Proof of cause of gravity

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of particle-wave duality and how it is caused by the motion of particles in the fabric of space. The pressure towards us from the fabric of space produces gravity, and this is the mechanism behind the acceleration due to gravity. This understanding also explains why apples fall. The conversation also mentions an article published in Electronics World, which reviews and extends the mathematical proof for the mechanism of gravity and resolves problems with general relativity. It is proposed that this model can be used to rigorously test the consequences of this physical fluid model for the fabric of space. The conversation also mentions the fixed 377 ohms impedance of the vacuum to electromagnetic energy, which suggests that the fabric of space is a non-particulate

So Brad_AD23, let's try a simple experiment, logical and consistent.

Draw a circle r = 5, at this point we see acceleration due to gravity as being equal to 5 m per sec2, and, as you have so insistently, and repetitively, told me, all of the vectors cancel to ZERO "NET" force, but there is pressure, as that is the resultant of the "Zero 'Net' force".

So Brad_AD23, as I have put in my profile, I was a mechanic, as there are lots of kinds of mechanics, Auto, Truck, Gas, Diesel, Electrical, Engineering, Robotic, Stationary, Ship, Submarine, Aerospace, Airplane, Small engine, Industrial, Spacecraft, etc. etc. I will not tell you which combinations of those I have been, but I have the experience and the learning to understand (Some/most?) mechanical things.

Now, the pressure that is exerted within that circle, r = 5, is a mechanical pressure, (from, as you two keep repeating, from "All of the weight above") and one of the features of mechanical pressures is that they are even throughout. Across the diameter of that circle the pressure is isotropic and homogenous.

(The same at all points, to the center, and back out)

Now, in that circle, draw me another circle at r = 2, and here we will see the waning of the force of gravity, as both you and Heusdens keep telling me it diminishes all the way down, so here the force of acceleration due to gravity is 2 m per sec2, and all of the vectors cancel out to equate to a pressure exertion. (Zero "net" force, ergo, now a pressuriz(ed)ing force)

Now, I want you to explain to everyone in this forum how the pressure that can be generated by a 2 m per sec2 force, can exceed the pressure that is generated by a 5 m per sec2 force, BECAUSE, very clearly, WE KNOW that the pressure is increasing, as we move towards the center of the Earth, without question.

Please use "consistent, and logical" reasoning to explain your response.


PS If you attempt to tell me, "Well (Mr.) Parsons, it sums", then I am going to have a great laugh, because if it is 'summing', then it must be at 7 m per sec2 that you have dodged the plume problem, well not surprising, NOT AT ALL!

Parsons, you have no idea about physics at all. It is a summing process (the pressure). But perhaps before we answer your question, you should answer heusdens and tell us what direction is the magnitude of the force then at the center of gravity? And also, for a more consice answer of your question, go back to one of those links I submitted sometime ago. I believe it describes a mechanism somewhere (not sure because its been awhile). At any rate the summing of the weight does occur, and the two forces meeting at one point do indeed create a pressure that is measured as force per area, and the gravitational forces do cancel out. Now, if you are so right Mr. Parsons, please submit your revolutionary work to a reputable journal and I look forward to reading it and seeing the actual mathematics behind your wacky gravity theory that has gravity vectors passing through the center of gravity like it didn't exist.

# 1) Did that already, so simply follow your own advice, and go look. (I have been explicite that I would not reveal the "mechanism", simply the result, which I have, soooo)


# 2) I have, there is no explanation, that is something that both, you, and heusdens, have been rather remise on, rather you have been very repetative with things like,

GET A PHYSICS BOOK (own two)

GO BACK TO SCHOOL (still learning)

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT NEWTON SAID (really, your right, I never met the man, but I have read some of his historical works)

If there is an explanation, cite it please, you do know where your own work is, don't you?

EDIT PS went back and fixed the error in that mis-cited post.

As I have told you, I have already posted the responce to that, it is in the previous writing.

Secondly, for someone who has offered very little, in the manner of explanations, (other then repepepepepepepetitions) I sincerley don't think you have the right to DEMAND anything from me, after all, you have never addressed the plume question, and neither have you answered to me on just how you accomplish getting the r = 2 circle to pressurize in a manner greater then the r = 5 circle has already accomplished!

