New Theories / Re: Speculating: Is everything an universe of itself?
« on: 26/09/2020 11:59:35 »
Our universe started with small things such as sub particles. These tiniest of things combined to form larger things, which became too large to be expressed at the smallest level. Each level has has its own properties.

This particle scaling continued into chemistry which is more or less the platform for the rest of the scaling. There we have planets, mountains, oceans and then life. Life itself scaled from single then to multicellular. All these levels of scaling occur by means of the attractive forces and an increase of entropy.

The most advanced or highest levels of scaling contain all the previous levels down to the sub particles. However, the loss of free energy; enthalpy and entropy, at each level of scaling, makes the lower levels more stable and tame. This focuses the scaling at the higher levels, so they can further evolve in a way that is appropriate to its own level of scale. 

In a sense, each level of scale is its own universe, due to its properties being more or less self contained at that scale. The highest level of scale, encompass all the rest, down to the smallest, with the smallest less dominate to the overall affect. It is like nesting dolls.

What is a "point of energy"? That sounds like something Thebox would say.

The answer is no. Energy doesn't have to be moving to generate gravity.

 "WHAT would be the mathematical/geometrical "possibilities" if universal expansion was to reach the impossible edge of the universe, would it be forced to bend itself by splitting and multiplying volume, rules, wherever, so to "turn around"and reach infinity again?
Einstein has taken us to a different world.  It is true, it is a big topic, expansion or contraction of universe.  In my view, first we must be in a position to say, what exactly is gravity on Earth.  Further, we must have a perfect idea on functioning of our solar system.  But, here, un-certainity prevails and for all practical purposes we are taking Newtons inverse square law, which, we know, is incorrect.

any chances that what we "see" as light speed, or speed of light to be no "speed" at all?
 What if by geometry, photon could be, avoiding time influence, and the traveling thing is the particle photon taking a ride on a geometrical wave of probability?

 Could be that space is at C while light is just taking a ride along with it?

 Or there's anything that undoubtedly, states: Light speed is a speed because...?
It is true that we are taking speed of light as constant.  We also know that Gravity slows down movement of light and bends light.  So, speed of light is different from gravity to non-gravity field.  But it is surprise to me:
01  It is true that there is gravity inside the closed elevator.
02  If the light beam is released from a hole on one side of the elevator certainly it moves out through the other hole.
03  If the elevator accelerates forward, it is the frame that is being lifted, in other words, in turn it lifts the gravity field inside the elevator.
04  Gravity at the bottom becomes dense or stronger. 
05  While coming down, gravity drags light beam.  Light beam also accelerates downward. 
06  When the light source is constant, what makes the light beam to change its position.
07  If the light is independent, nothing can stop it moving straight.
08  If there is a change or bend, while moving in a gravity field, certainly we can say that gravity bends light.
09  But light is changing its path according to gravity.

New Theories / Re: The Weak Force does not Exist

Quote from: talanum1 on 04/08/2020 10:42:36
If one looks at what a W-minus is made of versus what a d-quark is made of, it is inconceivable that a d-quark can emit a W-minus.

To the best of our knowledge, the W bosons and quarks aren't made of anything: they are fundamental particles.

Particles do not have to contain other particles in order to produce them. One set of particles is capable of transforming into another set of particles so long as conservation laws are satisfied. A good example of this is the fact that a positron and an electron can annihilate to produce a pair of photons. That, however, doesn't mean that an electron contains a photon and a positron contains a photon because sometimes the annihilation results in three photons instead of only two.

What I mean if there is an inside and or outside something, and that truth is unrelated with gravity.
 Gravity could be derivative from geometrical shapes, as if matter tied together "offers" a "minimal" margin, volume for "medium", only that on this case, medium would be the effect caused due density...

It is true that equivalence principle is the base for "what exactly is gravity".  But without having sufficient or correct idea on 'what exactly is gravity', it is like constructing a beautiful house without base. 

Mr Alex, tell me, can this geometry gives us a perfect idea on gravity.  Ok,  famous notation, "matter tells space time how to curve and curved space time tells matter how move".    How matter tells space time to curve.  What is being curved.  How this curved space time influences matter in turn. 

It is true that it is a change from Newton's inverse square law.  We are discussing, black holes in depth.  Further it is a big topic, measuring event horizon, can light escapes, and what happens if you dives into a black hole.  We also discuss about expansion or contraction of universe in a big way.

But, in exact terms, we don't know, "what exactly is giving you weight" on this Earth.

