Circumstances of death

The man is mentioned in Wikipedia's article about "people who disappeared". I think a reference note regarding his alleged drowning would be in order. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.143.132.172 (talk) 03:48, 9 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Is it known when he was born? I tried looking for a bit, but couldn't find it.... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nn302 (talk • contribs) 20:09, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mechanical Theory of Gravity

Waterston devoted his life to the mechanical theory of gravity and developed the kinetic theory to test his hypothesis. While the kinetic theory has been accepted by mainstream physics, his ideas on interactions between rotational and linear motion of particles has continued to be ignored. Regardless of what we think about quantum mechanics and relativity, Waterston earned the right to have his crazy theories explored and tested, now that we have the compute capabilities to do so.
