GravitationalAttractionandUnificationofForcesInchapter6,thereaderwasaskedtotemporarilyconsiderallforcestoberepulsive.Thiswasasimplificationwhichallowedthecalculations inchapter6 toproceedwithoutaddressing themorecomplicatedsubjectofattraction.Inchapter7,vacuumenergy/pressurewasintroducedasanessentialconsiderationinthegenerationofallforces,butespeciallyforcesthatproduceattraction. In this chapter we are going to attempt to give a conceptually understandableexplanationfortheforceofattractionexertedbygravitywhenabodyisheldstationaryrelativetoanotherbody.Physical Interpretation of General Relativity: Einstein’s general relativity has passednumerousexperimentalandmathematicaltests.Thismathematicalsuccesshasconvincedmostphysicists to accept the physical interpretation usually associated with these equations.However, the most obvious problem with the physical interpretation is examined in thefollowing quotes. The first is from B. Haisch of the California Institute of Physics andAstrophysics.“The mathematical formulation of general relativity represents spacetime as

Talkingaboutcurvedspacetime,thebookPushingGravity M.R.Edwards states:“Logically,asmallparticleatrestonacurvedmanifoldwouldhavenoreasontoend

The equations of general relativity accuratelydescribegravityonamacroscopicscale.However,theseequationsaresilentastothephysicalinterpretation,especiallyatascale spatialortemporal wherequantummechanicstakesover.Gravitational Nonlinearity Examined: Previouslywe reasoned that spacetimemust be anonlinearmedium for waves in spacetime and gravity is the result of this nonlinearity.

First: the equationF A2ω2Z /c is for a traveling wave striking a surface. This traveling wave implies theradiationofpowerthatisnothappening.Second:awaveinspacetimetravelingatthespeedoflightgeneratesarepulsiveforceifitinteractsinawaythatthewaveisdeflectedorabsorbed.Gravity isobviouslyanattractive force. Wehave themagnitudeof the forcecorrect,but themodelmustberefinedsothatthereisnolossofpowerandsothattheforceisanattraction.Thereareseveralstepsinvolved,anditisprobablydesirabletobeginwithabriefreview.Recallthatwearedealingwithdipolewavesinspacetimewhichmodulateboththerateoftimeandvolume. There are twoways thatwe can express the amplitude of thedipole in spacetime:displacement amplitude and strain amplitude. The maximum displacement of spacetimeallowed by quantum mechanics is a spatial displacement of Planck length or a temporaldisplacementofPlancktime.Sincetheseareoscillationamplitudes,wesometimesusetheterm“dynamic Planck length Lp” or “dynamic Planck time Tp”. As previously explained, thesedistortionsofspacetimeproduceastraininspacetime.ThestrainisadimensionlessnumberequivalenttoΔl/lorΔt/tInthiscaseΔl/l Lp/ andΔt/t Tpωc.Inchapter5weimaginedahypotheticalperfectclockplacedatapointonthe“Comptoncircle”ofarotarasillustratedinfigure5‐1.Thisistheimaginarycirclewithradiusequaltotherotarradius .Thisclock hereaftercalledthe“dipoleclock”withtimeτd wascomparedtothetimeonanotherclockthatwecalledthe“coordinateclock” withtimetc .

Does the volume oscillation of spacetimeproduce a net change in the average volume near a rotar? Since we are going to initiallyconcentrateonexplainingthegravitational forcebetweentwofundamentalparticles,wewillinitiallyconcentrateontheeffectontime.Therefore,doestherateoftimeoscillationcausethedipoleclocktoshowanetlossoftimecomparedtothecoordinateclock?Ifspacetimehasnononlinearity then the clockswould remain substantially synchronized. However, if there isnonlinearity,thedipoleclockwouldslowlylosetime.Aspreviouslyexplained,thestrainofspacetime instantaneousslopeinfigure5‐3 hasalinearcomponentandanonlinearcomponent.Theproposedspacetimestrainequationforapointontheedgeoftherotatingdipoleis:Strain Aβsinωt Aβsinωt 2… higherordertermsignored Thelinearcomponentis“Aβsinωt”andthefirstterminthenonlinearcomponentis Aβsinωt 2.TherewouldalsobehigherordertermswhereAβisraisedtohigherpowers,butthesewouldbesosmallthattheywouldbeundetectableandwillbeignored.Thisnonlinearcomponentcanbeexpanded:Aβsinωt 2 Aβ2sin2ωt ½Aβ2–½Aβ2cos2ωt

