10.4 Gravity Breakthrough: Springing into a Gravitational Revolution
Gravity is one of the most familiar everyday phenomena, yet it has mystified scientists and laymen for centuries. Even today, although the current official position on gravity, is a continual “spacetime warping” around objects — a claim from Einstein’s General Relativity theory, it is also still widely considered an endless attracting force emanating from objects, as claimed in Newton’s gravitational theory.
Setting aside for the moment the troubling implications, of two different physical descriptions of gravity in our science, it turns out that the behaviour of a simple spring, may hold the final answer to this age-old mystery.
Consider what happens, when a loosely coiled spring is stretched apart from both ends, while laying on a tabletop, as shown below in the left-hand frame. The opposing forces spread equally across the spring, causing an equal coil spacing across the spring, which also occurs, whether either force pulls fully from the very end, or is divided to pull directly on each coil:
However, with only a single continual pulling force on one end, shown on the right, the coils stretch more at the leading end, as they strain to continually accelerate, the ongoing resisting inertia of the rest of the spring. In this case, there is successively less stretch toward the trailing end, as there is successively less trailing-coil mass, to cause inertial drag.
This deceptively simple experiment, has enormous implications, for both Newton’s gravitational force, and Einstein’s ‘warped spacetime’ theory of gravity — and for understanding the true physical nature of gravity itself.
The first important point, is that it highlights a widely overlooked but critical error, surrounding Einstein’s famous “space elevator” thought experiment, which forms the foundation of his Principle of Equivalence, and his later associated General Relativity theory of gravity.
10.4a The Erroneous “Principle of Equivalence”
Einstein claimed that all experiences and experiments, occurring inside a constantly accelerating elevator, moving upward in deep space — far from any gravitational influence — would be indistinguishable, from them occurring under the influence of Newtonian gravity on Earth.
This claim is known as the Principle of Equivalence, and forms the cornerstone of gravitational physics in today’s science. However, the simple spring experiments just discussed, can be used to show that this is an erroneous claim, with enormous implications for our understanding of gravity.
Similar to the left-frame tabletop experiment above, a hanging spring on Earth, should have two opposing forces distributed across it, equally spreading its coils — the force of gravity pulling downward, and the restraining force, that effectively pulls upward.
However, as in the right-frame of the above tabletop experiment, a spring attached to the ceiling, of Einstein’s continually accelerating deep-space elevator, far from Earthly gravity, should exhibit the unequal coil distribution of a spring, pulled from only one end:
So, this shows that Einstein’s claimed “Principle of Equivalence”, between Newtonian gravity, and pure acceleration in deep space, must be wrong — the effect of being accelerated upward in space, must differ from an attracting force emanating from a planet.
If Einstein had remained faithful to his original “space elevator” inspiration, rather than developing his General Relativity theory for equivalence to Newton, he would have produced a new understanding of gravitational physics, that clearly differed from Newton’s, and which could be easily tested by a simple hanging spring experiment.
Instead, Einstein effectively abandoned his space-elevator inspiration, in favour of a mistaken “Principle of Equivalence” to Newton, and a related “warped space-time” proposal for the physics of gravity, in his General Relativity theory.
10.4b A Verifiable Revolution in our Understanding of Gravity
But why concern ourselves with this hanging spring issue, in a deep-space elevator, especially if we already know that Einstein’s Principle of Equivalence, and General Relativity theory, are widely accepted today, and supposedly even proven, by highly sophisticated experiments?
The reason is, this very same hanging spring experiment can be performed by anyone — by simply suspending a well-known spring toy from one end, showing that gravity on Earth behaves precisely, as in Einstein’s original space-elevator inspiration, and not as in either Newton’s “gravitational force” theory, or Einstein’s equivalent “warped space-time” General Relativity theory.
This simple experiment, shows a hanging spring with an unequal distribution — here on Earth — which could only occur, if it were continually accelerated upward from its suspended end, and not stretched uniformly by an attracting “gravitational force”, or equivalent “space-time warping”.
This further shows why no solid scientific explanation, for the operation of Newton’s proposed attracting force, has ever been settled upon, and nor has its apparently endless power source ever been identified or explained.
This also means, that Einstein’s efforts to mirror Newtonian gravitational theory, in his General Relativity theory, are equally verifiably in error. And that the experiments presented as proof, were conceived and designed, such that their claimed “success” actually constitutes no particularly meaningful result at all.
10.4c Could the Evidence Still Support Today’s Gravitational Theories?