When it is nor clear, we follow, Newton's inverse square law.

you're suggesting that the medium reads dense matter(earth) as a "hole" on it's fabric, and thus constantly trying to fill it... Electromagnetic forces/atomic forces, fight back, or more likely, use this medium attempt to their own benefit, not being able to collapse, they start to spin, not from themselves as their properties are, but their motion a physical representation of this medium?
 Something like that?

Ok, we will discuss about medium at a later date.  Basically it is equivalence principle, which is base for general relativity and Gravity to be decided first.

"An elevator that accelerates upwards at 9.8 m/s2 will see everything within it be accelerated downward towards the floor at that same rate: 9.8 m/s2. When you're in a vehicle that rapidly accelerates (and you feel yourself pushed back into your seat) or decelerates (that thrusts you forward), you're experiencing similar effects to what someone inside the accelerating elevator will feel".

It is true that it is the elevator accelerating forward.  But what is accelerating downwards.  Simply saying that it is due to  Newton's second law, F=ma is incorrect.  When the elevator accelerates forward, something is accelerating downwards, pushing you in opposite direction. 

01  It is true that there is Gravity inside the elevator and Mr.'X's weight is 75 kgs.
02  There is every need to understand that we are moving frame only.  For better understanding, take the example that you are in a car.  You are moving the frame of the car and in turn frame drags the contents there in including yourselves.
03  When the car is at rest or stationary, gravity or medium causing gravity is spread uniformly.
04  As the car accelerates forward, the medium, giving you weight continues to be at rest only.
05  As the car moves forward, things within the car faces additional medium, and thus boosting of gravity at the edges.
06  Additional gravity at the edges, pushes you backward.
07  One's the car attains  velocity, things comes to normal.

 Since we are all emotive beings despise the effort, if we accept that we don't know to state we are right about the "not knowing", even that could, and most certainly is wrong... Still, easy to mind picture that scenario that he described.

Mr Alex,
As rightly accepted by Newton, there is a medium, giving or causing weight on Earth, known as Gravity.  It is true that Einstein carried out number of experiments to find out "What exactly this medium is".  But, in my opinion, whenever I go by his theory or thought experiments, i feel that it is incomplete and an unfinished agenda. 

I am just trying to find out the truth, exploring the different possibilities.  I am moving with confidence, but i am not sure, whether i could present it in better way or convince others  "what exactly is gravity".

Thank you

New Theories / What exactly is gravity?
« on: 23/06/2019 17:49:31 »
HOW GRAVITY WORKS:
Closed volumes with mass:  All closed volumes such as elementary particles Proton(s), neutron(s) and electron(s) pushes their surroundings and produces convex curvature of spacetime.   Their internal spacetime "pushes" the surrounding spacetime to make room. The density of spacetime around the closed volume increases, and the latter has difficulty to move. As a result, a "mass effect" appears, i.e. an effect having all the characteristics of mass. Since spacetime has properties of elasticity, as per Einstein it exerts a pressure on the surface of closed volumes. The mass component [M] can be extracted from the pressure [M/LT2] by simple mathematical operations. This leads to a 4D expression of the mass: m = f(x,y,z,t)

Open Volumes, massless: It is just a vacuum, but sometimes found in various forms such as the volume of orbitals or the space between atoms. These volumes exist but they are "porous" regarding spacetime. More exactly, they are subject to variations of spacetime but they do not curve spacetime themselves. Therefore, open volumes are massless since no curvature means no mass

If we replace the closed volume by two or more closed volumes, the pressure exerted by spacetime on these volumes tends to bring them closer to each other. The result is equivalent to an attraction. For example, a pressure on one side of a sheet of paper is equivalent to an attraction on the other side. In both cases, the sheet is curved.
Gravitation is not an attractive force between masses, but a pressure force exerted by spacetime on closed volumes that tends to bring them closer to each other.


How Gravity works:
It is true that all elementary particles pushes their surroundings and produces convex curvature.  If we replace two or more closed volumes, pressure against them increases and the same was experimentally proved.

First of all, we have to remember that this experiment was done in a Gravity field only.  Gravity is already influencing each and every particle and Gravity is of “matter blind”.  We are testing Gravity effect on closed volume in a Gravity field.

