Does Gravitation have a Physical Cause?

PSI Blog 20250428 Does Gravitation have a Physical Cause?

 

Dr. Steve Ruis, Chicago, IL, has questions:

 

“The Infinite Universe operates via collisions. Here a bat transfers motion to a baseball.

Dear Doctor Borchardt,

 

I haven't finished reading your relativity book yet (I have to set such books aside often to digest them a bit before taking them up again) but I am a nonbeliever in "space-time." According to some, Einstein eliminated the "force of gravity" a la Newton and replaced it with curved space time (with no explanation why space and time would link up rather than space and, say, temperature, also no explanation as to how the link would be established, and no explanation of how matter could distort ST (does it displace it like a rock in water?) and so on.”

 

[GB: Thanks for the interesting questions. I often get responses that simply advertise the reformist theories of others. Those generally are filled with numerous errors and violations of "The Ten Assumptions of Science." I admire your skepticism about Einstein’s General Relativity Theory. You are correct about its nonsensical assumption that time and matter form some weird combination that conveniently and coincidentally provides 4D salvation for the Big Bang Theory and its phony universal expansion interpretation of the cosmological redshift.

 

Space-time is an einsteinism, which means it is correct, but for the wrong reason. You are right that space-time hypothesizes no physical reason for gravitation. The “curved perfectly empty space” surrounding massive bodies is filled instead with aether. Aether particles are the accelerators that produce the acceleration of gravitation.[2]  The resulting deceleration of those particles produces a reduction in proximal aether pressure per Newton’s inverse square equation. That means there is an “aetherosphere” around every mass. It is the opposite of the atmosphere, which, of course, has a distal decrease in pressure, while the aetherosphere has a distal increase.

 

The aetherosphere thus forms Einstein’s curved space-time. Satellites entering that aetherosphere rotate around the massive body, with their normally straight-line motion following the path of least resistance. That is the point where distal and proximal pressures are equivalent. If the satellite tried to go straight instead of following the path of least resistance, it would run into an area of high distal pressure. Aether particles in that high pressure area would push the satellite toward the area of lower proximal pressure.]

 

“Here is my question, based upon a thought experiment. The example in my mind involves a star and a planetoid, but it could be any two masses, one much bigger than the other. The larger mass distorts the ST around it creating curved paths the smaller object to follow were it moving . . . but what if the two objects were placed in proxy with neither moving. Classically we would say that the smaller mass would "fall" into the larger one. But if the smaller mass is not moving, it would follow no path, so what causes it to move, according to Einstein?”

 

[GB: Actually, inertial motion, such as demonstrated by satellites is explained by Newton’s First Law of Motion, which I modified per neomechanics as “Every microcosm continues in uniform motion until the direction and velocity of its motion is changed by collisions with supermicrocosms.”[3]  That is the law of the universe, which fits with the true meaning of relativity discovered by Lucretius: the fact that everything in the universe is moving with respect to other things. So no satellite can be without motion.

 

The closest is this by Perplexity AI: “A stationary satellite is called a geostationary satellite. This type of satellite orbits the Earth at an altitude of approximately 35,800 kilometers (22,300 miles) directly above the equator and revolves in the same direction as the Earth's rotation. Because it completes one orbit every 24 hours—the same time it takes the Earth to rotate once—a geostationary satellite appears fixed at a single point in the sky to an observer on the ground.” In actuality, it is traveling 11,070 km/hr.

 

Satellites invariably slow down as they collide with aether particles (and the atmosphere). That is why we have leap years and leap seconds for Earth’s revolution and rotation. It is why the orbital distance decreases, with the satellite eventually being pushed to the ground. The only way for the orbit of a satellite to increase would be for it to be pushed by a collision from behind. That could be via an asteroid or a jet engine.]

 

I just don't see how the ST theories eliminate any "force of gravity."

 

[GB: They don’t, and that is why they are no better than “attraction,” which also does not explain gravitation in terms of physics. Real physics is simple, with force being defined as F=ma. All causes involve collisions per Newton's Second Law of Motion (Figure above). That means something having mass (m) must accelerate (a) another thing having mass. The motion of the collider decreases, while the motion of the collidee increases. Appropriate to today’s “age of irrationality,” Einstein magical “alternative truth” did not involve collisions. This conveniently prevented classical mechanics from destroying what remained of religion.]

 

Thanks for your work. I find it very stimulating (and difficult for an aged chemist to work through, even having been a physics buff (and cosmology and astronomy . . .) for many, many years.

 

[GB: Welcome. BTW: You are not the only one. The older we are, the harder it is to replace the myths we were forced to learn by regressive physicists and cosmogonists. Just think what you have to do in order to return to rationality. You must now replace: “finity” with “infinity,” “time as a dimension” with “time as motion,” “light as particle motion (of photons)” with “wave motion (in an aether medium),” “perfectly empty space” with “infinitely subdividable matter,” “systems analysis” with “univironmental analysis,” etc. BTW2: You might want to read "The Scientific Worldview (2nd edition)," as it goes through my logic step by step. You will find that the infinity assumption solves so many previously unresolved problems. In particular, its inclusion in “neomechanics” removes the finity that plagued classical mechanics and set the stage for Einstein’s imaginary “alternative truth.”]
