Electromagnetic Radiation = Gravity Again.

So I'm probably wrong about this and I've touched on it before but I'm still wondering if gravity could be created by em-radiation.   The thing is that waves distort space right?  They are vibrating and space vibrates around them in concentric circles like those created by a stone dropped in a pond.  The more massive the planet the greater the vibrations.  When anything vibrates it becomes longer.   A string stretches when it vibrates that's why guitar strings are often actually springs aren't they?  So vibrations will stretch space. So if space stretches then wouldn't that create that warping of space that objects do?   The effect would be minimal of course and that's what we see since gravity is barely noticeable.  Amplitude is created by more vibrations.  Energy is conveyed by the speed of the vibration.   What happens is that pressure from the more dense empty space pushes objects toward the thinner more stretched space around a planet because that planet it stretching space by the heat motion along with any other kind of vibration em-radiation it gives off.

Ways to possibly test this:
  1. Since the hotter things give off more heat and radiation:
    1. There should be more gravity at the center of the earth
    2. Sun should have more gravity than it's mass would predict.  
    3. Gravity would change as an asteroid draws closer or further from the sun.
    4. Atomic bomb would shift gravity slightly towards itself.
    5. Perhaps in deep space travel gets quicker because you have less radiation and less gravity and rocket fuel might then great even greater propulsion.
  2. Practical side:
    1. By reflecting the inverse of the waves back in the opposite direction you could increase the density of space below an object that would counteract gravity.
    2. A spaceship could de-stretch space behind it and give itself forward motion.
Anyway this has probably already been hypothesized and discounted but I haven't heard it mentioned directly anywhere.

On the negative side how would Dark Matter work in this scenario.   Dark matter creates gravity but no visible light.  No Em radiation in any spectrum.   (Or does it)  perhaps the wavelengths are incredibly long.  Actually though radio waves have long wave lengths.   I have a theory though that every event creates waves.   What if the waves of dark matter are very small not really vibrations but concentric waves.   What if Dark energy creates waves the same way the motion of your hand through space creates a wave.

This leads to another question I have.   That if space is distorted by gravity then why don't we see a distorted picture of space?   Things distort in relation to other things or we would not notice them at all.   Take the expansion of the universe.  The universe is expanding yes but not everything in the universe is expanding.  What is conspicuous is not just what is expanding but what is not expanding.   We should separate that which does expand from that which does not expand.    Space is expanding but atoms and particles are not expanding.    The thing is that if space is expanding wouldn't everything also expanding?   They are a part of space themselves and are merely vibrations within space.

What if gravity itself were created by the expansion of everything including the atoms.    Then a planet would actually be growing in size constantly along with everything else.   When you jump in the air you are not coming back down but instead the earth is expanding along with you and is coming to meet you in the air.    The problem with that theory is that it wouldn't explain the motion of the moon around the earth.   The moon would continue on its way in it's current direction but would then appear to slow down as it's simply traveling in a straight line.

Another variation on my theory is that motion is necessary to create gravity.     I mentioned that un-stretched space creates puts pressure on the stretched space around a planet.  However even without the pressure you still have stretched space which creates more distance closer to the planet like a mountain or valley creates more distance.  I will now refer to the ant and tree analogy.   I prefer to use that than the bowling ball on a trampoline analogy because the trampoline analogy relies on gravity to work.  I mean shouldn't gravity be removed from the analogy if the analogy is about gravity?    So the ant walks along the grass then he arrives at the tree.  as he passes over the roots his path changes more tree ward till he arrives at the trunk.  He then spirals up the trunk of the tree because it was in his path but he never stopped traveling in a straight line.   If the ant were not in motion though if he stopped he would not move toward the tree.   So in the same way there is a modification to this theory in which if a planet were truly stationary in space then it would not have gravity with respect to another object that were stationary.  

Another modification is that everything always has the same net speed.   This would perhaps explain why the center of the galaxy is moving just as fast as the outside.  The reason the galaxy is a spiral tells you that everything moves at the same speed.   If the center moved more slowly you would have straight spokes rather than a spiral.  If the center were moving more quickly you would have concentric rings like a baby solar system or Saturn's rings.  Although they figured out the speed at the center as opposed to the speed at the outside.

This pressure would also end up pushing the galaxies apart on the largest scale causing the universe to expand.    Galaxies spiral because the gravity is lesser.
