'''Frank W. Duvall''' (published as Frank W. DuVall) is an author known for the self-published book ''What Gravity IS with Other Challenging Thoughts on Physics'', in which he proposes an unconventional mechanical account of gravitation. He is listed in ''[[The Worldwide List of Dissident Scientists]]''.<br />

==Work==<br />
Duvall's book ''What Gravity IS with Other Challenging Thoughts on Physics'' was published in 2007 by Dorrance Publishing (Pittsburgh) as a 182-page hardcover (ISBN 978-0-8059-7623-6). In it he argues for a specific physical mechanism of gravity — describing, in his words, "what gravity IS, how it is generated, propagated and attractively absorbed" — together with other proposed solutions to what he calls enigmas of physics. Duvall frames part of the work as a "bridge from physics to creationism," treating gravitational energy within a religiously motivated interpretation of nature. His positions lie outside the accepted framework of modern gravitational physics.<br />
