The Infinite Reach of Gravity
This thread adds content about the infinite reach of gravity to the ideas conveyed on my previous thread about the Infinite Spongy Universe (ISU). On that thread here is a good point to start and go forward to find a summary of the ISU which includes the cause of gravity and a Glossary of terms used to discuss the ISU or you can go to post #2 of this thread to get a recap. The explanation of why and how the reach of gravity is infinite is covered in the third post on this new thread. The second post lists the events from the referenced ISU thread conveniently recapped and sequenced for you right up to the point where the new content is to be added. The rest of this post addresses the mainstream position, “we can’t know so why speculate” response that makes discussions of the ISU “before and beyond” the big bang an ATM topic. The ISU is about empty space that has always existed and has never been empty. That sounds like a paradox but it simply means that space itself can be empty, but it is not. It contains energy referred to as the energy density of space. It is inescapable that reasoned and responsible speculation about pre-conditions to the big bang takes place. I am conducting such a process when I talk about the ISU. To some, a little speculation is just as bad as speculation about little green men. The ISU presentation is reasoned and responsible speculation about what the universe could be like if it was composed solely of infinitesimal indestructible elementary energy particles that have always existed. There is a proposed testable aspect of the EEP discussed near the end of the referenced ISU thread. Such a test, if devised and successful would bring the ISU into the realm of science. Acceptance still awaits a repeatable test proving the existence of the unifying particle and a peer reviewed paper about how that particle accounts for the energy density fluctuations that characterize the Infinite Spongy Universe. That post lead to a thread about “Isolating Protons” which ended with this post: http://www.bautforum.com/showpost.php?p=953526&postcount=10 A test may very well be devised, just probably not in my lifetime. The expected discovery of the unifying particles that make up the sole content the ISU could be detected by such a test. See post #2 for a recap of the sequence of events that characterize the ISU and lead to the point where content about the infinite reach of gravity will be added. |

Post #3
Why is the reach of gravity potentially infinite? The answer resides in the description of how matter forms. Remember the low energy density around the proton that causes unifying particles (EEPs) to swarm it resulting in the formation of an electron around a proton and the sloughing of the photon? Well that flow of unifying particles is continuous once matter forms. Unifying particles flow into all mass that contains protons, and photons are sloughed from all electrons that surround protons. It is a continuous flow and mass is always surrounded by a zone of low energy density caused by that continuous flow. The low energy density surrounding mass would have the same effect as curved or warped space. The difference between gravity in GR and gravity in the ISU is that there is a specific cause of low energy density zone surrounding mass in the ISU while there are only equations that define the curvature of space in GR, but no cause. Any given volume of space at any energy density contains a “finite number” of unifying particles. If you remove some particles from the perfect background to form a photon, then backfill occurs. Photons take up less space than the EEPs from which they form. Backfill is the movement of unifying particles into the low energy density left by the flow of unifying particles through mass and out as photons. Since there are a finite number of unifying particles in any volume of space, the backfill is felt across the entire volume no matter how far reaching the volume. All of the EEPs in that volume of space are shifted to fill the space vacated by the formation of the new proton. Bodies in space will move toward the path of lowest energy density. In the case of two bodies, since both are surrounded by low energy density zones that reach across any volume of space due to the “backfill” effect, the path of lowest energy density is a straight line between them. They will ultimately tend toward each other and this tendency will eventually draw them deeper into each others “gravitational well”. Hence the reach of gravity is infinite. |

Hmmm, looking at the mainstream equation of gravity I see a 1/R2 law, which means that the gravitational force first gets zero when R gets infinite. So, what is the shocking point here?
BTW gravity does not give an object mass, it gives it weight.

Thank you for the response.
Let me make the correction by editing the statement in post #2 from “Gravity causes matter to attract matter giving matter its mass”, to say, “Gravity causes matter to attract matter giving matter its weight, and weight equals mass times the acceleration due to gravity.” Quote:
What is the cause of the infinite reach of gravity in the mainstream? |

Masslessness of the graviton, just as masslessness of the photon gives electromagnetism an infinite range (potentially).

