Gravity & Motion hypothesis © Phil Selwyn 2007
In considering this idea, it is apparent that the concept of the inverse square relationship as proposed by Newton remains predominant. The routes of this, I believe, can be logically associated with an electromagnetic phenomenon for the following reasons:
The same inverse square effect of force over distance applies to permanent and electromagnets.
Intensity of light and other forms of radiation over distance also follows this relationship.
The ratio between the increase in radius and surface area of a sphere also adheres to the same relationship.
In considering the surface area of a spherical mass, it is apparent
that it provides the ‘window’ through which radiation can be emitted and
absorbed. It therefore logically follows that the larger the surface area, the
greater the exchange rate of such radiation.
It is also noticeable that the
smaller the radius of the sphere, the greater the ratio of surface area to mass,
such that it doubles with each halving of the radius. This is significant in
that it gives an insight as to how combined radiative forces could be relatively
large in comparison to the size of minute particles, and in considering gravity
to be a radiative force, it is obvious to make an assessment as to how strong
such bonds might be. Indeed, I believe it might account for the atomic and sub
atomic forces we currently distinguish as being of a completely separate origin.
A table of figures below demonstrates the relationship between the radius, surface area and volume of spheres, where ‘e’ denotes Earth and ‘m’ the moon. Other than the inclusion of the earth at 3.67r and the 3.0r, the radii are consecutively doubled.
