- Well, at least I know that Beckmann still reads and posts to the net.

- I for one would be very interested in seeing these equations. I

- gives the same answers as GR, but where it gives different answers,
- such that the two theories could be tested. A prediction of what your
- theory would give in the situation of two closely orbiting newtron
- stars, such as PSR 1913+16 is beleived to be, would be most
- interesting to compare with the GR prediction.