We show how the masslessness of the graviton and the gravitational self-interactions imply the presence of nonanalytic pieces ∼sqrt[-q2],∼q2ln-q2, etc., in the form factors of the energy-momentum tensor and that these correspond to long range modifications of the metric tensor gμν of the form G2m2/r2,G2mħ/r3, etc. The former coincide with well known solutions from classical general relativity, while the latter represent new quantum mechanical effects, whose strength and form is necessitated by the low energy quantum nature of the general relativity. We use these results to define a running gravitational charge. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6TVN-486T3KT-95&_user=10&_coverDate=01%2F15%2F1981&_rdoc=1&_fmt =&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_ve rsion=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=ed5be87fd22d1 c785f3104efb2431e2f Quantum vacuum energy and the masslessness of the photon P.

Mass in the ISU is the same in any gravitational field, but weight can be very different because the strength of gravitational fields can be very different. Gravity determines the weight of mass. I think this is the same in the mainstream. Matter in the ISU is composed of elementary energy particles. This might also be true of matter in the mainstream if there is success in the search for a Grand Unification Theory and a unifying particle to go with it, but the mainstream does not go so far as to say so yet. The benchmark difference between the ISU and the mainstream right now is that in the ISU there is a perfect background from which matter forms and within which matter exists. This perfect background has energy density because it contains energy in the form of EEPs. In the ISU, as matter is formed there are three particles of interest at the point of abundant matter formation and many particles of interest as ISU nucleosynthesis proceeds. At the point of abundant matter formation protons from, electrons from around protons, and electrons gather energy from the background and emit photons. There is a flow of EEPs from the background into mass and out as photons. Now what does that say about mass? That the proton and electron have mass is clear because they exert and react to gravity in the ISU and in the mainstream. But then there is the photon which is composed of a small fraction of the energy of an electron and is composed of a grouping of EEPs. Does the photon have mass in the ISU? Photons react to mass but do not exert gravity themselves. So in the ISU they have mass to the extent that they can be accelerated by gravity, but they do not have mass because they are not attracted to each other since there is no flow of EEPs through them like there is through mass. |

That answers the question. There is no discussion.
See if this sparks any consternation or appreciation: If the ground state energy for the electron of a hydrogen atom consisted of a cloud of smaller particles, i.e. EEPs swarming the proton, then the energy of the EEP would be determined by the electron ground state energy of -13.6 eV divided by the number of EEPs in the electron cloud at the quantum state n=1, I think. If so, using the formula 1 eV = 1.6 × 10–19 J, then the energy in joules of one unifying particle would be the eV of that particle times 1.6 × 10–19 wouldn’t it? That being the case, then the energy per cubic meter of the perfect background at equilibrium, i.e. the energy density of the greater universe when matter and energy are in balance, would be the joules of one EEP times the number of the EEPs in that volume of space in the greater universe at that density. Given the landscape of the greater universe in the ISU, some reasonable estimates of the energy of space could be made if the energy of the ground state EEP were known. Knowing this energy and using the “infinite reach of gravity” explanation, the energy of the gravitational field in a volume of space would be determinable by comparing the energy at ground state of that volume with the energy of the backfill process that is occurring. That is to say, how many EEPs are shifted into that volume of space vs. how many EEPs are shifted out of that volume of space by the presence of the low energy density space surrounding the mass at some distance away. Therefore the energy of the gravitational field would be directly related to the mass of the object causing the gravitational field and inversely related to the distance that a volume of space is from the object. |

