 Hello Everyone !!! First of all, I don't claim this theory to be mine. This theory is formulated by someone else, I don't remember his/her name.  Gravity Waves Resonation Theory :  The actual theory is that since electricity can be "transmitted" through the Aether through electric scalar and vector waves, and Magnetic energy through magnetic scalar and vector waves, gravitational scalar & vector waves too can exist !! A Gravity wave is the temporal "shape" of the electric and magnetic vector and by changing this shape, the molecular construction of the matter transmitting the waves is changed. Since there are an infinite number of parallel, real Universes, the gravity vector coil may allow the psychic (Scalar EM brainwaves) postulation of reality through the G-vector.
