' deformation
of local space - how could it do that if it had to propagate?

Anyway that sort of reminds me of that book "The Curve of Binding
Energy" by John MacPhee, which leads us, in a physics-for-poets
sort of way, by a commodious vicus of recirculation,
back to the Gravity's Rainbow concept...
