Theory of Gravity

     

A Short Theory on Gravity

Randall S. Clemons | 7-31-2019

     I am not sure if someone else has already had this idea, or if some of the things I am going to talk about actually work the way they work. That being said, no one knows how gravity works. So, my thoughts are just as valid as any others and they make sense. Instead of trying to get really technical, I am going to keep this idea as simple and as short as I possibly can. This article is meant to simply convey a simple idea on a complex subject. It may be wrong, it may be right, and it may also inspire the key for someone else to crack the code of gravity.

    Since I was a child, I was always interested in how things work. Later in life I started reading books on theoretical physics. While I am not an established authority on the subject and do not nearly know everything about it, I focused on some things more than others. Time dilation, how space and time are connected, the warping of space, gravity, and also how gravity affects time. These are a few of the main things I ponder about when I am trying to relax. My own personal reward and development were my motivations and reasons for wanting to understand these things. I just wanted to know. I have often tried the thought experiments that Einstein talked about, even before I ever heard of them. Once, when I was in elementary school, before the connection between birds and dinosaurs were made, I wrote a paper. I think maybe I was in second grade. After the Christmas break, we were instructed to write about what we did over the break. I wrote about how all day long I would sit in the window, watching the birds hop around in the snow. I explained how they reminded me of a Tyrannosaur and how imagined that they were.  I still have that paper. Some years later, these connections were realized. There have been other times in my life when I had epiphanies come to me out of nowhere that turned out to be right. There are also times that I was wrong, but then everyone is from time to time. That is no reason to give up.

    This is one of those times when I was trying to fall asleep, when I had an epiphany (or at least think I did). Thinking about similar times in my life, I decided to write it into a paper. My interest is in theory, not applied physics and I do not work in a lab studying these things. I am just an average guy who thinks about it, a lot. So please, take it easy one me and seriously consider some of what I am about to write.


     I was thinking about the solar system and how gravity from the sun is pulling all of the matter in the solar system toward it, but the centrifugal force of the planets circling the sun pull them back outward. The two forces cancel each other out, keeping us stable, for the most part. We are circling the drain, but these two forces, “opposite forces” keep us where we are. In a sense, a “positive” and a “negative”. They are not really positive and negative, but right now, think of them that way to get a sense of what I am trying to illustrate.

    Then, I was thinking about when an object is pushed in one direction in space, how it will always travel in that direction with no resistant force to stop it, or as long as any other force does not interfere with it. For example, gravity.

    I was imagining how every object moving through space, warps space around it no matter the size of the object. The greater the size or mass, the greater the warp. For example, when the earth circles the sun, there will be a single point, like the point of a cone, in front of the earth where space is being warped, ripped apart so to speak. In a sense, decompressed and warped around the earth. Oppositely, there will be a single point behind the earth, where the fabric of space and time are being re compressed back to normal. Creating a sort of wave that keeps the mass propelling infinitely in one direction, unless interfered with by some other force. this warp would look kind of like the shape of a football. Imagine pushing a golf ball through a water hose or a snake swallowing a rat. The point where space is re compressed creates a greater force than the point where space is pulled apart. Like how airplanes fly. It creates low pressure above the wing and high pressure under the wing, causing the plane to lift.  I know I do not use exactly the right terminology, just concentrate on the idea. Low pressure in front, high pressure behind, propelling you forward.


      An object at rest in space (which there is no such thing), or at least at rest relative to you and the things around it would have a perfect sphere of space warped around it. I try to imagine things in a three-dimensional way. It would be moving in space with the force of whatever matter it is moving relative to, and inside of the space warp that matter creates, like a star system or a galaxy. The space the object at rest is occupying would not have two points in the warp it is creating, but a perfect sphere.

   Whether an object is spinning or not( and/or how fast it is spinning) determines the shape the matter or object takes (or clump of many different atoms and pieces of matter creating what appears to be one object). Because what you think is one object is not. That is an illusion. All mass is made up of unlimited numbers of other pieces of matter and unlimited numbers of atoms. The slower it spins or doesn't spin, the more spherical the object or mass will be. The faster is spins, the more centrifugal force takes over, and the flatter the object or mass will be. This is why a galaxy is flat for the most part.


