Remster,
I have a question about the wording you used for theory 2.

When you say a powerful being makes it
seem that objects behave in an anti-Newtonian way, what exactly are you trying to say? I'm having a hard time imagining this. If, for instance, the anti-Newtonian theory says that lead can be turned into gold, how would a being make lead only appear to be gold? After all, if the metal was shiny like gold had the density, the conductivity, melting point, etc.. of gold then it would be gold. Or, if the anti-Newtonian theory suggested we could build some dark matter engine to send spaceships to other solar systems how could this merely be an illusion? Wouldn't this being have to, in fact, be causing objects to behave in an anti-Newtonian way rather than just giving the illusion that they behave in an anti-Newtonian way?
