Electrical Engineer(Gravity, Gravity as a Field of Small Forces)Robert \"Bob\" de Hilster worked as an electrical engineer in research for over 40 years, specializing in the area of telecommunications in which he holds several patents. He worked on one of the first large commerical computers, the Remington-Rand Univac. He worked over twenty years for North Electric in Ohio developing digital switching systems. Robert then worked for another 20 years for Itec in Huntsville Alabama working again in the area of telecommunications.
Current Work
In 2006, Bob started work on a gravity experiment to try and detect gravity as a particle. Since then, he has developed his own equation for gravity that is based on a cloud of forces allow him to simulate any physical setup. De Hilster has also looked into his gravity equation explaining anomolies in orbits, planet rotation, dark matter, to name a few. Robert is one of the main characters in the documentary film Einstein Wrong - The Miracle Year coming out in late 2012.
Education
1960 B.S. in Engineering Physics from the University of Michigan
