'''Arthur Wilkinson''' is an author known for the book ''Questioning Gravity: A New Hypothesis'', in which he argues for a "push" theory of gravity driven by cosmic particles rather than an attractive force. He is listed in ''[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]''.<br />

==Work==<br />
''Questioning Gravity: A New Hypothesis'' was published in Worcester, England, in 1989 (ISBN 1854210726, 223 pages). In it, Wilkinson challenges the conventional understanding of gravity as an intrinsic attractive property of matter and instead proposes a mechanical, pressure-based mechanism. He suggests that gravitational acceleration arises because bodies are pushed toward one another by the pressure of fast-moving cosmic particles, and he identifies galactic cosmic radiation as the candidate agent for this pressure. This places his hypothesis within the tradition of "push" or Le Sage-type theories of gravitation, which lie outside the accepted framework of modern gravitational physics.<br />