Therefore we have succeeded in producing the previously discussed weak gravity gravitational magnitude β ≈ Gm/c2r. This is the curvature of spacetime that we associate with gravity.ThissimpleevaluationisanothersuccessofthismodelbecausethetermGm/c2r istheweakgravitycurvatureofspacetimeproducedbymassmatdistancedr.Forexample,thepreviouslydefinedgravitationalmagnitude isβ≡1– dτ/dt .

This timewewill emphasize the roleofvacuumenergy,circulatingpower,thecancelingwaveandnon‐oscillatingstraininspacetime.Arotarisarotatingspacetimedipoleimmersedinaseaofvacuumenergywhichisequivalenttoa vacuum pressure. This vacuum energy/pressure is made up of very high energy density1046J/m3 dipolewavesinspacetimethatlackangularmomentum.Therotaralsohasahigh

The resonant wave that is propagating away from the dipole cancels out thefundamental radiation from the dipole. Besides having the correct frequency and phase toproducedestructive interference, the cancelingwave alsomustmatch the rotar’s circulatingpower. Thismeansthatthecorrectpressureisgeneratedfromthevacuumenergy/pressurethatisrequiredtocontaintheenergydensityoftherotar.Onlyafewfrequenciesthatformstablerotarscompletelysatisfytheseconditions.Forexample,anelectronhasacirculatingpowerofabout64millionwatts.Inordertocancelthismuchpowerfrombeingradiatedfromtherotarvolume,thecancelationwavegeneratedinthe vacuum energy must have an outward propagating component of 64 million wattsattemptingtoleavetherotar’svolumeandaninwardpropagatingcomponentofthesamepower.Therecoilfromtheoutwardpropagatingcomponentprovidesthepressurerequiredtostabilizetherotatingdipole that is therotar theelectron . Thispressurecanbe thoughtofasbeingcarriedbytheinwardpropagatingcomponentthatreplenishestherotatingdipole.


Ifitwaspossibletoseethisprocess,wewouldnotseeoutwardorinwardpropagatingwaves.Wewouldonlyseethesumofthesetwowaveswhichisastandingwavewhichdecreasesinamplitudewithdistancefromthecentralrotar.Astandingwaveintherotar’sexternalvolumemeans thatnopower isbeing radiated.These standingwaves cause the rotar’s electric fielddiscussedlater . Wewouldalsoseethattherewasaslightnon‐oscillatingresidualstraininspacetimewithstrainamplitudeofAβ2/ gm/c2r. Newtonian Gravitational Force Equation:Therearestilltwomorestepsbeforewearriveattheexplanationthatgivesthecorrectattractingforceatarbitrarydistancebetweentworotars.Wewill startbyassuming twoof the same rotars massm separatedbydistance r. Itwaspreviously explained that deflecting all of a rotar’s circulating power generates the rotar’smaximumforceFm.Arotaralwaysdependsonthepressureofthespacetimefieldtocontainitscirculatingpower.Whentherotarisisolated,theforcerequiredtodeflectthecirculatingpowerisbalanced.However,agravitationalfieldproducesagradientinthegravitationalmagnitudedβ/dr.When a first rotar is in the gravitational field of a second rotar, there is a gradient dβ/dr that exists across the rotar radius of the first rotar. This means that there is a slight difference in the force exerted by vacuum energy/pressure on opposite sides of the first rotar. This difference in force produces a net force that we know as the force of gravity.Thiswillberestatedinadifferentwaybecauseofitsimportance.Imaginemassm1beingarotarrotatingdipole attemptingtodispersebutbeingcontainedbypressuregeneratedwithinthevacuumenergy/pressurepreviouslydiscussed.Thispressureexactlyequalsthedispersiveforceof the dipole wave rotating at the speed of light.