Those few maybe are wondering why I am doing this. I do it because I want to record the details of a cosmology that puts “before and beyond” the big bang on the table with responsible speculation about how it could work and how it could explain the cause of things that BBT just observes and describes but doesn’t explain. I am doing it because the old adage that says we can’t know about the “before and beyond” because there is an event horizon that we can never cross does not mean that we are not constantly influenced by the “beyond” and does no mean that there was no “before”. There was a “before” and it had everything to do with the “now”. So responsible and rational “bottom up” construction of what the before and beyond might be can build a better understanding of our place in time and our place in the landscape of the greater universe. I may or may not have earned some respect by defending my threads, by standing up for myself and what I believe, and by actually offering responsible speculation that can help lead to acceptable speculation. I am speculating about a unifying particle. Protons consist of smaller particles and there is no proton constituent that is stable enough to exist by itself in nature until you get to the unifying particle itself. Any proton constituents that might be extracted under high energy from the proton are themselves composed of unifying particles. The possible configurations of unstable groupings of EEPs that might never-the-less always appear in high energy experiments does not mean that they appear naturally in a low energy environment. Now the question is, was matter as we know it born from a “high energy” event plasma “soup” or was matter as we know it born from the energy density of space after an event that took matter that previously existed and squeezed the dickens out of it? I am talking about squeezing it until it couldn’t retain is structure as “matter” and was forced into a homogeneous ball of extremely compact unifying particles? I think the “soup” of BBT was a homogeneous ball of extremely compacted unifying particles. Unifying particles don’t radiate electromagnetic radiation, matter does. If there was no matter in the initial event then there was no EM emitted when it occurred. That is what I think happened. The “before” is matter that previously existed and got squeezed into a homogeneous ball of extremely compacted unifying particles. Now granted there was a whole lot of EM emitted outside, around and inside during the process of achieving the big squeeze but that was before the squeeze became the overriding entity that eventually emerged. Those compact unifying particles are still individual indestructible particles that contain their own power that is expressed by a pulse that occurs every time they expand and contract. When squeezed into a homogeneous ball of extremely compacted unifying particles, they still want to expand and contract but can’t. They still have the potential to resume pulsing when the density is lowered but first the squeeze must be overcome. The squeeze is gravity; gravity like in a big crunch as in an accumulation of previously existing matter in the form of galaxies, black holes, “dust”, and photons that gravity grabbed from the greater universe and squeezed. The unifying particles became locked but there was a build of potential energy as the locked core grew. Eventually the core burst and out came the homogeneous ball of extremely condensed unifying particles that we now know and love as “our expanding universe”. I repeat this because I am about to make the first estimates of the size and energy of the EEP based on this bottom up approach. The proton is a key to making these estimates. I have recently seen how two separate relationships coming to light from my sequential recap in post #2 can be put together and allow me to make the first estimates of the size and energy of an elementary energy particle (EEP). You will have to decide for yourself if this bottom up analysis leading to quantification of the EEP can be considered responsible speculation or not. In my next post I am going to examine the bottom up construction of the proton from the energy density of space in a new level of detail so that you can see one of those two relationships more clearly. I am looking for a collaborator to work with me in quantifying the ISU so if you begin to have any interest in such a project email or PM me. Last edited by Bogie : 03-May-2007 at 03:46 PM. |

