In actual fact, I have a BA and a DPhil in Physics at Oxford. (That is the

OK. Then let's take that as prima facie evidence that you claim to have a
doctorate in Physics, which means you're familiar with Newton, right?
 
Even Newton said a priori that its action at a distance was preposterous,
but it was the best he could propose until Einstein enlightened all of us.
 
What did Einstein postulate is the true source of what we call gravity?

It would seem that I am not alone in believing that gravity exists.

I wouldn’t have bothered, but this turns up in an Institute of Physics
email that dropped into my inbox this morning. I decided that it was too
opportune to waste.

And so, farewell. May you live long and die happy!

Old John.
