Gravity & Motion hypothesis © Phil Selwyn 2007
Despite his reservations, Newton was however able to accurately quantify gravitational forces by the following law, which accommodates a centralised mass theory of bodies, calculating the separation of such bodies from their centres. He concluded:
Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distances between them.
Science and experimental evidence have long proved this relationship to be acceptable, and it certainly prevails to hold strong to date. However, in this present format it has not unveiled any real clues as to what mechanisms gravitational force may consist of, and it is this that makes some of us uneasy, as there is an expectation in science to enable a good understanding as to the ‘nature’ of something we are able to quantify, especially relating to a subject matter as fundamental and well researched as gravity.
When we analyse the gravitational effects regarding the Earth/ Moon system as reasonably large specimens, it does seem initially peculiar that although the Earth is over 81x more massive than the Moon, it has only 6x the surface gravity, which neither appears to be conducive with the fact that the Earth is 3.67x the diameter of the moon. It is not until an allowance is attributed for the variation in density, and the application of Newtons law, that we can begin to mathematically reconcile these initial paradoxes. By considering the mass to be concentrated at the centres, and applying the inverse square effect over distance, it appears that the calculations support the experimental evidence within a reasonable degree of error. This however does not allow for an obvious or logical assessment of ‘what’ the gravitational effect is, as on the one hand we assume it to be a constituent of mass, while on the other hand we know that the mass density distribution within a body does not particularly accommodate the necessary assumption of a ‘centralised mass’ theory.
The hypothesis that I am proposing is based on the idea that all matter
absorbs and emits a high frequency electromagnetic radiation, analogous with
quantum and black body theory. This can be considered in the form of
gravitational radiation and gravitrons as compared with light and photons, which
I refer to as ‘gravitration’. I consider the gravitrons to have mass as I
believe this is applicable to all matter in motion, and I cannot envisage any
circumstances within a 'multi-universal environment' where all matter is not in
motion. I am, however, aware that much of the conventional thinking
will not agree, and to that extent it could be construed that the neutrino and
gravitron are of the same group of particles! The major significance of my
hypothesis is that gravity is caused by a repellent force, and not the
initially attractive force that we instinctively assume. The attractive force we
are familiar with only occurs as a result of interaction of this radiation,
which I term the ‘gravitrational vortex effect’. It can therefore be understood
that a particle or spherical mass will absorb and emit this radiation relative
with all other mass in the universe. With the absence of relatively large and/
or close neighbours, such a particle will continue to travel at a constant speed
and direction. However, as the particle encounters the proximity of another
mass, the gravitration from both masses and background sources interact
increasingly, according to the familiar inverse square relationship.