As this differential is reduced to the ideal energy density for matter formation, matter forms quickly across the entire expanse, almost simultaneously. EEPs can finally form groupings when the density declines because they reach the point where they can pulse sufficiently to complete their contraction phase before the space that they are contracting in is intruded on by the expansion phase of an adjacent EEP. When an EEP completes this contraction fully and when it occurs at precisely the instant that the adjacent EEP has reached its full expansion, the two adjacent EEPs get synchronized and from that point forward are joined and hold each other together. Their alternating pulses, i.e. their opposite energy density fluctuations form a bond between them. The opposite energy density fluctuations act as a zone of alternating energy density differential causing them to attract each other when synchronized. EEPs within a proton can be bonded in this way to multiple EEPs via this energy density differential caused by alternating expansion and contraction. Trying to visualize the interaction of billions of EEPs synchronized in a proton is daunting; it is the kind of application that super computers are best at. Because there is no overlap or intrusion due to the synchronization, the joined EEPs pulse alternately in the same space without overlap. Prior to this synchronization they were competing for space and impeded each other, keeping each other from sufficiently contracting. Synchronization happens as just the right energy density of EEPs in space is reached. It can’t occur when the energy density is too high, it occurs quickly and abundantly when the density is just right, and it stops occurring when the space is dominated by protons that quickly form when the ideal density occurs. We get a certain number of protons per volume of space at this energy density. As the protons form, the merged EEPs occupy less space than they did in the instant before they merged. This occurs because before the ideal energy density there was chaotic jostling where the density was too high to allow and EEPs to complete their full pulse cycle without overlapping with adjacent EEPs and there was no opportunity for synchronization due to the overlapping across the entire expanse. When energy density lowers enough and first allows this full contracting and thus allows the synchronization of EEPs pulsing in the same space alternately, there is a more orderly environment and a very high occurrence of synchronization that has the effect of significantly lowering the energy density across the entire expansion almost simultaneously. This is also an important point for later discussion of the variable rate of expansion during abundant matter formation. Synchronized groupings have vacated some space surrounding the new grouping and the EEPs in the energy density of space rush in to fill the vacated space. Vacated space has the ultimate low energy density and creates an immediate energy density differential that the EEPs in the surrounding space must equalize. They rush toward the low energy density. During this rush additional synchronization occurs and the grouping grows into a larger and larger synchronized entity until stability is achieved. Stability is achieved when the surface of the grouping is so orderly that there is no niche for an additional EEP to fit in. Every place on the surface is occupied by an EEP and the surface takes on a boundary-like characteristic because EEPs can no longer penetrate it. About the proton as a whole, the proton surface consists of EEPs that are expanding and contracting, and as a surface EEP contracts, it leaves the surface by moving below the surface and an expanding EEP replaces it on the surface. The surface is always covered by an optimum density of expanding EEPs. Think about it as if the EEPs that have just finished their contraction just below the surface will start their expansion, just as the EEPs on the surface are beginning their contraction. The expanding EEPs will push up into the space that is being vacated by the contraction of the EEPs on the surface. The surface area of the proton sphere is the barrier that the swarming EEPs come into contact with but they can never find an opening because of the perfect stability of the proton at optimum density. So here is the first clue as to the size of the EEP. There is a relationship between the surface of the proton, i.e. the number of EEPs on the surface at any given time, and the volume of the proton, i.e. the total number of EEPs in the entire proton. The radius of the proton in “average EEP diameters” is one of the figures that enter into the calculation of the number of EEPs on the surface of the proton. In the next post I will explain how I determine the “average EEP diameters” that make up the radius of the proton, and I will explain the second relationship that I came upon that allows for the first estimates of the size and energy of the EEP. Note that the EEP always has positive energy. The electric charge is the energy density differential between two energy environments. The negative charge assigned to an electron is an energy differential between the EEPs that make up the electron and the low energy density surrounding the proton. |

If no one is offering any objections ...
I declare the ISU and the EEP to be the mainstream. OK? Consider the implications. All replies to Q&A would have to be from the ISU perspective. ![]() It seems that the current membership is in a bind because I have made such rational and responsible speculation about the EEP and the ISU that no questions come to mind. This stuff is pure? Lurkers, join the ISU with me. Sign up at BAUT (it’s free!), and post on my thread to let me know you are out there. If you want, I’ll make you official members of the ISU. I hate being alone in the ISU. I’m asking for guesses as to what you think I will say are the size and energy of an EEP. Put them in this format: EEP average diameter = X.XX times 10-xx meters EEP energy = X.XX times 10-xx joules Note that the EEP always has positive energy. The electric charge is the energy density differential between two energy environments. The negative charge assigned to an electron is an energy differential between the EEPs that make up the electron and the low energy density surrounding the proton. Therefore the EEP has a positive energy value while the electron has a negative energy value for calculation purposes. It is like money on a balance sheet. The debits are on the left and the credits are on the right, but just like a dollar is still a dollar, an EEP is still an EEP, . |
