So... how does that suggest that gravity has a local component?
Because gravity becomes not a distortion of space or a stretching of time, the gravitational acceleration effect we see is because of the interactions of the zero point energy field.
The pointer I gave you is for the abstract, the article is available online, but you have to really, really dig for it.
Here’s another presentation Puthoff gave to Nasa.

And from the paper I just cited...
“Sakharov came to the conclusion that the entire panoply of general relativistic phenomena could be seen as induced effects brought about by changes in the quantum-fluctuation energy of the vacuum due to the presence of matter.”
Now, Sakharov himself ain’t no slacker.
He is credited as being the father of the Soviet H-bomb!
