| | Re: Article on True Relativity Hi Profpat I Quote: gave your article a cursory review. It appears interesting but I'll require additional time to try to comprehend all of it. However, at the conclusion you wrote about the " spacetime field emanating from the centre of his mass and how it reacts to any unbalanced force ". Is that spacetime field the same as an entity's unique center of gravity? I think that is why we all feel like the center of the universe. | Yes for a single object it is the same as the centre of gravity and it is the same as the objects centre of mass. The reason I say this is because for two objects the centre of gravity will be between them and its position will depend upon their respective mass whereas each spacetime field remains at each objects centre of mass. Gravity itself is the collapse of the spacetime field and how much the field collapses will depend upon the objects mass. It is a radical view of spacetime which is completely different from that of Einstein and one of the major aspects is that gravity is not a force that works over an infinite distance but is localised to the object. If cosmology is right and the Universe is about 13.75 billion years of age then the gravity of any object will work over a distance of about 1500AU which means the theory correctly models gravity where we know the effects to be true, within the solar system. The observations of the fixed rotation of stars in spiral galaxies are also explained by this concept without the need for ‘dark matter’. The fact that I can model gravity without the use of Newton’s gravitational constant, which no one else has ever achieved, and the fact that the math of True Relativity does not break down at the extremes of the Universe makes me think I am on the right track. I hope your mind is opened by this radical concept of spacetime but those classically trained find it a little difficult to comprehend. If you have any more questions I will be glad to answer them.
