- Resolution of Some Arguments Against Aether Cause of Gravity
| ZP OWER C ORPORATION PAGE OF 352 Z ERO P OINT E NERGY Thirring Lenz Experiment General Relativity has some weaknesses in explaining accelerations seen in the vicinity of massive, rapidly spinning objects. In this situation, the Einsteinian/Newtonian quantification predicts no effects on first principles. But the Einsteinian formula solutions "require" a nonzero tangential velocity to be imparted by a spinning mass. First principles of a space-time continuum cannot explain accelerations in the vicinity of rapidly rotating massive objects because the "warp" of space- time does not change with the rotation of the object. It has been explained that "inertial dragging" takes place. The explanation of inertial dragging (reference frame dragging) is a description without identification of a cause that can be traced to the base theory pp 6 & 18-20, Rotating Fields in General Relativity, J. Islam, 1985}. According to this reference "the precise connection in all its details has not yet been worked out" But such a "drag" implies that there is a friction in the motion of mass with respect to the space-time continuum itself. Friction due to motion with respect to the continuum requires that the continuum be a fixed, primal reference frame -- which must be denied due to the basic assumption of relativity, that there can be no primal reference frame. General relativistic formulations show the requirement of tangential motion when the assumption is made that the continuum is a superfluid. Resolution of Some Arguments Against Aether Cause of Gravity LeSage first discussed the possible "shadowing" of "ultra-mundane particles" as a cause of gravity in 1784. This approach has been abandoned several times by different people. According to Feynman, LeSage-type theories fail as follows "This particular idea has the following trouble the earth, in moving around the sun, would impinge on more particles which are coming from its forward side than from its hind side ... . Therefore there would be more impulse given the earth from the front, and the earth would feel a resistance to motion and would be slowing up in its orbit. One can calculate how long it would take for the earth to stop as a result of this resistance, and it would not take long enough for the earth to still be in its orbit, so this mechanism does notwork. No machinery has ever been invented that 'explains' gravity without also predicting some other phenomenon that does not exist" R. Feynman, Lectures on Physics, 1963, volume 1, chapter 7, pp 9-10 |