However,theforceisreallycomingfromthevacuumenergyexertingarepulsivepressure. There isgreaternormalizedpressurebeingexertedonthesidewith thelower Г. The two rotars are really being pushed together by a force of repulsion that isunbalanced.


CorollaryAssumption:The force of gravity is the result of unsymmetrical pressure exerted on a rotar by vacuum energy. This is unbalanced repulsive force that appears to be an attractive force.Example: Electron in Earth’s Gravity:Wewilldoaplausibilitycalculationtoseeifweobtainroughlythecorrectgravitationalforceforanelectronintheearth’sgravitationalfieldbasedonthe above explanation. We will be using values for the electron’s energy density and theelectron’smaximumforcethatwerepreviouslycalculatedbyignoringdimensionlessconstants.Therefore, we will continue with this plausibility calculation that ignores dimensionlessconstants. An electron has internal energy of Ei 8.19x10‐14 J and a rotar radius of 3.86x10‐13m. Ignoring dimensionless constants, this gives an energy density of about

Ei/ 1.4x1024J/m3.Thisrotarmodelofanelectronisexertingapressureofroughly1.4x1024N/m2.Thispressureoverareaλc2producestherotar’smaximumforcewhichforanelectronisFm 0.212N obtainedfromℙq 1.4x1024N/m2 3.86x10‐13m 2 0.212N .Theweakgravitygravitationalmagnitudeis:β Gm/c2r.Fortheearthm 5.96x1024kgandtheequatorialradiusis:r 6.37x106m.Therefore,atthesurfaceoftheearththegravitationalmagnitudeis:β 6.95x10‐10.Toobtainthegradientinthismagnitudewedividebytheearth’sequatorial radius6.37x106m toobtainagradientofdβ/dr 1.091x10‐16/m.

Success!TheanswerobtainedfromthecalculationusingF ΔβFmisexactlycorrect.Apparentlytheignoreddimensionlessconstantscancel.Thisisanothersuccessfulplausibilitytest.At the beginning of this chapter two quotes were presented that pointed out that generalrelativitydoesnotidentifythesourceoftheforcethatoccurswhenaparticleisrestrainedfromfollowingthegeodesic.M.R.Edwardsstates:“Howeversuccessfulthisgeometricinterpretationmaybeasamathematicalmodel,itlacksphysicsandacausalmechanism.”Theideasproposedin thisbookgivea conceptuallyunderstandable explanation forboth themagnitudeand thevectordirectionofthegravitationalforce.Thegravitationalforcewasobtainedfromthestartingassumptionswithoutusinganalogyofacceleration.Electrostatic Force at Arbitrary Distance:ThestrainamplitudeofthespacetimewaveinsidetherotarvolumehasbeendesignatedwiththesymbolAβ Lp/λc Tpωc.WehavejustshownthatthegravitationaleffectexternaltotherotarvolumescaleswithAg Aβ2/ gm/c2r.Thisis the gravitational curvature of spacetime produced by a rotar with radius λc and angularfrequencyωc.NowwewillexaminetheelectromagneticeffectonspacetimeproducedbytheeffectofthefundamentalwavewithamplitudeAβ notsquared .Fromchapter6weknowthatthisamplitude isassociatedwiththeelectrostatic force.Nowwewillextendthistoarbitrarydistance.Asbefore,weneedtomatchtheknownamplitudeatdistanceλc.Thisisachievedbyscalingdistanceusing ≡r/λcbecause 1atdistanceλc.Wewillagainassumethattheelectrostatic amplitude AE decreases as 1/ for the electrostatic force we assumeAE Aβ/ Lp/λc λc/r .WewillusetheequationF = kA2ω2Z /c and also insert the following: F = FE, ω = ωc, Z = Zs = c3/G, r/λc, = kλc

2 and ħc = 4⁄

= /c = ħ

Therefore,wehavegenerated theCoulomb lawequationwhere thecharge isq qp Planckcharge . It should not be surprising that the charge obtained is Planck charge rather thanelementarychargee.Planckchargeisqp 4 ħ about11.7timeschargee andisbasedon the permittivity of free space εo. Planck charge is known to have a coupling constant tophotonsof1whileelementarychargeehasacouplingconstanttophotonsofα,thefinestructureconstant. This calculation is actually themaximumpossible electrostatic forcewhichwouldrequirea coupling constantof1. The symbolFE implies theelectrostatic forcebetween twoPlanckchargeswhileFeimpliestheelectrostaticforcebetweentwoelementarychargese.TheconversionisFE Feα‐1.Wewillcontinuetousetheequation:F = kA2ωc

2Zs /c even though it implies the emission of power which is striking area andexertingarepulsiveforce.ThisisnothappeningbuttheuseofF = kA2ωc

2Zs /c gives the correct magnitude of forces. This simplified equation allows a lot of quick calculations to be made which give correct magnitude.


