GRAVITY THEORY BASICS: an interview with Kevin

Published by under General at 11:00 pm

  I have gone over your theory at least a dozen times.  It seems very plausible to me that you have figured out what causes gravity.  Yet I still don’t really understand every concept.  I’m thinking that many people who do not have a PHD in Physics will not understand  your theory.  Could you explain to me, in the shortest way possible, the main concept of your gravity theory?  Maybe use words the average high school physics student can comprehend. I would like to ask you questions to clarify each section of your paper until I understand it.

   Thanks,  Jeff Fordice DDS

LIGO

Published by under Astrophysics at 08:09 pm

LIGO stands for Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory, which is focused on finding long wavelength gravitational waves based on Einstein’s theory of general relativity.  According to a Wikipedia article, the funding to build it was “$365 million (in 2002 USD)” [1] through the National Science Foundation.  The antennas at Hanford, Washington and Livingston, Louisiana are one quintillion times longer than a graviton that is based on electron fractional mass and rotational kinetic energy exchange [2], and are apparently being used in an attempt to detect wavelengths at and around 756 quintillion times longer [3].
With the discovery of the graviton at very short wavelength, rather than very long, the LIGO project may have to be re-evaluated.  I am sure that the scientific skills of the effected people working on LIGO can be used on other projects, and in the end we will be better off with the advancement of science into new and exciting times.

GLAST Calibration

Published by under Astrophysics at 08:35 pm

The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center has an interesting article dated October 17, called “By the Light of the Moon”, by Amber Dance of SLAC Today, which can be viewed at the following site: http://today.slac.stanford.edu/feature/2007/the-moon.asp.
The article states that the moon is “an object with an absolutely known gamma-ray output”, – likely from EGRET data from the 1990’s, and notes that “The moon would be especially useful for calibrating GLAST,”.  Stanford physicist Igor Moskalenko is quoted as saying “Using the moon as a calibrator, you can always be sure that your data are accurate.”
An email I received from a NASA scientist in April 2006, in response to one of my own, said that “the gamma radiation from the Moon was consistent with a conventional model in which cosmic rays hitting the lunar surface produce neutral pi mesons that decay immediately into gamma rays.”, and recommended that I “look elsewhere for possible evidence for gravity photons”.
The question I have is how could the moon be used to calibrate GLAST if it were glowing at an energy of >100 MeV as a result of cosmic ray bombardment?  The bombardment hitting the moon could not possibly be uniform enough from all directions such that it produces a gamma ray output that is steady enough at all times, and in all places where there is a relatively quiet background, so that it can be used to calibrate an instrument.
I contend that the moon has a constant known output of gamma rays because of gravitational output, with the energy centered at 312.76 MeV.

The Comets

Published by under Astrophysics,Newtonian Mechanics at 07:37 pm

Comet McNaught, C/2006 P1, reached apogee around the Sun at the time of the local publicity on the gravity theory with the newspaper articles and an interview on television.  I think of the designation for this comet as follows:
C:  for my wife Cynthia;
2006:  the year the comet was first spotted, even though pictures from late 2005 showed it;
P:  for momentum, the increased electron momentum making the Coulomb force the final mediator of the gravitational force, and the theory a unification theory;
1:  for the quantum intrinsic spin number of a photon, though some physicists say that gravity must have an intrinsic spin of 2 to be always attractive.
Comet Holmes, on the other hand, partially blew up on October 24, 2007.  This was the two year anniversary of the day the main calculation was started.  The main calculation was finished November 12, 2005, a Saturday because I don’t get paid to be a physicist.
About the intrinsic spin, think of gravity as two separate actions after a graviton has been generated.  One is the absorption of a graviton by an electron in an atomic orbital, and the second is the resultant centripetal Coulomb force.  On average, electrons in a body would have greater mass when traveling in the direction of where the highest flux density of gravitons is coming from.  Since an electron gains mass by absorbing a massless photon, which is possible due to special relativity, an intrinsic spin of 1 works out.
Of the two hundred or so emails sent out to scientists, thank you to the small few who responded.  I am also very appreciative to the three PhD physicists who each read and analyzed my paper at some point along the way, and gave me feedback.
Just think, in the free world some of your tax dollars may still be going to support string theory!

Bible Passages and Verses

Published by under Bible at 07:32 am

Psalm 103 (KJV):
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:
3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;
4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and  tender mercies;
5 Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field so he flourisheth.
16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children’s children;
18 To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his that do his pleasure.
22 Bless the Lord, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the Lord, O my soul.

The Strong Nuclear Force

Published by under Nuclear Physics,Quantum Mechanics at 06:13 pm

I think of the strong nuclear force as being due to the vortices* from an electron setting up standing waves within the protons and neutrons within the nucleus of an atom.  For anyone willing to make a try at the math, the Schrödinger equation may be a good place to start.  These standing waves, it is presumed, set up quite nicely within an alpha particle since an alpha particle is very stable.
As a possible consequence, it may be that all nucleons within an intact nucleus have roughly equal positive charges.  In the case where a neutron is ejected from a nucleus, it would gather all the vortices it needs as it takes off and becomes of neutral charge.

