A fascinating read!

I have an objection to Part 6, the Yarkovsky force. I believe this is the YORP effect, which had other contributors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YORP_effect One of them was Vladimir Radzievskii, who was a big contributor to Le Sage gravity, the radiation model specifically. It baffles me how someone can be credited with something in science and then lose it years later! I had a nice interaction with Vladimir just before he died. He and his daughter helped get the Russian version of Pushing Gravity published.

YORP effect and push gravity are very interesting but the paper mention YORP latter on and it is a distinct albeit similar force

Also interesting to note how all those known forces mentioned - besides gravity, electric, magnetic - all work on push mechanics.

All those forces are not conjectured but known forces although sometimes hard to measure. This however is not exhaustive, a major physical force, that is the underatted reason of why spinning dust don’t accumulate speed past the speed of light and become blackholes, was recently proven: the Zeldovich force https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41825906 which considerably affects the CMB https://github.com/orgs/a-cosmology-group/discussions/279 There is also the topic of magnetic aligment of dust grains Besides this, the most underatted long distance known force is the bennet-pinch effect which might be the reason for the shape of cosmic filaments Also it was recently revealed that most asteroids comes from just three sources https://www.astronomy.com/science/most-meteorites-come-from-just-three-sources/ Of course this does not cover the many new physics possible long distance and sometimes anisotropic forces, such as modified electromagnetism

An incomplete article. They don’t mention different manifestations of the gradient force: the dipole force, the ponderomotive force, the Gaponov-Miller force, etc.