(without "summing it' hence r = 7, and if you want to tell me you believe that it works as you have described it, without explaining exactly how that pressure differential is accompished, go to New York City, the have a bridge, someone wants to sell it to you, cause if you would wish to fool yourself, go right ahead, you need not my permission, simply that you will not be fooling me!...got that?)

God willing, I will cede the floor to anyone who can prove that that r = 5, r = 2 thing can be worked. (without summing it!)...otherwise simply accept that "current theory", as it was understood, has been proven to be wrong! simple as that.

By Zero Point Energy, (Principal!) the G/T cyclic, that I have mentioned, in this thread as well, it is shortwaved, and cycled back out as thermal energy, that is where the gravitational energy, culmatively, is directed.

Can you figure that one out?

Anyways, to get back to Nigel.

I have a few questions for you.

1. Gravity is caused by an isotropic pressure field that is shielded by mass, so you claim. That is, no matter where you are on the surface of the earth, there will be a force coming from above to push us down. We may view this as a bunch of arrows directed towards the center of the earth. My question is, what causes those arrows (in this case the pressure) to want to push down on the Earth in the first place? If we remove the earth, the vectors should still have to point towards a central point (I believe cosmologists refer to this as a hedgehog). The pressure field cannot simply revert to a no mass state, for which direction would the pressure go?


2. Regardless of the outcome of question 1, this one is alone tricky. We know that your pressure 'stuff' cannot go through mass. After all, mass is what shields us from it, and if it was able to travel through mass, it would not be able to exert the force on us. So, say we dig a tunnel down into the earth, it doesn't matter how deep. On the top of this tunnel, we put a lid, with a ball attatched to a mechanism. The tunnel is now shielded by the lid, and effectivly there should be no gravity in the tunnel now, since the pressure field cannot reach it (remember, the mass is shielding the inside of the tunnel from the force! Its as if the Earth itself was there and there was no tunnel, and if it can go through the lid, then how does it exert the force on us, and how does it not interfere with itself coming from opposite directions on the earth). So, we fire the mechanism, which let's go of the ball. According to this, the ball should remain where it is. After all, no downward force from above acting on it. It is shielded by mass from below, and by mass from above. Yet, observation time and time again shows the ball still falls. How is this so?
 
  • #323
I would concur Brad - the mass shielding rationale leaves something out - but the equation may offer insight into a holistic explanation of gravity based upon expansion - if mass reacts to expansion then the force vectors would be isotropically convergent upon the mass if the expansion were spherically symmetrical - and the strength thereof would depend upon two factors - the amount of mass and the acceleration factor G (vol accel/per unit mass). In other words, the combination of an acceleration field G and mass leads to a spatial pressure gradient as I suggested in the gravity paradox topic on the Forum. Anyway - I also would like to hear Nigel's response to your questions.
 
  • #324
It could indeed offer insight, but it has physical problems. A big one is number 1. The vectors cannot be arranged like that, unless they will be so for all time. And if they were to revert back to some other form if the Earth were no longer there, which form and why were they directed to the Earth then? Number 2 is also important. I too await some explination.

It is shielded by mass from below, and by mass from above. Yet, observation time and time again shows the ball still falls. How is this so?

ANSWER TO QUESTION 1: The inward space pressure is produced by the conservation of volume when there is an outward motion of mass. The first time I saw the aircraft film of the 11 megaton Castle shot 2, 28 Feb 1954, I was amazed that the steam or debris at ground level moves back towards ground zero as the blast moves outward!

This is not just an afterwind due to the low pressure under a rapidly rising fireball, it is a return of air which has physically moved outward. The expansion of hot air reduces the air density near ground zero to 1 % of normal air density, and the outward-blasted air returns in a "suction" phase directed back towards ground zero. This set off my search for a similar effect in the big bang, with the fabric of space taking the place of the returning air. It is useful to have a concrete analogy in your mind to help you get through doing the maths objectively.

ANSWER TO QUESTION 2: X-rays go through your hand, which is nearly empty. Gravity is the weakest force known in the universe. The amount of shielding is exceedingly small. We do not shield the Earth to any appreciable extent, nor does your tunnel lid. It takes a mass as great as the Earth to cause the shielding which makes all objects fall down with the same acceleration.

