   It was proven (by Feynman?) that push gravity cannot work if whatever   
   flux does the pushing is reflected from a mass. That is because the   
   shadow of any body is exactly balanced by reflections from that body   
   from the other side. Therefore push *cannot* work by reflection.   
      
   The other possibility is push by absorption of the flux. This shows much   
   more promise because:   
      
   1. Such absorption would need to happen at the level of atomic particles   
   and would therefore cause increase in mass of particles as described in   
   Narlikar's variable mass hypothesis (VMH).   
      
   2. Such a change in particle masses over time would lead to a blue shift   
   of atomic spectra over time. This looks exactly like a red shift of   
   spectral lines with distance because distance is a measure of how far   
   back in time we look. So VMH automatically offers an explanation for the   
   cosmological redshift.   
      
   3. The rate of absorption must exactly explain the cosmological   
   redshift, and that rate will give exactly the correct strength of   
   gravity relative to e/m forces as 10^40 weaker.   
      
   4. It helps if it is understood that particles are some special form of   
   standing waves of e/m as described my Milo Wollfe who proved that all of   
   the properties of the electron were excactly matched by the Wave   
   Structure of Matter (WSM) model. The exact e/m wave structure of   
   nucleons has not been determined as far as I know.   
      
   5. When the particle standing wave is understood as an incoming and   
   outgoing (after it passes through the centre) wave as Feynman and   
   Wheeler almost came to understand for an electron then we can observe   
   the true meaning of the Large Numbers Hypothesis (LNH) as favoured by   
   Dirac and Eddington. When a wave has traveled 10^40 (Compton)   
   wavelengths of a nucleon then it spreads over a sphere of area of 10^80   
   times a nucleon by which point it becomes the incoming wave of all other   
   nucleons in the Universe. It is fully absorbed and re radiated at the   
   Hubble scale.