    I was thinking about all of this (whether I am right or wrong) when I had a few ideas that may relate to gravity. Every piece of mass is made up of unlimited numbers of atoms. Also, what are some of the known forces in the universe? Centrifugal force, space warping, magnets, static charge, the positive and negative of how electricity flows, and gravity. We know how most of the forces in nature work, how magnets have a positive and a negative, how a dc current flows through a positive and negative, lightning strike due to a positive and negative, but we do not know how gravity works.


   I had an idea, first we have to realize how pieces of matter stay together.  Atoms are attracted to each other.  You have to realize that matter is not one object, but god knows how many smaller atomic objects attracted to each other. The greater the mass, the greater the power of attraction the combined atoms can create. A force of gravity?

   Every object or piece of mass has its own gravity. We will call it a positive charge. When you are being pulled toward the earth, you are also pulling the earth toward you. Still, the earth has a greater force, and the greater force rules.

   Well, positive and positive cannot attract? So, what is the negative charge, so to speak? What is the opposite of matter? Antimatter, which is in empty space. So, think of matter as the positive and empty space with antimatter as the negative.

    When you pour water out in empty space, it clumps together into sphere, because all of the molecules and atoms in the water create their own gravity, holding it together. Still, this clump of water will be attracted to another piece of matter, like the wall of a space station, and the greater mass will always win out. If you pour out a pack of sugar in space, the sugar will clump together. This happens because the atoms (which are made protons and neutrons that are encompassed with electrons) in each crystal has its own gravity. When it clumps, each small charge of gravity from each piece combines to create a greater positive charge of gravity. The highest charge of gravity, will be in the center of mass, creating pressure. For example, the greatest charge of gravity on earth would be at the core, where pressure created by gravity is most dense. The denser the mass, the more the atoms it contains, the greater the gravity.

     Look at clouds in the skies clumping together instead of dissipating. Now imagine how similar a cloud looks to a galaxy. I often compare the universe to a puff of smoke. Now, imagine rubbing a balloon on a cathode ray TV screen or your hair and sticking it to the ceiling. The excited electrons in the atoms collected by the balloon create a static electrical charge, causing the balloon to stick to the ceiling. Do atoms need a static, or electrical charge to attract other atoms to form pieces of matter?  Or, do the electrons in each atom already possess some power of electrical attraction or something similar? What you could call a weak or strong power is up to how you look at it, because it depends on what it is relative to.  We look at gravity as weak but it is also strong when you try to escape from it. In space, where things move so easily with no resistance and no other forces to interfere, could this weak power of attraction by atoms create a force that we could call gravity? When the power of each atom is combined with the power of other atoms in a mass. The attraction the mass creates becomes greater. Like storing a charge in a battery.

     Trying understand gravity, I try to compare gravity to a positive and negative charge. All mater creates its own positive charge all around. The field does not flow from negative to positive like a magnetic field or the way electricity flows, but I believe they do have similarities. While all matter creates a positive charge of gravity and pull each other toward it, the greater mass will always move the smaller mass. The direction the smaller mass flows to the greater mass could be considered the flow of positive to negative, because the empty space around it is the negative. The warping of space and the wave it creates pushes it along while the positive charge of gravity is attracting it. Imagine you had a million balloons, all with a static charge. If you dropped all of those balloons from a plane, the static charge would attract all of the balloons into one mass. That is the best comparison I can think of at this time to illustrate the idea I mean to convey. The atomic and quantum level effect the universal level. They are all entangled in a sense.

       If atoms make up matter and create what we call gravity, then would antimatter create antigravity?  

     

     I am not sure if all or any of this is correct, it us just how I have thought about it in my imagination. Though in my imagination I can do a much better job of explaining it. It is hard to put an image into an essay when an image is worth so many words. Also, when you do not know the exact, correct terminology. That being said, I did the best I could to explain it and make comparisons to things that maybe anyone can relate to. A theory of gravity by an everyman. Right or wrong, there it is. My theory on gravity.
