Gravity: Some Further Thoughts

Current theory holds that Gravity came into existence in the primordial universe upon the
separation of forces, and that it is mediated by a particle, the Graviton. Despite significant analyses and
research devoted to it, no trace has been found of the posited particle. As gravity has not been shown to
be a force, and since we know it exists, then it may be a property of Space itself. We now know that
Space is not the static Newtonian Space, but the dynamic Einsteinian Space, which is affected
by a mass.

The Einstein-inspired experiment showed that the sun's mass bends Space slightly, causing a
slight deflection of the image of certain stars behind it. Such deflection can only be caused by
refraction, a modification of the medium through which a light ray passes. The only possible
modification of the Space around a mass is a compression of that Space, as Einstein posited. However,
if there were no depth to the compression of Space, there could have been no deflection of the star's
image through refraction. The images caused by gravitational lensing are rather large, resulting from a
much greater refraction; caused by a much greater mass, indicating that there must be a depth to the
refractive medium, the Space surrounding a mass. As photons have no mass, they cannot be affected
by gravity; but as Space is compressed by a mass, Space bends around a mass, and the photons follow
the bend. Thus, the photons appear to be affected by the gravity of the celestial object, but they are not.

It can be concluded that any mass compresses its surrounding local Space omnidirectionally, in
proportion to its size: the greater the mass, the greater the compression of Space surrounding it, the
greater the refraction of light rays passing through that compressed space. Whatever the compression of
Space surrounding a mass, it must have a thickness or depth.

Matter and Space were both created within trillionths of a second of each other, by the same
phenomenon, the mutual annihilation of matter and anti-matter in the primordial universe. It is
understandable that there should exist some type of affinity between a mass and its local Space, that
causes the phenomenon of compression of the Space surrounding the mass.

The Theory of Gravity posited here is that the mechanism is symmetrical, a common physical
phenomenon: mass affects Space and Space affects mass. Mass exerts an omnidirectional pull that
compresses its surrounding local space, and that compression propagates to the contiguous Space;
exerting a symmetrical attraction on a mass that it surrounds. As Space is 3-dimensional and
contiguous, a mass creates a local compression of Space which propagates omnidirectionally, with the
degree of compression being proportional to the size of the mass, from the compression of local Space
compressing contiguous Space, and so on, with a compressed Space attracting any mass that is
present therein from the directions of all masses within range.

This attraction may be visualized as being analogous to the action in a spider's web: when
any part of it is touched, the effect is transmitted throughout the web, localizing the source for the
spider.

If gravity is considered a force, its comparative weakness is puzzling. Newton calculated that
its strength is a product of two object's mass and varying inversely as the square of the distance between
them. However if, as posited herein, Gravity is a phenomenon relating to the compression of Space
itself, caused by any mass in direct proportion to the importance of that mass and serially propagating
omnidirectionally therefrom to contiguous Space, then it is understandable that not only would the
compressor effect decrease as the distance from the originating mass increases, but an affected mass at
any distance from the originating mass would only receive a fraction of the total Gravity (compression)
from that originating mass. Thus, the total strength of Gravity of any mass is much greater than its
calculated effect on any other mass. It is obvious that for celestial objects that are closer to each other,
such as the Earth and the Moon, the compressor effect has not been greatly diminished. Since Gravity is
exerted via the compression of contiguous Space and in a serial manner, its propagation must be less
than that of light.

When the universe was younger and had less volume, the effect of gravity was stronger, as was
the counter effect of dark energy. But Gravity appears to have been the primal phenomenon that has
shaped, and still is shaping, our universe. We see evidence of galaxies having merged; today our galaxy
and Andromeda are heading towards a merger..

Between any two celestial objects, there is at least one point at which the compression of the
Space of each, and therefore the strength of the attraction of each on any mass situated at such a
point, are equivalent, such that there is no net gravitational effect on that mass. A mass, and its
compressed Space, moving through the compressed Space of a celestial object at a speed comparable
to the strength of the attraction of that celestial object's Space on the compressed Space of that mass,
experiences the equivalency of the two effects, such that there is no gravitational effect on that mass. A
large planet orbiting its star in an ellipse causes the star to wobble because the planet's compressed
Space attracts the star's compressed Space unequally. The Earth's rotation pulls its compressed
Space with it, pulling on its contiguous Space, and this effect propagates to the Moon's compressed
Space, causing the Moon to wobble, and this wobble may provide a test for the theory of Gravity
proposed herein. The gravitational effects of a large comet, such as Haley's, on a celestial body as it
passes close by, should also cause that celestial object to wobble slightly. An apple falls to Earth when
its stem breaks, because the attraction of the Space of the Earth's mass on the Space surrounding the
apple's mass is no longer held in check by the apple's stem. An optical curiousity, known as stenoptic
glasses, have small pinholes, which create a certain refraction of an image, but it was not known why
this shsould be so. It is proposed herein that the refractive phenomenon is due to the compression of
the Space of the pinhole casused by the gravity of the mass surrounding the hole. This is exactly the
same phenomenon as cosmic lensing, on a much smaller scale, visible to the human eye when one
looks through a stenoptic hole.