Suppose if a closed volume has to “curve the spacetime” means its internal energy must come out.  So each and every closed volume must be exited with energy to do so.  Isn’t it appears something extra-ordinary and unbelievable.   
 Here, we are looking at one side of the coin only.  There is potential energy stored on this Earth.  It is creating pressure/force on all closed volumes.  Excess energy, emitted by the closed volume comes out and pushes the outside energy, which appears as curvature.   “THIS IS THE CURVATURE”.

However it is true that energy is of object oriented.  Since all masses are its objects it start collecting/pooling against it and creates pressure which is known as “mass effect”.  It mainly depends on the availability of energy in the open area.

“Gravity is not an attractive force between masses but pressure force exerted by spacetime”. 

Unless there is pooling/concentration of energy against mass gravity is impossible.  Water particles are raising due to radiation and these particles moves so high that it curves the space.  When these particles joins with other particles, due to gravity or geodesics, becomes heavier and creates pressure on the energy and “mass effect” comes out.

Gravity as Curved Spacetime
Einstein eventually identified the property of spacetime which is responsible for gravity as its curvature. Space and time in Einstein's universe are no longer flat (as implicitly assumed by Newton) but can pushed and pulled, stretched and warped by matter. Gravity feels strongest where spacetime is most curved, and it vanishes where spacetime is flat. This is the core of Einstein's theory of general relativity, which is often summed up in words as follows: "matter tells spacetime how to curve, and curved spacetime tells matter how to move". A standard way to illustrate this idea is to place a bowling ball (representing a massive object such as the sun) onto a stretched rubber sheet (representing spacetime). If a marble is placed onto the rubber sheet, it will roll toward the bowling ball, and may even be put into "orbit" around the bowling ball. This occurs, not because the smaller mass is "attracted" by a force emanating from the larger one, but because it is traveling along a surface which has been deformed by the presence of the larger mass. In the same way gravitation in Einstein's theory arises not as a force propagating through spacetime, but rather as a feature of spacetime itself. According to Einstein, your weight on earth is due to the fact that your body is traveling through warped spacetime!

As we have seen, matter does not simply pull on other matter across empty space, as Newton had imagined. Rather matter distorts space-time and it is this distorted space-time that in turn affects other matter. Objects (including planets, like the Earth, for instance) fly freely under their own inertia through warped space-time, following curved paths because this is the shortest possible path (or geodesic) in warped space-time.
This, in a nutshell, then, is the General Theory of Relativity, and its central premise is that the curvature of space-time is directly determined by the distribution of matter and energy contained within it. What complicates things, however, is that the distribution of matter and energy is in turn governed by the curvature of space, leading to a feedback loop and a lot of very complex mathematics. Thus, the presence of mass/energy determines the geometry of space, and the geometry of space determines the motion of mass/energy.

About General theory of relativity:
: "matter tells spacetime how to curve, and curved spacetime tells matter how to move". This is the central premise of Einstein’s general theory of relativity.  Actually curvature of spacetime by the closed volume is the base for this.  When a small particle curves the space what about huge masses such as Earth.   “According to Einstein, your weight on earth is due to the fact that your body is traveling through warped spacetime” .

Earth is not rotating against gravity but gravity itself hooked Earth.  Here Earth is moving means it is not Earth alone, things existing on the Earth, gravity field everything in one unit.  Spacetime is warped not due to spinning of Earth.  There is strong potential energy on this Earth and it is due to mass effect, warping things on the Earth. Here comparison to cylindrical carnival ride to Earth is not so correct.  Cylindrical carnival is moving in a gravity field.  As the carnival moves, at the edges gravity weakens and climate warps the edges.

As per Newton,  "it follows that a moving body has no determinate velocity and no definite line in which it moves". 
In fact curvature is only against the mass and there are no curved paths. Imagine empty space - in our case, a two-dimensional plane - with no forces acting between the bodies floating around. If there are no forces, then classical mechanics and Einstein's mechanics of special relativity are in agreement: Under these circumstances, bodies move along the straightest possible lines.

In flat, empty space-time, small test panrticles follow straight lines.

Ok, let us imagine that there is 2d space or empty space. Suppose small test particles A and B have started their journey in empty space.  As there is no Gravity or curved space nothing can stop them.  Let us analyse in detail.  Suppose if we detonate an atom bomb, energy is freed.  Nothing can stop movement of energy.  There is no scope for chain reaction. Each atom detonated, electrons, protons, neutrons comes out freely and makes their way.  Here there is no scope for E=MC2.

Here, in 2d space or empty space, light is impossible.  If switch an torch light, it never gives you any light. Potential energy stored within cell comes out, but, since it is empty, light particles moves out freely.