I think that Mr Parsons raised a point that a sheet of steel should have a different weight standing on end than it would have if flat. This doesn't measurably happen because (1) the steel is not doing the shielding that causes the acceleration towards the earth, that is being done by the Earth shielding the steel, and that shield is irrespective of the orientation of the shield, and (2) the gravitational mass points in the steel (fundamental particles) are very small, and even in a large amount of material, they will not be exactly behind one another.

If you had a big enough shield, then you could indeed do what you say. A lid with the mass of the Earth placed over a tunnel would have a decent effect on the space pressure and hence "gravity" in the tunnel.

What I would like to add is that, looking back at all this, I can see why people like Newton were sensible to not say what they had, mathematically proved until pushed. I am not a clever person in terms of exam grades, but I put a lot of hard work into the gravity mechanism, and thought that it was worth publication. However, if you work on anything like this, anything basic, you are censored out. You are ridiculed. If you then hit back, you have a personality problem. Anything you do is not tolerated, and you are called intolerant if you push. Science is not fun.
 
  • #326
Goodness, I used "Common Knowledge" to demonstrate that what Brad, and Heusdens, were saying was the manner of operation, was wrong!

I thought science was fun, because anyone who can understand/learn/explore/discover/advance it, can succeed at it!

(but you need to be able to prove it/&yourself)
 
  • #327
You still left a big gaping hole there Nigel. The vectors of the pressure that are supposedly being directed towards the mass have to have some reason for going that way. And what of when the mass is no longer at that point in space? How do these vectors readjust themselves to in effect return to this isotropic pressure field?


And 2 still leads to a begging question: If the shielding is so weak, and thus it can traverse through the earth, why are we not being pushed off the Earth from a mysterious force that comes out of the ground? I am not referrign to the normal force either. Or does it eventually just stop? And if that is the case, where? Certainly not the non-existant center of gravity (according to Mr. Parsons). So I guess my question still remains, how does it operate inside a massive body. And for that matter in orbits? Orbits are determined by the gravitational attraction of the body. But if it is the result of some shielding, and not the geometry of spacetime being warped, why is it that orbits exist? It should seem that any object in orbit should fall immediately towards the object it is orbiting in that case, since there is a force now pushing it towards the object but no shielding in any other direction in its orbit.

Also, why is it that if say the moon is at one point in its orbit, the side of the Earth opposite the moon will receive a stronger (not noticably stronger mind you) pull down? If they are already shielded from the rest of the earth, the moon should not make any difference.

Which proves the obvious, you can't even read.

and the red part, want to find where I stated that please, or simply admit to the above statement, as clearly, it holds more truth then you will ever admit to.

Furthered by the simplicity that neither of you will admit that in that, (as I had told you it was) inhomogenous and anisotropic "circle", (you do know what those two words mean, don't you?*) you cannot cancel out the unequal, and therefore not opposite, lines.

Right there you say you can't cancel out the forces at the center of gravity.

If # 1 then the force of gravity goes all the way to the center of the planet and DOES NOT self cancel, the measure of G, at the core, is NOT at zero! (as you would want me to believe)
Again a statement claiming the net force at the center of gravity is not zero.

  • #334
Until it was pointed out specifically by me that we were referring to the center of gravity, the discussion was operating under the assumption center of the Earth and core referred to the center of gravity.


and nobody is saying you said there was No center of gravity. By specific technicality you did however when you stated there was force there. Centers of gravity CANNOT have an unbalanced amount of force, otherwise they are no longer centers of gravity. Perhaps it is you who cannot grasp the differences.
 
  • #335
Nigel - I would agree that trying to get across a new concept is not fun - its an uphill battle because you - like an inertial mass, will necessarily experience a counter force whenever you attempt to make a change - Now while I would agree that the ultimate cause of gravity is expansion - I, like Brad, would object to the physical explanation that involves mass shielding - By the way, your equation is identical to that of Friedmann for a universe where q = 1 (no slowing due to gravity). For q = 1/2 (critical density), the coefficient is 3/8 rather than 3/4 - and this leads to a value of H = 57 (close to Sandage's value (56-58). Are you getting any responses from the physics community following the publication in Electrons World?
 
