    What goes up must come down, right? That’s an old adage we’ve heard many times throughout our lives. Well, the laws of physics behind this saying are a little bit more complicated to explain-and not all of them are completely understood.
    In this episode of Wondrium Perspectives, seven experts discuss what we know about gravity, as well as a few other strange laws that govern our universe.

    Consider the following: Light intensity and inverse square law.
    A laser light in a vacuum would most probably violate this law. And then consider also, a super nova event in the universe might have a more laser effect of the light coming towards us versus a star not going super nova.
    In other words, just utilizing the brightness of a star may or may not be truly accurate as to the actual distance of the various stars.

    Consider the following (about 4:40 in the video, Law of Universal Gravitation), in part:
    "Pull is proportional to the product of their masses".
    And then about 5:08 in the video (bowling ball and feather in a vacuum chamber):
    The mass of the bowling ball going towards the Earth, versus the mass of the feather going towards the Earth, the ball and feather fall at the same rate, BUT the masses are different which would it would seem invalidate the claim that 'pull is proportional to the product of their masses'. Being in a vacuum chamber would basically just remove any friction interference between the object and the 'space' that it is falling through.

    • @charlesbrightman4237
      @charlesbrightman4237 2 роки тому

      For any who didn't get that, the mass of the bowling ball times the mass of the Earth, should produce a greater pull versus the mass of the feather times the mass of the Earth. If this claim were true (that 'pull is proportional to the product of their masses'), then the bowling ball should have a greater pull going towards the Earth versus the feather going towards the Earth, but yet, different masses fall at the same rate.

      @@smileifyoudontexist6320 Sure, F=MA, Force equals Mass times Acceleration. (And should apply whether in a vacuum or not, otherwise, F=MA is not always true.)
      But, when you say they fall at the 'same rate of speed', 'speed' is distance divided by time, distance being two points in space with space between those two points.
      Which then raises the questions of:
      a. What exactly is 'space'?
      b. What exactly is 'time'?
      c. And if space and time can vary, as current science claims, and space can be bent due to the mass of an object as science also claims, then the different masses of the objects should bend space differently, which would then alter the equation for speed. (The amount of bent space around the bowling ball being different from the amount of bent space around the feather.)
      And then additionally, depending upon what 'time' actually is, and if time itself can vary, as current science also claims, then the amount of time varying around the bowling ball might be different that the amount of time varying around the feather.
      So, possibly it's the varying space and time components around the bowling ball and feather that then makes them fall at the same exact supposed apparent rate, from our perspective.
      d. And then also, what exactly is 'gravity' that the bowling ball and feather are falling in?
      e. How exactly does gravity make matter 'fall'?
      f. And 'if' mass bends space is what gravity is, then why didn't the feather 'fall' towards the bowling ball? Surely the bowling ball would make a bigger dent in the fabric of space time than the feather would, (given the bowling ball having a larger mass than the feather).
      g. OR, is modern science wrong about some of their claims?

    Here is the test for the 'gravity' portion of my TOE idea. I do not have the necessary resources to do the test but maybe you or someone else reading this does, will do the test, then tell the world what is found out either way.
    a. Imagine a 12 hour clock.
    b. Put a magnetic field across from the 3 to 9 o'clock positions.
    c. Put an electric field across from the 6 to 12 o'clock positions.
    (The magnetic field and electric field would be 90 degrees to each other and should be polarized so as to complement each other.)
    d. Direct a high powered laser through the center of the clock at 90 degrees to the em fields.
    e. Do this with the em fields on and off.
    (The em fields could be varied in size, strength, density and depth. The intent would be to energy frequency match the laser and em fields for optimal results, cancelling out the em modalities of the laser, thereby leaving behind the gravity modality.)
    f. Look for any gravitational / anti-gravitational effects.
    (Including the utilization of ferro cells so as to be able to actually see the energy field movements.)
    (And note: if done right, it's possible a mini gravitational black hole might form. Be ready for it. In addition, it's possible a neutrino might be formed before the black hole stage, the neutrino being a substance with a very high gravitational modality with very low 'em' modalities.)
    (An alternative to the above would be to direct 3 high powered lasers, or a single high powered laser split into 3 beams, each adjustable to achieve the above set up, all focused upon a single point in space.)
    'If' effects are noted, 'then' further research could be done.
    'If' effects are not noted, 'then' my latest TOE idea is wrong. But still, we would know what 'gravity' was not, which is still something in the scientific world. Science still wins either way and moves forward.

    As soon as I heard the first few minutes of this video, I laughed. A high school dropout can understand motion. If this dropout intuitively analyzes motion to determine what motion is, and what it is that is required to make motion possible, the eventual outcome is the independent derivation of the Special Relativity mathematical equations. See the YT videos at " KSP Special Relativity " to see how incredibly easy it is for a high school dropout to do this, via using nothing but common sense.

    Funny how the law of gravity only works when it involves something up off the ground falling toward the ground.
    Example you put 2 balls on the floor 20 feet apart on a flat level suface they will remain still. Thus their center points will not be attracting each other however if you put one on the same flat surface and hold the other ball above the first ball and then drop the second ball gravity supposedly takes place.

