New Theories / Re: dinosuars
« on: 20/11/2006 20:02:52 »
I think Dinosaurs were killed off because the gravity of the Earth increased and their mass could not cope with the increase.

Maybe from meteorite bombardments and not just one sudden meteorite hit as they didn't die off quickly.

Everything in the dinosaur age was much larger than now, giant plants and ferns and also giant dinosaurs, to me that suggests less gravity.
With an increase in gravity the large body mass of the dinosaurs would be under great stress as height would depend on body mass and gravity.
Less gravity would have made it easier for a large mass to move and for some of the large gliding dinosaurs, easier to fly/glide.

Increase the gravity on an Elephant and you would find it would not be able to move much or last long.

New Theories / Re: a new look at gravity

Thanks for the replies so far and thanks Mr Andrew, that's a new one on me [8D]

In my scenario gravity would be a very long wave, possibly the length of the speed of light (or rather the speed of gravity).
Einstein did some equations on the UFT and IIRC came up withe the conclusion that the waves were very large. I'm sure he dismissed the idea and said it was impossible for them to be that large. I think it was something also to do with the energy levels.

Each wave would also be a superstring that is constantly in motion and the waves come from all directions. These waves would impart kinetic energy on all matter pushing it together and eventually making matter round. The type and density of matter depends on how this force reacts with it.
Atoms would be held together by this force and not by binding energy.

With this idea there is no missing matter or energy (dark energy or dark matter) it's all there.
Photons, radio waves, magnetic waves and other waves are propagated by and travel at the speed of these gravity waves.

Now, where do they come from?

Earlier this year I came up with a new theory of the creation of the universe, (which should lead to a unified field theory).
Shortly after discussing it with a friend a team of scientists in the USA also published similar ideas.
A few differences though as they could not explain gravity.

I goes something like this:

We sit in a bound expanding universe that sits in an infinite universe. When our "local" universe cooled and condensed from hot plasma it created gravity and matter and was the start of our time.
Gravity is a weak force everywhere (the old fashioned ether) and causes all matter eventually to unite.
It's the empty space that these gravity waves are in and they do not emanate from matter. However some waves are trapped inside atoms, maybe antigravity waves ? from the time of it's creation.

Some of the kinetic force of these gravity waves change state as it interacts with matter. This should mean that our universal gravity will eventually become weaker over time as mass takes a bit of the force. As mass gets denser, universal gravity gets weaker as gravity gets weaker any mass will break down and fly apart, releasing energy and the universe will become a hot plasma gas again.

I think that is why the universe is expanding.

Think of our planet and that gravity waves are "pushing" it together making it round. Those waves partly change state and become weaker as they go further into the planets mass. The core is under tremendous pressure and the reaction is because there is less gravity there, causing it to emanate some gravity as magnetic waves and heat.

Sorry for the ramble, I am not a scientist, terrible at maths but have put a lot of thought into this so I hope you can understand some of it.

So, what makes gravity an attractive force besides observation?  [;D]

Thinking is fun, even when wrong it teaches!

PS. Does E = M + G C2 mean anything

E = Energy
M = Mass we know exists
G = Gravity = the calculated missing mass
C2 = The speed of gravity (speed of light)

Sorry, a bit late, but had problems with me drive! [:(!]

Had a power cut while resizing a partition, sorted now. [:)]

OK, what I am trying to find out is why it is assumed that gravity is an attractive force, caused by mass.
Taking away pure observation, what is there to prove that it is?

New Theories / a new look at gravity
« on: 15/11/2006 01:44:58 »
Hi I'm new here and this is my first post so hello!

I've been reading and lurking a lot because it find it interesting and informative here and after reading this had to sign up.

I have some strange ideas about the nature of gravity and that we are viewing it from the wrong angle, and i do mean the wrong angle!
The problem is i need to ask a few questions to try and debunk the idea before i can explain a bit more.

I am having difficulty in understanding what proof we have, besides observation, that gravity is a force of attraction.

Forget Newton for now and look at it the opposite way: that gravity waves emit from all directions at once and have an effect on all matter.
Light, electromagnetic waves, radiowaves and other waves would all propagate at the speed of gravity. They sort of hitch a ride and are propelled at that speed.
That would also mean that the big constant would be the speed of gravity and not the speed of light it's just that it's the same speed.

What would happen then if gravity was a kinetic force that was pushing matter together, would the observations be the same?

Two large bodies in space would still seem to drift together as the gravity force in between them will be weaker than that outside.
A light beam would still bend while near a large mass as the mass underneath will obsorb/change the gravity waves coming from the otherside.
Sideways waves would just cancel out but the difference in strength above and below the beam would cause the light to bend.


Oh, and an atom is the smallest thing that gravity waves can compress and each holds particles that whizz around inside on captured gravity waves.
It's the gravity waves that suddenly get released in an atomic explosion, they collide with outside gravity waves and release energy.

I hope that makes sense as I'm having difficulty understanding it myself.

Strange first post eh!
