A way to test Van Flandern's Exploding Planet hypothesis.
Van Flandern was a Harvard physicist who among other things adopted Lasages idea about gravity that Newton Maxwell Galelio and others had considered.
Laage gravity is a form of gravity also called push gravity and it's based on the idea that particles might be enough to explain it.
I myself had considered La Sage's idea.
Calculations by Feynmann and others had seemed to discredit particle gravity mostly because of friction.
Because of his belief in LaSage gravity Van Flandern also divised an idea called the Exploding Planet Hypothesis.
Since friction is a major problem of Lasage gravity, Van Flandern believed it might be solved with small holes in the field so the particles would just move through with no problem.
Even so they would still be there by this event, and Van Flandern used the idea of friction of these particles to explain why planets heat from the inside. He believed that the heat is partially from radioactivity but also from the friction of these gravitons.
I had considered Lasage gravity and my solution to the problem of friction, which is the main problem was not to invoke the idea of holes in the field but rather that the quanta have a change of phase that removes the external waves of gravity from the inside of the quanta. This will be rather like paramagnetism and by this method the waves stay the same on the outside but only once they reach the inner area of the radius of action do they become the particles to exert the force of gravity.
The problem of friction with thus be solved by making gravity only about waves externally or mostly. (Gravity also attracts itself a bit and by this I would think that it would have a bit of quantum nature of its own like the heavy quanta.)
In this idea because of the phase change between the internal and external field inside the quantum there's a fast spin that connects to the external field by way of the particles so this maintains tension to the field that Newton believed mass has.
I still believe in quanta inside of the radius of action because of what I call the Boat in the River method.
If you're in a boat going downstream as with the particles when you move, you feel no force on the sides because the particles are mostly at rest in your rest frame moving with you.
But when you move around a bit you experience the force of the particles on the side of your arms.
This would seem like the particulate nature of gravity, because particles have sides and this could be how it exerts it's force.
In this way the particles of each quanta might act by proxy by way of the waves between them from the radius of action of the other quanta.
So in my belief particles are still viable and also for inertia because of the association of inertia and gravity like by relativity. Particles radiaing outward could also cause centrifugal force by the same sort of gas radiation pressure.
I believe in this as my edit of Lasage gravity, yet without the friction.
Entanglement in this view is caused by the small constellation of the gravitons around the radius of action of each quantum that is resonating with the other distant one with the code that only that one knows. Like two fans that you set one spinning and the other resonates with it and continues to spin, when you measure one quanta with spin up the other goes down with spin down and vice versa.
I use this idea of long-range waves that are super high-speed and low energy to explain why Maxwell's idea of the snapback of the light as measured by the force between the electric charges just fits the speed of light.
Yet if it has this high density because it's moving so fast as a transverse wave the reason the planets will move through without any resistance whatsoever seen might be because the waves are moving so fast and so efficiently as a superfluid, they themselves are really difficult to detect and are indeed dark matter for gravity and dark energy for centrifugal force and inertia.
So gravitons are there in a sense yet they're removed to a less active form of the physics.
Van Flanders idea was that the gravitons are super high speed and so at the center of masses like the Earth they might cause enough friction to heat the earth, the sun and other planets. His idea was this graviton friction might have caused the proto asteroid planet to have exploded.
Here again, though friction may be the main problem with particles in the physics in this form.
External particles will always have sides and they'll always have friction. And this was what Van Flandern believed for part of the heating source of the planet.
Like Van Flandern I believe gravity may propagate at much faster than light by my generalization of Maxwell's method.
Relativity itself seems mostly about the much higher energy field of inertia since inertia is so heavily involved with uniform motion special relativity excels so well about. Centrifugal force is hugely stronger than gravity, and special relativity fits the speed of light so well and is about inertia I believe that what LIGO found is the speed of inertia not gravity.
But super high speed particles seem definitely out because of friction.
And so I think of it as a reduced version of Lasage gravity with much faster than light waves for gravity moving between the field lines of electromagnetism and the particles exerting the force at shorter range. Small particles are not out of the question because Einstein thought of the possibility of a low energy particle to get around the quantum Uncertainty problem.
I think first of all since gravity operates quite readily on mass around us, this heating by the gravitons by Van Flanders method should be quite apparent.
And here I offer another way to prove or disprove this hypothesis since it doesn't seem to be impossible either. Newton and Maxwell both considered particle gravity.
As with the usual Lasage idea there will be shielding and over historical time we would see shielding of the Earth with the moon, eclipse after eclipse.
If this wouldn't disprove Lasage gravity as it was originally devised, one way to definitely decide this would be I think about looking at larger masses as they spin around.
If we look at super clusters of galaxies, the path they take as they eclipse will be much different if there's any kind of shielding as predicted by Van Flandern's adoptation of Lasage's idea.
And also about pulsars, if they have even the slightest shielding whatsoever, it's been known that this would cause a huge explosion.
Even so, since the masses are larger I think it's worth checking about the paths of the motion of the supercluster bodies with the eclipses.
Since gravity attracts its own field somewhat as has been found this might be the degree to which particles are about gravity somewhat as LaSage and Van Flandern might have believed..
The waves between the electromagnetic field lines which might be both about dark matter and dark energy (for centripetal and centrifugal force) might act is a sort of cosmic oil to make it so the heavy quanta could go on spinning even with the friction of the particles and the reason dark matter and dark energy have been so difficult to find other than the pressure of the field as you change direction when you're jogging around the room will be because they're low energy and they have a phase change so they're much faster than light and they can also change much faster than light and with their flexing they would hold the quanta with cohesion and also they would spin indefinitely.
The quanta can't change their spin much because of the particles because it takes more energy over the quantum well to slow them down than they have spinning, but for gravity I believe that this might be possible and the gravity can't be completely external to the heavy quanta (because they interact to conserve energy) even while as I say by what I call line removal, LR. This would mostly explain why there's no gravity shielding and why gravity as known by eclipses and doesn't have quantum numbers or super strong force by moving at close radius of the quantum.