2d Space or empty space exists in between two solar systems only.

Suppose if we enter our solar system, 4d space time, energy and dust particles are present everywhere.  Here matter curves space time.  Here energy is in free  state and effects of gravity are absent. Ok, if we detonate an atom bomb, since there is curvature of space, it explodes, however in a slow motion and that too, as there is no pressure or force, chain reaction slows down, area coverage is limited and of course, sudden eddies into the space time is limited and it covers short radius only.  Here particle A and B cannot move freely as other particles obstruct them.

If we switch on a torch cell, it gives light but within short radius.  Light behaves differently as there is no gravity.  Light is not bent by gravity and therefore we have to arrange them near to us.

Einstein’s 4d spacetime:
This is present near to the huge masses such as Earth. A given configuration of matter distorts space-time geometry (not only because of mass, but also with its energy, inner tensions or pressure) and this distorted geometry makes matter move in certain ways. This movement, in turn, changes the matter configuration, and space-time geometry changes correspondingly. Now that space-time geometry is a bit different, it also acts on matter in a different way, matter moves, geometry changes, and so on in an endless dance.

Raise of particles:
This is the key point in creating Gravity in a 4d space time.  Our predecessors are having a wrong notion that spin of Earth is paving way for this.  We have to keep in mind that Earth is not rotating against gravity, but gravity itself hooked Earth. 

Each and every closed volume is undergoing the influence of Gravity, so naturally it comes down to Earth only.  But how particle A and B are raising.  If we observe nature carefully, it is water particles.  Due to radiation water particles are raising and are moving against Gravity.  It is paving way for storage of potential energy on this Earth. If the energy start pooling or concentrating at a particular place, water evaporates and start moving into the space.  If the pressure or force increases water particles and other dust particles moves to new height and it appears that space time is curved.  Meanwhile it is paving way for further accumulation of potential energy. Particles raising from Earth at different places joins with each other and becomes heavier and accelerates downwards.  In this way it warps space time of Earth, which is known as Gravity.

E = mc2 Enigma
 E = mc2 is a part of Special Relativity. However, despite the fact that the calculus is quite simple, Modern Physics does not propose a rational explanation of this strange phenomenon.
The Spacetime Model demonstrates that the principle of converting mass to energy is very simple. This principle is shown by the following example.
•   Part A
An empty sphere is immerged in a container filled with water. The surface of water is quiet.
•   Part B
If the sphere disappears suddenly by a thought experiment, the depression will make eddies which have energy (E = hν). Converting a mass to energy follows the same principle. A closed volume disappears, and is transformed into an open volume. This produces "eddies" in spacetime, which are gamma rays. These gamma rays may be converted into particles such as electrons-positrons pairs, and so on.


About E = mc2
There is Gravity and it is influencing each and every closed volume. Raising of particles have helped in creating potential energy stored on Earth.  Due to pressure/force exerted by this potential energy, each and every closed volume is curving the space time.

 If we say that closed volumes are curving space time by its internal energy, it is rather irrelevant.  If we detonate an atom, energy already present in the space time, potential energy, which created  “inward thrust” and it tries to occupy the gap.  Now energy freed from the atom, creates “outward thrust”.  This action increases radiation within short distance and paves way for chain reaction. Total process is completed within short time.  Initially an “inward thrust” is created and later “outward thrust”   creates eddies in the space time.

Total energy released by an atom bomb mainly depends on:
01  Internal energy
02  Gravity in a particular  place.
Suppose if we detonate the same atom bomb on Moon:
01  Internal energy is same.
02  Gravity is just 1/6th only

Since gravity is weak, curvature of space time by the closed volume is also weak. “eddies” into space time slows down and it spreads up to limited area only.

Suppose if the same atomic bomb is detonated in space, outside Earth’s climate: Here there is sufficient energy but it is not present with any force i.e., free state and thus even though there is inward as well outward thrust explosion is limited. 

How Solar system is working:
Big bang is the base for any solar system.  When two huge masses faced each other devastating fire started.  It resulted in release of huge energy into open area.    It is not only Sun but other planets also burnt for lot of period and pumped huge energy.  At present Sun is only maintaining this energy base.  It is true that energy is of ‘object oriented’. 

This energy base is present in the form of rings, like onion rings.  We can compare this to rainbow.  Since our Solar system is moving to unknown place, energy is moving along these rings. 