  • #336
Some more comments for Nigel - if anything useful is to come out of these forums, it will be because one person provokes another into thinking about things - or to examine their own theories - or contribute to another's idea which is not fully worked out, so with that in mind, let me ask the following: We will take for example a planet like the Earth which travels about the Sun - according to your rationale, the Sun is acting as a shield in some manner as to the field generated by expansion. Now let's reduce the size of the Sun to a Black hole - we know that from the standpoint of its affect on the Earth's orbit, it makes no difference whether the mass is concentrated in a small black hole (about 1/2 a kilometer across) or whether it is very large as it is at present - but how can the small black hole act as a shield? The mass of the Sun has not changed, but the shielding absorption area is drastically reduced. All of the lines of force that were partially absorbed by the Solar size must now be focused onto a small area (again for the Solar mass, I think the black hole radius is about a half a kilometer) and the absorption (affect) must be absolutely unchanged since the orbit of the Earth depends only upon G and the solar mass (not its size). The situation poses a radical change in the geometry of the rays that define the force lines

Again, you fail to read that I use that as a technical extension from your arguments which completely nullify the accepted definition of a center of gravity.

And that is fine if you don't wish to say what is going on there, but don't bring it up. This is for discussion, not saying "I am right and you are wrong, but I won't tell you what is going on that makes me right."

At any rate, I am not interested in you continuing to bring this discussion to a "he said/he said/he said/...etc" debate. You clearly disagree with the current definition of the center of gravity (which includes that inside a body the net gravitational attraction is zero) so you can't believe in that, and that is the definition I am using, not whatever yours is.

So, back to Nigel and yogi and me...we await your responses.

WOW Nigel you ever confuuuuused, "The steel is not doing the shielding that causes the acceleration"

If you had true 'proportionallity to mass', then you would not have needed to use 'surface area' in your planetary measurements.

But you have, and you obviously have confuuuused it to the point that even you don't can't understand what you are saying, ever neat!

No, Mr Parsons! If you drop 1 kg and 10 kg they accelerate at the same rate until air drag takes affect. Shielding of space pressure causes gravity towards the object. It is the bigger object which does the shielding. I fall down because space pressure comes from the side of me which is unshielded, not because of your rudeness!:smile:

We are pushed up by space pressure that comes up through the earth. But it is shielded by something called the earth. Hence the push we get upwards is very slightly less than that which we get downwards.

The Earth is a pathetic shield. Go to Jupiter or Saturn, and you will be crushed by gravity, because the bigger mass shields you more. Are you testing my theory, or my patience, Homer!:smile:

Testing your theory of course! If you are going to stick by it, patience ad infinitum is a virtue :)

However, I believe Yogi brought up an even more interesting challenge to your theory with his post, and I am very very much interested in a reply to that.

OK, Brad, I've already responded to part of this through a reply in which you were quoted by Mr Parsons (reply above).

As for your vectors. Put a globe of the Earth under water. It has a pressure acting on its surface from the water, and you can represent it by your vector arrows. Now take the globe away. You still have the arrows, but they converge and cancel one another, leaving just water pressure. The same happens with space pressure.

The fun thing: I can answer questions until the cows come home, but will anything ever come of it? Will the physics professors ever listen? :smile:

I don't deal with Friedman. The derivation has nothing to do with Friedman. I have already explained that while the result is a factor of 2 different from the "flat universe", I do not accept general relativity as it stands because it is just a mathematical marriage between space-time electrodynamics, gravitational potential energy conservation, and Newtonian gravity, which is fiddled into general relativity by setting the weak field solution equal to Newton.

In other words, Einstein had no mechanism. I respect what Einstein did as being the work of a genius. I just want a mechanism, and having had to derive it myself I want to make it available to people properly. This I am prevented from doing by the Gods of physics.

All I can really hope is that experimental data on the density of the universe will provide further validation, and that eventually people will investigate it properly in well-equipped computing and experimental labs, which are not available to me. My university does not even have a physics department. Thanks for your sympathy with the problems.:wink:

Now let's reduce the size of the Sun to a Black hole - we know that from the standpoint of its affect on the Earth's orbit, it makes no difference whether the mass is concentrated in a small black hole (about 1/2 a kilometer across) or whether it is very large as it is at present - but how can the small black hole act as a shield? The mass of the Sun has not changed, but the shielding absorption area is drastically reduced. All of the lines of force that were partially absorbed by the Solar size must now be focused onto a small area (again for the Solar mass, I think the black hole radius is about a half a kilometer) and the absorption (affect) must be absolutely unchanged since the orbit of the Earth depends only upon G and the solar mass (not its size). The situation poses a radical change in the geometry of the rays that define the force lines

