<Benj puts on best stupid look on face and pretends to be Odd>

"Well, Benj, if you are so certain that all the scientists in the world 
with all the theory of general relativity don't know the mechanism of 
gravity, they why don't YOU tell us what the real mechanism is, Huh???"
You can't? Huh Huh Huh. I WIN!
<scene>

Odd, it is really common for really stupid people (you, journalists, 
libs) to flatly say that Newtons law of gravitation "explains" gravity. 
That only demonstrates total ignorance of science. Newton's laws 
"explain" nothing. They DESCRIBE the operation of gravity which is not 
the same thing. Likewise that is equally true for General Relativity and 
all that spacetime nonsense.

The first step toward an explanation as John has pointed out to you many 
times would be to understand what kind of "push" can create the apparent 
"attraction" pull. Pretty much nobody has done that except for the 
Feynman-Wheeler theory which so far has seen virtually no efforts at 
verification. Indeed such studies are pretty much considered a 
"forbidden" topic in science.
