www.ag-physics.org /gravity 2 1.: In Einstein’s theory: - ‘c’ is constant and a light beam moves straight - Space-time is curved 2.A: Equivalently (almost) - ‘c’ is variable and light follows the refraction law - Space and time are conventional Content ‘ 2.B: Gravity is refraction rather than a force The Origin of Gravity 2 The 2 alternatives for GR / Gravity

3 Space and Time 3 ‘ What is Space? How do we measure space? Can we measure space? The Origin of Gravity

5 5 ? ? ?? ? ? ‘ Conclusion: Space cannot be directly measured; space is a concept Measurable physics are about objects and fields
6
6 Space and Time 6 ‘ What is Time? In Special Relativity this means: What is Dilation? Lorentz-Transformation of Time: The Origin of Gravity Plausible conclusion: The physical counterpart to Time is an internal motion within an elementary particle

(de Broglie 1924 ) (Dirac / Schrödinger 1928/30) (Relativity) (Momentum law) orbit (Spin, mag. moment) 7 The Origin of Gravity This is called here the Basic Particle Model valid for every elementary particle

www.ag-physics.org /rmass 10 The Mass Equation ‘ The classical magnetic moment: Or both equations combined: = Bohr magneton in case of the electron universally valid for all elem. particles Radius R computed from the magnetic moment and then inserted above the correct mass m universal for all elem. particles! 10 The Origin of Gravity
11
www.ag-physics.org /gravity 11 Now ‘ The Origin of Gravity 11 General Relativity / Gravity with / without Einstein
12
www.ag-physics.org /gravity 12 The Shapiro-Experiment: ‘ c c P=1/2 or 1 depending on direction 12 Einstein‘s view: this is a seeming reduction of c The Origin of Gravity
13
www.ag-physics.org /gravity 13 The gravitational field of the sun: The application of classical refraction yields for the vertex: ‘ Now: Acceleration at rest!! P=1/2 or 1 depending on direction Integrating deflection 2 from – to + yields: 1.75 arcsec …. with Newton: 0.88 arcsec 13 This was the great breakthrough for Einstein in 1919 (Solar eclipse)!! Einstein‘s view: the path ís straight but the space is curved The Origin of Gravity
14
/gravity14 Elementary Particle in a Gravitational Field (with Vertical Axis): ‘ Gravit. Source c c No dependency of the mass! 14 The Origin of Gravity
15
/gravity15 Formal Treatment of General Relativity (Gravity) ‘ 15 Schwarzschild Solution: is the starting point for the classical proofs of General Relativity: - Perihelion Advance - Gravitational Lensing - … The Origin of Gravity
16
/gravity16 Formal Result of General Relativity (Gravity) ‘ 16 for radial motion Reduced speed of light c Reduced field distance Schwarzschild Solution for tangential motion in radial direction Lorentz Transformation (time-related) Speed split into radial/tangential portion Now Gravity: The Origin of Gravity
17
17 The Physical Causes of Relativity 17 ‘ Field Equations Riemann Geometry As a comparison: The Schwarzschild Solution derived with Einstein
18
/gravity18 The Schwarzschild Solution derived without Einstein ‘ 18 for radial motion Reduced speed of light c Reduced field distance Schwarzschild Solution for tangential motion in radial direction Lorentz Transformation (time-related) Speed split into radial/tangential portion Now Gravity: The Physical Causes of Relativity
19
www.ag-physics.org /gravity 19 Gravity is the change of the speed of light in the vicinity of an object What is Gravity? Gravity has nothing to do with mass ‘ The Origin of Gravity 19 But: What is the physical reason for the change of the speed of light ‘c’ in the vicinity of an object?
20
/gravity20 Why is ‘c’ reduced? Average speed < c ‘ Reduction of c independent of Radius independent of mass --> by the perturbed path of a light-like particle 20 Force is the Strong Force This solves Quantum Gravity! c The Origin of Gravity
21
www.ag-physics.org /gravity 21 Dark Matter Acceleration (Dark Energy / Cosmological Constant) Quantum Gravity ‘ The Origin of Gravity 21 Open problems in Gravity / Cosmology
22
www.ag-physics.org /gravity 22 The Dark Matter Problem: Missing Matter in a rotating Galaxy ‘ The Origin of Gravity
23
www.ag-physics.org /gravity 23 Rotation of the Galaxy NGC 3198 ‘ halo (of dark matter) photons The Origin of Gravity 23 Axions, neutralinos etc
24
www.ag-physics.org /gravity 24 Inflation ‘ The need for inflation: At early times there was a causal connection between regions which move off each other at extreme speed requirement for contracted space The Origin of Gravity 24 c/c 0 1 10 25 10 50 Development of ‘c’ Big Bang now time The need for causal connection: Is also fulfilled with a high value of ‚c‘ in an unaltered space Alternativ:
25
www.ag-physics.org /gravity 25 Need for Dark Energy? ‘ Development of the Universe: c/c 0 1 10 25 10 50 Development of ‘c’ Big Bang now time The Origin of Gravity 25 Doppler-Effekt: If ‚c‘ was higher at ealy times then we get – from the formula – a higher speed for the early supernovae. The acceleration at later times disappear. Doppler- Effekt:
26
www.ag-physics.org /gravity 26 What are the benefits of this interpretation of General Relativity and of gravity? i.e.: (i) the particle model, (ii) variable ‘c’, (iii) conventional space and time The “Dark Matter” phenomenon Summary The necessity of the Equivalence Principle (which is an fact derived here) The “only attracting” effect B. The model explains: The force #4 assigned to gravity (non-existent; step towards a unified theory) Conflicts between gravity and quantum theory - QUANTUM GRAVITY BECOMES OBSOLETE C. The model avoids: 26 The Physical Causes of Relativity A. The model is mathematically easy and is based on a physical understanding – can even be taught at school ‘ ‘ The apparent expansion phenomenon - “Dark Energy” or “Cosmological Constant Gravity numerically like Einstein at least up to Schwarzschild