Analysis of: Van der Zouw et al., Aharonov-Bohm and gravity experiments with the very-cold-neutron interferometer, 2000

Published by under Neutron Experimentation at 07:51 pm

The findings here are similar to Werner and Klein, as evidenced in the following:

“The aim of our experiment was to directly demonstrate the essential operational signature of all AB-type effects, which is their non-dispersivity.  This is the property that the phase shifts are independent of the wavelength of the interfering particles, which is a consequence of the fact that no classical force is acting on the particles and therefore no positional shift or spread of the wave packet is observable.”

The equation for q0 seems to be pure dimensionally and I am not questioning that, especially after what de Broglie and others came up with along the way.  It is talking about phase shift however.

Analysis of: McReynolds, A. W., Gravitational Acceleration of Neutrons, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, New York, May 11, 1951

Published by under Neutron Experimentation at 07:50 pm

Calculation of the expected drop of the filtered beam makes use of both standard gravitational acceleration at the surface of the Earth and the slit spacing of the experiment.  As in Dabbs et al. fourteen years later, the average velocity of the slow beam is measured, and then compared to the expected difference in drop between the fast and slow components.  The longer wavelength of the slow component would normally produce a wider diffraction pattern through the last slit.  It is unfortunate that one of the peak amplitudes of the diffracted neutrons could be detected near the location of the expected drop.

Analysis of: Yoshiki et al., Observation of Ultracold-Neutron Production by 9-Angstrom Cold Neutrons in Superfluid Helium, 1992

Published by under Neutron Experimentation at 07:49 pm

This represents an experiment where gravity is assumed to be the force that collects ultracold neutrons.  In contrast to other gravity trap efforts where the effect is assumed, this particular experiment actually uses a UCN counter.  Since neutrons are not pulled by gravity unless bound to a proton through the strong nuclear force, and with at least one electron in orbit, the only neutrons that should be expected at the counter at the bottom of the “gravity acceleration tube” are those which go into the tube by random, albeit straight, trajectory.  Supporting this concept is the statement by Yoshiki et al.:  ”(3) The poor ratio of the detected UCN to the expected UCN [3,21,22] in this experiment is not well understood.  We are left with an unresolved attenuation factor of about 100 in order of magnitude.”  The paper suggests that this is due to “bad conductance” in the gravity tube which “might give rise to counterflow of UCN back to the container,”.

Analysis of: Klein, A. G. and Werner, S. A., Neutron Optics, Rep. Prog. Phys., Vol. 46, 1983

Published by under Neutron Experimentation at 07:47 pm

As stated in the abstract, alluded to in the title, and reiterated throughout Klein and Werner, “A range of phenomena similar or analogous to those of classical optics is exhibited by slow neutrons.”  The abstract goes on to say that this includes “reflection, refraction, diffraction and interference”.  It would not be possible for neutrons to have wave characteristics which behave like massless photons in most ways, no matter their velocity, if they were affected by gravity.
Attempts are made in the paper to insert Newtonian gravity, however calculations make use of the quantum in the main.  Additionally, the effect of gravity, as an experiment that is rotated, is given in terms of phase shift.  With wavelengths on the order of Angstroms, it is easy to see that phase will be effected by the gravitational force acting on parts in the test apparatus, in terms of tension, compression, shear, and bending.
There are two experiments referenced in the paper that attempt to include the effect of the Earth’s gravitational field.  In the first, Koester 1965, 1967, as in Dabbs et al, there is a straight path to the neutron sensor after single edge diffraction, in this case at “K5” [p. 282] [2.7.2 Measurements of scattering lengths based on mirror reflection.]
“In the very first neutron interferometer, built by Maier-Leibnitz and Springer (1962) (see figure 19(a))”, the flight path spans 9.5 meters, dimension D in the figure.  “The mean effective wavelength was 4.4 Ǻ”, which corresponds to a velocity of 899 m/s.  Neglecting travel through the prism, a drop of 551 μm would be expected due to a gravitational acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 .  No such drop is mentioned, nor is an adjustment in location of the “scanning slit” mentioned.  If the neutrons were pulled by gravity and coming in at an angle off horizontal, we would expect an effect on the interference pattern.  The position of the “main slit” [Fig. 19(b)] is varied only ± 60 μm. [3.4.1 Interference by division of the wavefront.]
In the same section, with a different apparatus, [Fig. 20], “Klein and Opat (1976)”, there is a shorter flight path, 2.0 m, and a slower velocity, 20 Ǻ, 198 m/s.  Again, no compensation for gravity is shown, and the Fresnel diffraction pattern is implied as being the same as for light of a similar wavelength.  This implication is supported by the main emphasis of the paper.
In the section [3.4.2 Interference by amplitude division], neutron interference is said to be “topologically similar to the Raleigh interferometer of classical optics… (Zeilinger 1981)”, and also “analogous to the Lummer-Gehrke interferometer of classical optics”.  Other types of experiments pointed out as being similar are “band pass monochromators” and “the so called ‘super-mirrors’ (Mezei 1976, 1978, Mezei and Dagleish 1977) which are highly efficient neutron polarizers.”
