gravity and dark matter explained

From a long post by me to the fumbling-towards-ecstasy malling
list on January 5, 1995, during early waxing crescent:

“...the sun is like the small bright flame at the top of a tall dark
candle much of which has little effect on local gravity but much
effect at large distances, and I bet effect on local gravidity. ...”

Of course I meant a higher-dimensional candle, and as noted
on my Salmon on the Thorns web page I did get a peek
into higher dimension(s) during my sun stare.

I also have considered the possibility of space tectonics
as an analogy to plate tectonics.