Calculation with Two Different Mass Particles:Untilnowwehaveassumedtwoofthesamemass/energyparticleswhenwecalculatedFgandFE.Nowwewillassumetwodifferentmassparticles m1andm2 ,butwewillkeeptheassumptionthatbothparticleshavePlanckcharge.Whenwe have two differentmass particles, thismeans thatwe have two different reducedComptonwavelengths λc1 ħ/ c andλc1 ħ/ .The single radial separation r nowbecomestwodifferentvalues 1 r/λc1and 2 r/λc2. Also, therewouldbe twodifferentstrainamplitudesAβ1 Lp/λc1andAβ2 Lp/λc2aswellasacompositearea kλc1λc2.

Note that the only difference between the intermediate portions of these two equations is that the gravitational force Fg has the strain amplitude terms squared ( and the electrostatic force FE has the strain amplitude terms not squared ( . The tremendous difference between the gravitational force and the electrostatic force is due to a simple difference in exponents.Unification of Forces: Inchapter6wefoundthatthereisa logicalconnectionbetweenthegravitationalforceandtheelectromagneticforce.However,thosecalculationsweredoneonlyfor separationdistance equal to λc.

Iwill now skip ahead several yearswhen Iwasmethodically inventing a model of the universe using only the properties of 4 dimensionspacetime. I had the idea of dipole waves in spacetime and quantized angular momentumforming a “rotar” that was one Compton wavelength in circumference and rotating at the

There is no disagreement with the equations of general relativity. Theprevious pages have shown that it is possible to derive the gravitational force using waveproperties and the impedance of spacetime. This is completely different than acceleration.Numerous equations in this book have shown that there is a close connection between thegravitationalforceandtheelectrostaticforce.Inparticular,Iwillreferencethetwoequations


whichdealtwithtwodifferentmassparticles m1andm2 . Theconcludingstatement inthisanalysiswas:“Note that the only difference between the intermediate portions of these two equations is that the gravitational force Fg has the strain amplitude terms squared ( and the electrostatic force FE has the strain amplitude terms not squared ( . The tremendous difference between the gravitational force and the electrostatic force is due to a difference in exponents.”

Surely this qualifies as proof that gravity is closely related to the electrostatic force andthereforegravityisalsoarealforce.Theimplicationisthatwhenwegetdowntoanalyzingwavesinspacetimethereisadifferencebetweengravityandacceleration.Anargumentnotinvolvingdipolewavesinspacetimegoesasfollows:Aparticleinfreefallinagravitational field has not eliminated the effect of gravity.

This thought process wassomethingliketryingtoreverseengineergravity.Iwasattemptingtoworkbackwardsfromthedesiredresult attraction tofindthechangestothemodelthatwouldgivethedesiredresult.Ispent a long time working backwards from result to cause, but it was getting nowhere.Therefore,infrustrationIreturnedtotheapproachthatIhadpreviouslyusedtodevelopthemodeltothatpoint.Thatapproachmerelymovedforwardfromthestartingassumption theuniverseisonlyspacetime andacceptedthelogicalextensionsofthisassumption.OnceIgotbackonthistrack,Irealizedthattheenergydensityoftherotarmodelimpliedpressure.WhenItookthelogicalstepstocontainthispressure,Ieventuallyobtainednotonlythegravitationalforcewith the correct vector but also obtained improved insights into the strong force, theelectromagneticforceandthestabilityoffundamentalparticles.While otherpeople are attempting to adjustmodels to explain specific physical effects, I amfinding that logically extending the starting assumption gives unexpected explanations.
