Gravity is a Push is a 1979 book by Walter C Wright, published by Carlton Press. It argues that gravity is not a pull, as in Newton's theory, but a push produced by an all-pervading flux — a modern restatement of the "push" or shadow theory of gravitation associated with Nicolas Fatio de Duillier and Georges-Louis Le Sage.
Overview
Wright reports that his interest in gravitation began in 1962 when his young son questioned Newton's account — asking, for instance, why both sides of the Earth have high tides if the Moon pulls the water toward it. After more than a decade of research and experiment, Wright published his conclusion that a pushing agent, rather than an attractive force, drives what we observe as gravity.
