About Gravity and More!!!
The book Gravity, Quasi Black Holes and Cosmic Relativity is about gravity and more. The main issue is with regard
to a consistent interpretation of theories in modern physics. Theories of concern are special relativity, general
relativity and quantum physics. It is here contended the established interpretation of general relativity is
inconsistent with the relative space-time dynamics of special relativity, and consequently is further inconsistent
with quantum physics. The main implications of this inconsistency are with regard to black holes and the
compatibility of quantum physics. Further implications are with regard to “big bang” and “steady state” cosmology
and a cosmic principle of relativity.
The foundation of special relativity is with regard to constant light speed. Why light speed is the same relative
to one observer moving relative to another is because the relativity of space-time is consistent with constant
light speed. Because clocks in relative motion are relatively retarded, and because lengths are relatively
contracted in the direction of relative motion, light speed is the same relative to all observers.
This constant nature of light speed is not maintained by the established interpretation of general relativity.
Light speed is said to vary according to the relative strength of the gravitational field. According to
established interpretation of theory space-time is curved due to the presence of mass but this space-time is
somehow not the same as the relative space-time of special relativity. But it can be shown nonetheless all
relativistic effects of a gravitational field are consistent with the relativistic effects of relative motion.
The two theories can, in fact, be interpreted without any need of mathematical modification as having the same
form.
Interpreting general relativity to be of the same form as special relativity has implications with regard to black
holes. They are really only quasi black holes. By the established interpretation of theory, whereby a gravitational
field retards light speed, nothing can escape the field if its gravitational strength requires a speed equal to or
greater than that of light. However, by another interpretation of theory, whereby general relativity is
analogically the same as special relativity, the black hole does not actually occur. The reason it does not
occur is because the space-time of an observer in either relative motion or a gravitational field relatively
expands. It relatively expands because of a slower clock moving a relatively extended distance during each local
event. Therefore space-time can expand to infinity relative to a greater gravitational strength of the field and
conversely can shrink back when escaping from the field. The process is totally reversible.
The black hole implication is inconsequential inasmuch as the only way to prove the result is to enter into what
appears as one to find out if it is truly a black hole or only a quasi black hole. Since clocks would be greatly
retarded by the gravitational field, this could take billions of years, at least.
More pertinent implications are with regard to quantum physics. By established interpretation of general
relativity space-time curvature cannot be quantized. The geometrical interpretation of space-time, as according
to the established interpretation of general relativity, is thus inconsistent with the conditions of quantum
physics. However, quantum physics cannot be incompatible with the relative space-time of special relativity.
If it were, then its results would indicate such properties of absolute space and absolute time, which contradict
relative space-time. What is pertinent about all this is it follows general relativity is also consistent with
the conditions of quantum physics if interpreted in a manner consistent with special relativity.
Further implications are with regard to a cosmic principle of relativity. Neither special relativity nor general
relativity by itself leads to this principle. What does lead to this principle is a more in-depth analysis of the
underlying nature of quantum physics. With the addition of quantum parameters connecting with relative cosmic
densities the visible universe becomes relative. There are thus visible finite universes existing within an
infinite one. This relative visibility of the universe constitutes a cosmic principle of relativity replacing
such previous cosmologies as big bang and stead state.
