So I see that you have thrown away GR since in GR curvature of spacetime produces gravity. Contraction of space cannot produce curvature and so cannot produce gravity.
This contradicts all your statements before about retaining the mathematics (and so the predictions) of GR.
Think about a rubber sheet which has a triangle drawn on it.
What happens to that triangle according to an inhabitant of the rubber sheet if the sheet contracts?
What happens to that triangle according to an inhabitant of the rubber sheet if the sheet curves?.
In the first case the inhabitant sees no change in the triangle. The sum of the angles of the triangle is always 180 degrees. Even lengths remain the same since rulers also contract. The conclusion is that they are in a flat space-time where there is only Newtonian gravity..
I understand you points. - Nice way to describe what you think.
The problem is
only that we don’t know
excactly how to imaging / how to understand what GR really express. This is why gravity so long have been a mystery.
Remember that 100 years ago not many at all did understood GR, and the same is the case today. We have accepted this theory only because we mathematically and by measurement have been force to do so,
not because we understood how GR really works, or which kind of law of nature GR reflects.
Have you ever meet a person that didn’t was totally confused first time he/she hear about GR?
To illustrate that we
fundamental really have understood nearly nothing of GR, except that it is a fact, please make the experiment that follows:
Try to look up the sky, Now seriously ask you self:
- What is bended space?
- How does space bend?
- What causes space to bend?
- How is it possible to understand the “dense space” nature of expansive space?
- And is that expensive “dense space” property related to bended space? Yes or No – How can you know for sure?
- How does matter reach (and affect) space far away?
- Why are you sucked down to earth? - Because of space bend?
- What about mass attraction: - if you have 1000 kg on your big toe, what pulls (sucks) the weight so much down to Earth?, - is it “space curvature” that pulls ? – or does the Earth and the 1000 sucks the weight ? – Why does 1 kg give less pain? - Because of space curves ? or because of matter sucks ? – or ?
Don’t believe everything you read in the book. ?
Don’t be satisfied with haft truths.
Confused? - You should be.
Here follows some step to understand where things went wrong:
1.) Accept that “curved space” is a misleading uncompleted expression, only suitable to confuse and prevent you to understand the true nature of GR.
2.) If you resist, - accept there is
no evidence that support that space “bends or curves”. Have you ever seen “curved space”? - It’s
only an expression invented to
try to explain that Einstein discovered “something” very difficult fully to understand. But this doesn’t mean that the basic of GR is wrong, but rather that this discovered was too much for our as well for Einteins imagination.
3.) Now, - try to understand the law of nature hidden in the mentioned proportional 1 : 1 .
Why is
“g” 100% proportional with the
“amount of space” affected by “g”.
This
must reflect a property of space, a law of nature. Do you want to ignore this? - If not you are on the right track to understand the nature of gravity.
Now seriously ask you self: How is it possible to crack that code 1:1? - What could it express?
4.) Try to allow you self the thought that matter sucks space. This explains everything.
5.) Many wonders (first time) they hear about GR, why there is some kind of conflict between Newtonian and relativistic gravity.
Shortly spoken: Why is time dilation / bended space and acceleration due to gravity not 2 parallel lines? These two do not form a synthesis, why?
The fact is: they do. On the superficial level it’s easy to see that these lines are parallel.
If you understand my previously post (39) you will find that these line also are parallel inside an object. This means you can take another step forward, simply because that the Newtonian equation and GR equation reflect the same underlying law of gravity, and form a synthesis: space contracts.
You must always have two parallel lines. In other words: the velocity caused by acceleration due to gravity + time dilatation + the strength of the (so called) curvature/bended of space, is always parallel lines. Add you can even add one more parallel line: distances (in and out side matter) also change proportional to these values.
All these conclusions are only based on consequences by following the main thread: Space contracts.
