I'd say, to a degree, we are on the same page about some issues. Baffling disorders? I have many symptoms of ALS, but my current neurologist says CTS, despite the fact that I'm right handed and have no habitual repetative strain events in my left hand where the problem exists in its fullest as well as (he tested this) no feeling in the tops of my feet. Sporadic ALS seems to fit the symptoms best, but I'm not a medical doctor, so who am I to self diagnose?
Gravity? We would first need to examine how Einstein welded together light and gravity, then take it one step further and couple it to time. Quite a trinity, eh?
