Message: <blockquote data-quote="ronh" data-source="post: 1691380" data-attributes="member: 55514">Ardy, Thanks for introducing me to the exciting world of Chupacabras, or "goat suckers". (That is also another name for the night hawk or night jar, one of my favorite birds, my wife and I go out at sunset on the measatops and watch them fly.)  For this enlightenment, I owe you the secret of gravity. But I don't know it. At least not from a physics direction. Just describing what it does is enough of a challenge for the likes of me. But I've got this idea, that Gravity is generated by the universe's need to hold itself together. It's like, why does ice float? If it sank, and another layer froze and sank, etc., the pond would fill slam up with ice and all the fish would die. The universe is very smart like that, see? You just have to learn to think like a universe.Ron</blockquote>