Ok, suppose an asteroid from 2d space or empty entered our solar system.   Energy curves the space time around the asteroid.  It all depends on the acceleration or speed with which the asteroid is travelling.  Suppose if the mass of the asteroid consists of light atoms than it yields to the energy and start moving along with other planets.

In case, if the asteroid crosses 1st one and enters next one, the 2nd one possess more energy than the 1st one.  So naturally curvature around the asteroid increases and creates more pressure.  If it yields than naturally it remains within that circle.

Moon is also one such asteroid only.  When it entered after crossing mostly 6 lanes, curvature increased and it simply yielded.  Moon is having its own Gravity field, so it started spinning against its axis.  Any asteroid that enters, initially yields to energy pressure and lose weight and will be thrown to inertial position. 

When Moon entered gravity field of Earth, both tug on each other, in fact both are in inertial position.  Energy within the lane is moving, it created pressure/force on the curvature and both started rotating against each other and also moved along the lane.  In case for any reason if the moon crosses this lane, it becomes independent planet, unless other planet influences it. 

In this universe each solar system is independent unit.

Rotation and revolution of planet:
Suppose we have sent a rocket into space.  There is potential energy stored in the space.  It start concentrating against rocket and curves the spacetime around the rocket and  throws it into inertial position.  Now rocket is in free state.   There is curvature of spacetime but there is no Gravity.  This curvature now start interacting with Gravity from Earth and Sun.  Strong energy waves coming from Sun pushes it and it start rotating against Earth Gravity waves.
In the case of planets it is different and there is Gravity.  Gravity waves will be moving out to far reaching places.  Energy rays coming from Sun interacts with these Gravity waves of planet, bents and enters planets atmosphere.  Meanwhile a movementum is gained and it starts rotating against its axis.

New Theories / Re: Black hole equations.
« on: 14/03/2018 15:22:10 »
Here is my post from before:

You can verify the calculation for yourself. The event horizon is simply the location where the black hole's escape velocity equals the speed of light. The equation used to calculate the escape velocity of an object is:

ve = √((2GM)/r)

Where ve is the escape velocity in meters per second, G is the gravitational constant (6.67 x 10-11 m3•kg-1•s-2), M is the mass in kilograms and r is the radius from the center of the object in meters.

Plugging in the numbers for the Earth, we get:

ve = √((2 x (6.67 x 10-11 m3•kg-1•s-2) x (5.972 x 1024 kg))/(6,371,000 meters))

ve = 11,182 meters per second (11.182 kilometers per second)

Given how many times we've sent spacecraft into orbit, we've have plenty of occasion to thoroughly test the validity of this equation.

Now let's rearrange the equation so that what we are looking to find is not the escape velocity, but the radius at which the escape velocity takes on a particular value:

r = √((2GM)/(ve2))

Put in the relevant data for the Earth and you can verify that this rearranged equation accurately predicts the radius of the Earth based on its mass and escape velocity.

Now we can enter the speed of light as the escape velocity (299,792,458 meters per second) in order to find the distance from the center of a black hole at which the event horizon must exist for a given mass. We’ll enter the measured mass of the Cygnus X-1 black hole of 14.8 solar masses:

r = (2 x (6.67 x 10-11 m3•kg-1•s-2) x (2.943 x 1031 kg))/(299,792,458 meters per second)2

r = 43,682 meters (43.682 kilometers)

So there you have it, a step-by-step explanation on how to calculate the radius of a black hole’s event horizon based on an experimentally-verified equation.

Calculations aside, it should be pretty obvious that the orbiting star is outside of the black hole's event horizon because we can see it.

 Actually I'm stuck trying to mix some TheBox concepts with GoC ideas.
I wouldn't bother.

 Does any of that make sense?
Not much.

OK, back onto the Tsar Bomb. Earth is already not a perfect sphere, the kinetic energy released by the disruption of the tectonic plates would not take the planet out of it's original?
 I mean the earth orbit the sun where it is because it's center, if you disrupt the outside layers and flow of magma, wouldn't the center be re-centered somewhere else for some time?

Not really alter the orbit because as one load of mass is forced one way an equal and opposit3 mappent the other way, but if you re arrange the mass you alter the gravitational centre. It will alter the length of the day though i think by countering the rotation of the earth some how

No
Since there is still nothing to push against  (no matter how many times you ask the question) the path of the Earth round the Sun will carry on.

Even if we assembled a massive bomb and blew the planet to bits, the centre of gravity of all the bits would continue to orbit the sun once every 365 days or so at a distance of about 93 million miles.
