Quantum, can you explain to uneducated Nancy, briefly, what GR is? I'm
reading this as G=Gravity and R=Repulsion, which I suspect is wrong. What
is the failure situation you mention?

Then you go on to explain the current human theory as two DIFFERENT
particles, moving at different speeds, and the problems encountered with
this theory, as follows:

Isn't one of the big problems in putting man into space the G force that
must be overcome when rocketing upward?  High blood pressure, flesh
pulled back taut against the face, etc.  Here again I'm sure I don't
understand what you mean by "contradict relativity" and what SR is
(Single Repulsion particle?)  How does the increased G force "contradict
relativity"?
