Why, if Gravity acts towards an object, are scientists trying to find emmissions from the object ? Wouldn't the force of those emmissions be going in the wrong direction ?

No.

You have a lot of learning to do before you are capable of caclulating or discussing what goes on at the sub-atomic level.

Re:
From what you've said and demonstrated so far, there's no explanation of what is happening, and ther's not even a hint of why. What you've presented is a somewhat limited calculator with a graphical interface.

Sorry, that's still not a hint of why (it's too trivial to be useful), and it's still sounding like a limited calculator with a graphical interface.
​
Why is the characteristic impedance of the vacuum 376.730313461... ohms?
​
How do you calculate your mass for the photon?

Re:
Your initial statements on conservation laws were in error - which lends me to believe you don't know any physics.
​
He also thinks that particle exchange can only cause repulsive forces (in message 4, IIRC). It appears that his knowledge of physics is confined to a few poorly-remembered analogies.

Re:
I think you mean his nonsensical statement in message #8 about emissions from a gravitating object.
​
You're right. I should have looked it up.
​
I guess the concept of energy being transmitted by gravitational radiation is giving him trouble.
​
ISTR reading a popular book on QM in which transmission of "force" by particle exchange was likened to two skaters tossing a bowling ball back and forth. I don't remember which book it was. The author noted that this analogy was not entirely satisfactory because it modeled only repulsive "force". I think WebFeet is stuck on that or a similar analogy.

Re: Humble Pie - best served in Large Amounts
The photon has no mass.
​
Why?
​
The photon is represented in the HLT by E = R
​
Why?