The preceding discussion, shows that Newton’s theory of an attracting gravitational force, is readily disproven by a simple hanging spring. And so is Einstein’s ‘warped space-time’ General Relativity theory, which was deliberately designed, to be functionally equivalent. But before addressing what all of this means, it can still be tempting to dismiss the above discussion, with intuitive support for today’s gravitational theories, such as the following:
‘The coils at the top of a hanging spring, simply bear the weight of the rest of the spring hanging below. And those further down, have fewer coils below them, thus less weight to bear, stretching successively less. This results in more stretch at the top, and successively less toward the bottom — a non-uniform hanging spring.’
This may initially sound reasonable enough, but the first hint of a flaw in this logic, is that it is at odds with the earlier tabletop experiment, showing that two opposing forces (such as gravity pulling down, and a restraining force pulling up), should result in uniform coil spacing.
So, what is the logical flaw in the above reasoning? It is the presumption that the strain caused by weight, is solely due to a downward pull from gravity, and that this strain accumulates with the weight of the lower coils, tallying to greatly stretch the upper ones.
The error in this logic, is shown in the first frame of the diagram below, where an object’s weight is shown as solely due to a downward pull from gravity. If it were literally true, that there is nothing but a downward force on the object, then the object would not rest as a weight in our hand, but would be in a weightless free-fall, as shown in the second frame.
The very reason the object is not in a weightless free-fall, but sits instead as a weight in our hand, is because there is an opposing force — in this case from our muscles — holding it in place, as shown in the last frame:
Similarly, the error of both logic and physics, in the weight-based reasoning for the non-uniform hanging spring, is the suggestion that the weight of each coil, is solely due to a gravitational force (frame 1 below), with downward weight accumulating along the spring.
In actuality, a scenario with only a downward gravitational force, would produce a spring in weightless free-fall (frame 2 below), which would accelerate toward the ground, with no stretching at all, in the absence of an opposing upward force.
A statically hanging spring (last frame), however, actually has two opposing forces distributed throughout it — according to today’s gravitational theory (gravity acting downward, and the restraining force acting upward), which, again, should equally spread its coils.
There can be no such thing, as ‘accumulating coil weights’ in a hanging spring, caused by a lone gravitational force pulling them downward, and adding up to cause a non-uniform distribution. There can only be equally stretched coils, from two opposing forces.
There remains no viable explanation in today’s science, for the observed non-uniform distribution of a simple hanging spring — experimentally disproving all current gravitational theory.
10.4d The True Nature of Gravity Finally Revealed
So then, what does all of this mean? If a simple hanging spring, experimentally disproves both Newton’s attracting-force suggestion, and Einstein’s warped space-time proposal, what does it mean, when the experiment mirrors Einstein’s upwardly accelerating space elevator? A strong hint, is that this experimental result, is completely in line with a compelling new theory of gravity, known as Expansion Theory.
This new theory states that all atoms — and, by extension, all objects composed of atoms — are slowly and continually expanding, by roughly one-millionth their size each second. This underlying expansion is unseen directly, as everything expands equally, but is felt as a force beneath us, from our huge expanding planet. But it is seen indirectly, as all objects, regardless of mass, appear to fall equally to the ground (which actually rises to meet them all equally).
This explains why Einstein’s space elevator, correctly captures the observed behaviour of a hanging spring on Earth, since our planet’s constant expansion, effectively acts as an elevator constantly accelerating us upward.
In this case, a suspended spring on Earth, effectively hangs in the “elevator”, with a singular continual upward pulling force, as we hold it suspended. Here, the accumulated ongoing resisting inertia, of the lower coils, would indeed cause greater stretching in the upper coils, and result in the non-uniform distribution observed in the hanging spring.
This also explains, why the spring’s behaviour does not match, either Newton’s or Einstein’s demonstrably flawed downward-pulling theories of gravity, which could only cause equal coil distribution.
And, according to the formal Scientific Method, any single solid contrary experimental result, definitively disproves any theory — regardless of how well it may otherwise match or model observations.
The only viable conclusion from this discussion, and from both experiment and our understanding of physics, is that the effect we call ‘gravity’, arises from a universe of actively expanding matter, rather than one of separate inert matter, and active “gravitational energy”, with no known, and necessarily draining, power source.
Ultimately, in Expansion Theory, all forms of “energy” turn out to be, various forms of actively expanding atomic or subatomic matter, with “energy” being a mere misunderstanding, of a universe where all matter actively expands, by its very nature of existence.
