Gravity
All of the stuff that the universe is made of is either matter (particles) or waves (energy). We also know that, by Einstein’s relativity equations, that matter is convertible to energy, and vice versa. Einstein’s relativity equations also establish relationships between time and velocity. The faster a thing goes, the slower it’s time reference is.
Light is a ‘quanta’ that is a wave particle. It also has the same speed limit as it’s name, the ‘speed of light.’ Supposedly, nothing, including light, can travel any faster. However, in the ‘90’s observations were made of quantum physics level particles leaving a space before they arrived, thus violating or better said, exceeding the speed of light. This is true. I read the paper years ago; have it somewhere.
And so, there is room for expansion, or extrapolation of all of these relationships.
Here is a question, easily answered. Is gravity a particle, or a wave? As best as I can determine it is either a wave, or, like light, a wave particle, making it just like light. Light travels at a speed, pretty fast - 186,000 mi/sec as I recall. So perhaps gravity does too. We know that gravity is a very small, feeble force, depending only on mass of nearby objects for its kick. There are lots of points of neutral gravity, like the orbits of satellites around planets. Even NASA incorrectly calls these point of ZERO gravity. Simply not true. They are points of neutral gravity, where gravity forces are balanced.
Likewise there is no end to how far light can travel, at least not in a straight line. However, if we get out of the way of a lightbeam (wave), we are in a zone of zero light. I believe the same is true of gravity. If one simply gets out of it’s way, we will experience no gravity.
I visualize waves of gravity like a hanging shower curtain, with waves depicting it surface. For gravity, like all waves, the waves are really moving along, but can be seen as stable, so long as their speed is constant, which of course it is, excluding the effects of friction.
If I now picture several shower curtains hanging parallel to each other, with spaces between them, like sheets on parallel clotheslines, what effects would one find in between these sheets? Nothing? Maybe so.
To travel from across the gap between two of these gravity sheets, some finite distance would have to be crossed. This crossing would then take time. Depending on the sheets (waveplanes) chosen, and whether we crossed between them perpendicularly or on a diagonal, the time to cross would differ. Yet, the waves that make up the gravity planes would of necessity remain in sync. For this to be true, time would have to change between them depending on our angle of crossing. This angle would thus relate time and gravity, by either a change in time, or a change in position. Either way, we would have a new look at time and position. Moving ‘forward’ to the adjacent gravity plane would place us further along, an advanced position, ahead of ourselves in the plane we left. Position travel or time travel. I don’t know, nor do I know if there is a difference. The two may be intraconvertible.
Likewise, I do not what the state of matter between these gravity waveplanes would be, but it seems logical that there would be no gravity there.
Thanks for the inspiration, BLOG. I haven’t written about this, like this, before, only thought about it. Or, maybe it’s just a big fish story. Regardless, it’s fun to think about.
