It seems the only relevant expansion necessary would the massive expansion of localized systems. |
Dear Nobody:
The same EM force that prevents the centers of 'particles' from ever making 'contact' also maintains massive systems at a distance from one another. EM gravity
on or near a massive system manifests as a repelling force in accordance with GR, whereas,
at greater distances it manifests as an impelling force, in accordance with SR.
In this consideration, the work of Einstein and Newton are quasi compatible; that is, there is an interval of space prevailing between material entities
(two or more billiard balls in collision don't actually make 'contact', because there are no 'surfaces' - EM forces are emanated from and act between all material centers), in both the realm of the micro as well as the macrocosms.
Will you elaborate on what you mean by 'summing up all the maths as zero', and, your closing sentence - "It seems the only relevant expansion necessary would (be) the massive expansion of localized systems"?
Also request your thoughts on the issue of Lorentz Transformations as applied to Einstein's contraction of matter in (linear) motion.
