Did I get close there?
The next question is how this recurring change occurs, that is seems it would only change from one form to another and not back again.
So...this acceleration they speak of... More evidence of this mysterious fabric closing in behind the explosion...creating more pressure within than without...
I've somehow never gotten around to reading any Asimov. Have you ever read any Greg Bear? He's a pretty good storyteller who sometimes delves into more of the 'hard' sci-fi.
The medium is space-time, through which all particles- including photons- propogate...
You were expecting, maybe, the ether?
According to the standard model, it's a force carried by the graviton.Screw electromagnetic issues.
One can at least get one's head around issues involving the electromagnetic spectrum
What the hell is gravity?!

Not to be critical but those terms need better definition to be useful...
we have gone an awfully long time assuming phenoms like gravity are just unknowable

What terms? Spacetime? Particles?we have gone an awfully long time assuming phenoms like gravity are just unknowable
No, we haven't. Maybe you have, since you're an idiot. Scientists have been researching it and conducting experiments to try to find the answer for some time.
Believable answer?
We can conclusively prove that electromagnetic radiation behaves like waves. We can also conclusively prove that it behaves like particles. There is a lot of math, and even some high falutin language, that explains all of this, but it comes down to it happens. Because light is a particle it can travel through a vacuum. because it is a wave it can interfere with itself. Because it is both, and neither, it doesn't behave life either would.
"It just does"...isn't much of an explanation.
What are you on about now?Here is an interesting twist...What if we discover that light accelerates? Or slows down..and then accelerates again? Then what? That would indicate "something" other than a vacuum is involved.

Noone's saying that, you idiot.

I have a hard time buying that light changes back and forth from a particle to energy and back again without being acted upon by some force or thing.

Me...I don't do much sci-fi. When I tackle the tough questions I like to think I'm heading somewhere useful.

What if everything is always in some form of string state and thus always being acted upon by aspects of the matter/energy force in a transitive movement?
If we are all part of the vibration of power. If we are simply just forms of energy and matter each in their own state of transitional change, then the force just is...
I find it interesting that G-d said I am that I am. I am one. And the power that we are getting closer and closer to defining, is one as well and everything that is in our universe is either matter or energy or some form of transition of the two.
It all seems rather elegant to me as it is an order out of chaos.
Here is an interesting twist...What if we discover that light accelerates?
Does light accelerate into gravity? Light is a constant? How then can we accelerate it past its constant? We do that. How? Because it is only a constant in our frame of reference.
So, your question is a good one.

When I read sci-fi it is for enjoyment. I am not tackling anything tough at that time. I don't even want to think too deeply at all. I want relaxation and the enjoyment of someone's mind and views.
God said? I missed that lecture. Please Ropey...this is hard enough without making god jokes.

These are partial explanations. Like saying if it walks like a duck..and quacks like a duck science..
I'm certain that "something" helps shape the waves and helps propagate them and propel them along at the speed they started out at. Perhaps it is something like the effect of a wing except an electromagnetic application.