Yes, Yogi. The shielding depends on the probability of two particles being in a line, which depends on their sizes. As the overall volume decreases, the particles of matter are compressed, and are closer. So there is more likelyhood of them statistically blocking each other. This would mean that for a black hole caused by a collapsing star, gravity might be less than currently predicted by the blanket application of Newton/Einstein. However, it would not be much. The Pauli exclusion principle limits the compression of matter, and applies to nuclear particles as well when you get down to that state. If particles are of the size of the Planck radius, then you need a lot of compression before any noticeable difference will occur between the Newton/Einstein empirical law and my mechanism.:smile:

The Earth is a pathetic shield. Go to Jupiter or Saturn, and you will be crushed by gravity, because the bigger mass shields you more. Are you testing my theory, or my patience,

Why did you bother to 'cite me' when you refer to none of it, what a maroooon.

As for testing your theory, no point in testing what is proven to be wrong, now is there. (then again, with your "two sidekicks" now...why bother)

And then there's Brad_AD23, didn't read carefully enough to realize Nigel was responding to me, not him, get some glasses Brad_AD23, or learn how to read Brad_AD23, or give it up Brad_AD23!

Just read this, by you, Nigel...
In other words, Einstein had no mechanism. I respect what Einstein did as being the work of a genius. I just want a mechanism, and having had to derive it myself I want to make it available to people properly. This I am prevented from doing by the Gods of physics.

Had to come back, to EDIT this, to tell you, "Thank You! Nigel" you just gave me the biggest laugh of my day!

Ps Nigel, so you don't think gravity goes past the surface of the earth, like down in the mines it no longer works, right? (How {insert insult} is that? rhetorically asked, of course)

Parsons I believe he was responding to both of us. The first part had a quote from you yes, but the second part has the answer to one of my questions (that is, if the space pressure can go through the Earth and push up on is). How funny...I guess you did not read that :)

Also, to Nigel.

Alright, you are treating spacetime (or just space) as a fluid here. How is it the sun or any other body can shield an object from pressure? If I put two balls in a tank under water, they both experience equal pressure. So, even if the sun somehow shielded the Earth from pressure, there is a lot of distance between the two, and plenty of space pressure from outside the line of sight of the two bodies to flow inbetween. Even then, in the line of sight between the two objects, there will be less pressure, due to mutual shielding..so should not objects be drawn to exist between the two? (PS I know the answer to this--it even supports you, but I want to make sure you catch it).

At any rate, let us also examine Yogi's situation. We have the same amount of mass present, but it is in a much smaller area. How does this smaller area still exert the same gravitational pull on earth? Einstein's explination of spacetime curvature serve to explain this, and one can see that in Newtonian mechanics the object is treated as a point anyways, but your explination requires there to be some surface area to shield. I agree that in a lot of cases your idea can be viewed as equivalent, but there do appear to be some differences here in what your idea will predict. The cause of gravity in your model suggests that there should be less attraction then between the black hole sun and the earth. Were that so, other observational evidence of binary systems with a black hole present would be far off from what they are (which have their orbital mechanics worked out the Einstein way).

What is gravity?

Gravity is a natural phenomenon by which all objects with mass are brought towards one another. It is a fundamental force of nature that is responsible for the motion of planets, stars, and galaxies.

What causes gravity?

The current accepted theory is that gravity is caused by the curvature of spacetime. The presence of mass or energy warps the fabric of spacetime, creating a gravitational field that pulls objects towards each other.

How was the cause of gravity discovered?

The concept of gravity has been studied and theorized by scientists for centuries. The most famous theory is Newton's law of universal gravitation, which was proposed in the 17th century. However, the understanding of gravity has evolved with the development of Einstein's theory of general relativity in the early 20th century.

Can the cause of gravity be proven?

While the concept of gravity has been proven through various experiments and observations, the exact cause is still a topic of debate and ongoing research. Theories such as general relativity and quantum gravity attempt to explain the cause of gravity, but there is still much to be discovered and understood.

How does the cause of gravity affect our daily lives?

The cause of gravity is essential in understanding the motion of objects and the behavior of the universe. It allows us to predict and explain phenomena such as planetary orbits, tides, and the formation of galaxies. Without gravity, life as we know it would not exist.