    • @charlesbrightman4237
      @charlesbrightman4237 2 роки тому +1

      And for those who claim 'space' and 'time' do not actually exist except for as concepts, then:
      Consider the 'speed of light':
      a. 'Speed' is distance divided by time.
      b. 'Distance' is two points in space with space between those two points.
      c. If 'space' and/or 'time' did not exist in actual existent reality, except for as concepts, then 'speed' could not exist in actual existent reality, except for as a concept.
      d. If 'speed' exists in actual existent reality, then 'space' and 'time' both have to have some sort of actual existent reality.
      e. Likewise, 'light' which is currently considered as 'em' also has to have an actual existent reality, in addition to being a concept, for 'light' to exist in actual existent reality, in addition to being a concept.
      f. So, if the 'speed of light' actually exists in existent reality, then 'space', 'time', 'speed' and 'light' ('em'), all also have to actually exist in existent reality, otherwise, the 'speed of light' could not actually exist in existent reality, other than just as a concept, (which would put a major kink in a lot of physics formulas).

    String Theory was not a waste of time. Geometry is the key to Math and Physics.
    What if we describe subatomic particles as spatial curvature, instead of trying to describe General Relativity as being mediated by particles?
    Quantum Entangled Twisted Tubules: "A theory that you can't explain to a bartender is probably no damn good." Ernest Rutherford
    The following is meant to be a generalized framework for an extension of Kaluza-Klein Theory. Does it agree with the “Twistor Theory” of Roger Penrose? During the early history of mankind, the twisting of fibers was used to produce thread, and this thread was used to produce fabrics. The twist of the thread is locked up within these fabrics. Is matter made up of twisted 3D-4D structures which store spatial curvature that we describe as “particles"? Are the twist cycles the "quanta" of Quantum Mechanics?
    When we draw a sine wave on a blackboard, we are representing spatial curvature. Does a photon transfer spatial curvature from one location to another? Wrap a piece of wire around a pencil and it can produce a 3D coil of wire, much like a spring. When viewed from the side it can look like a two-dimensional sine wave. You could coil the wire with either a right-hand twist, or with a left-hand twist. Could Planck's Constant be proportional to the twist cycles. A photon with a higher frequency has more energy. ( E=hf, More spatial curvature as the frequency increases = more Energy ). What if gluons are actually made up of these twisted tubes which become entangled with other tubes to produce quarks. (In the same way twisted electrical extension cords can become entangled.) Therefore, the gluons are a part of the quarks. Quarks cannot exist without gluons, and vice-versa. Mesons are made up of two entangled tubes (Quarks/Gluons), while protons and neutrons would be made up of three entangled tubes. (Quarks/Gluons) The "Color Force" would be related to the XYZ coordinates (orientation) of entanglement. "Asymptotic Freedom", and "flux tubes" are logically based on this concept. The Dirac “belt trick” also reveals the concept of twist in the ½ spin of subatomic particles. If each twist cycle is proportional to h, we have identified the source of Quantum Mechanics as a consequence twist cycle geometry.
    Modern physicists say the Strong Force is mediated by a constant exchange of Mesons. The diagrams produced by some modern physicists actually represent the Strong Force like a spring connecting the two quarks. Asymptotic Freedom acts like real springs. Their drawing is actually more correct than their theory and matches perfectly to what I am saying in this model. You cannot separate the Gluons from the Quarks because they are a part of the same thing. The Quarks are the places where the Gluons are entangled with each other.
    Neutrinos would be made up of a twisted torus (like a twisted donut) within this model. Gravity is a result of a very small curvature imbalance within atoms. (This is why the force of gravity is so small.) Instead of attempting to explain matter as "particles", this concept attempts to explain matter more in the manner of our current understanding of the space-time curvature of gravity. If an electron has qualities of both a particle and a wave, it cannot be either one. It must be something else. Therefore, a "particle" is actually a structure which stores spatial curvature. Can an electron-positron pair (which are made up of opposite directions of twist) annihilate each other by unwinding into each other producing Gamma Ray photons?
    Does an electron travel through space like a threaded nut traveling down a threaded rod, with each twist cycle proportional to Planck’s Constant? Does it wind up on one end, while unwinding on the other end? Is this related to the Higgs field? Does this help explain the strange ½ spin of many subatomic particles? Does the 720 degree rotation of a 1/2 spin particle require at least one extra dimension?
    Alpha decay occurs when the two protons and two neutrons (which are bound together by entangled tubes), become un-entangled from the rest of the nucleons
    . Beta decay occurs when the tube of a down quark/gluon in a neutron becomes overtwisted and breaks producing a twisted torus (neutrino) and an up quark, and the ejected electron. The phenomenon of Supercoiling involving twist and writhe cycles may reveal how overtwisted quarks can produce these new particles. The conversion of twists into writhes, and vice-versa, is an interesting process.
    Gamma photons are produced when a tube unwinds producing electromagnetic waves.
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Within this model a black hole could represent a quantum of gravity, because it is one cycle of spatial gravitational curvature. Therefore, instead of a graviton being a subatomic particle it could be considered to be a black hole. The overall gravitational attraction would be caused by a very tiny curvature imbalance within atoms. We know there is an unequal distribution of electrical charge within each atom because the positive charge is concentrated within the nucleus, even though the overall electrical charge of the atom is balanced by equal positive and negative charge.
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    In this model Alpha equals the compactification ratio within the twistor cone. 1/137
    1= Hypertubule diameter at 4D interface
    137= Cone’s larger end diameter at 3D interface where the photons are absorbed or emitted.
    The 4D twisted Hypertubule gets longer or shorter as twisting or untwisting occurs. (720 degrees per twist cycle.)
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    How many neutrinos are left over from the Big Bang? They have a small mass, but they could be very large in number. Could this help explain Dark Matter?
    >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
    Why did Paul Dirac use the twist in a belt to help explain particle spin? Is Dirac’s belt trick related to this model? Is the “Quantum” unit based on twist cycles?
