Newton and Gravity

After going through Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and its take on how gravity in the universe does not work in reality in my last blog, I would now like to go over Sir Isaac Newton’s Law of Gravity and explain why this is much better at explaining how gravity works in real life.

Newton came up with the theory that an object with mass is attracted to other objects that have mass. He came up with a set of formulae to predict the force of the attraction between two masses (which I won’t go into) and his theory was incredibly successful. It was so successful and he was so sure that he was correct, that he called his theory on gravity a law. Since many other scientists of his day and since have agreed with him, no one bothered to put up much of a challenge to try and dispute this “law” of gravity until Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity came around. This theory changed gravity from being an attraction of two objects, to space being twisted and curved to bring two objects together. The reason why people started to believe Einstein’s theory of gravity is because it explained many things that puzzled scientists through the ages like why time seems to change with the speed of an object. It also explained why Mercury seemed to have an odd orbit around the Sun. It also explained away Newton’s one major flaw; how was gravity produced? To Einstein, gravity was a result of “curved” space. To Newton, gravity was an unexplainable attraction between two objects.

If you have read my earlier blogs on the Theory of Relativity, you will note that I broke Einstein’s theory into two parts, Relativity and the Einstein Effect. It is my firm belief that the Einstein Effect explains how people see things and it is not how things actually are. It is in essence, an effect that explains how the universe is seen; how light can be changed by events and therefore changes what we see. This effect explains why we see Mercury’s orbit as different as what Newton’s law of gravity explains it to be. It is just an image, it is not reality. It also explains why time appears to change speed when objects go faster. Again, this is the appearance of time moving at a different rate, not reality. You can speed up or slow down time through speed the same way you can speed up and slow down time by changing the time on your clock. It is just an illusion. 

While the effect is great at explaining why we see something the way we do, it does not explain what actually happens, especially when we are talking about gravity.

For an explanation on gravity, Newton’s law is really the best one out there. The attraction of two objects and the strength of that attraction based on the mass of each object… I can’t see how anyone can top that. The only problem is where does that attraction come from? Well, wouldn’t you know it, I have a theory.

My theory about the cause of gravity is …wait for it…molecular or atomic bonds. Now this might sound odd but think about it, what happens when you take something massive like the iron core of Earth and calculate the collective power of all of those bonds? You get a substantial amount of collective power that is trying to attract other bonds and or atoms. It’s the power of the collective that reaches out and attracts another object. Newton himself always thought that the core of a planet would have a higher amount of gravity because that is where the densest mass would be. It is the power of the collective atomic bonds that explains gravity.

Science has embraced the power of the collective as they know that this collective can be just as powerful if not more than building something big. New telescopes are rarely being built out of one large piece of material, they are now being made up of different segments that work together. A new space-based camera has recently been built that has dozens and dozens of smaller cameras instead of just one big one as each camera is so powerful that it increases the ability for the camera to focus on multiple objects at the same time yet still keep an overall picture intact. Then there is your television set. It is made up of many little pixels that overall generate a sharp clear picture that can be as much as 100 inches across or more.

If I am correct about gravity, then it is just a form of the electro-magnetic force. This also means that the number of Fundamental Forces is now down to three and makes our universe a little easier to understand.

Now, you might be thinking, if gravity and the electro-magnetic force are actually the same, why is gravity so weak? Good question.

I believe that the electro-magnetic force is channeled and directed to a specific area, so it can become much more powerful than gravity. Gravity is more diffuse and less channeled so it takes a lot of mass in order for it to become felt.

Anyways, I will go into the electro-magnetic force and gravity in a later blog. What I wanted this blog to be about is why I believe gravity can be explained through Newton’s law much better than through Einstein’s Relativity. Einstein’s Relativity is fundamentally flawed and needs to be split into two distinct theories; Relativity and the Einstein Effect. Newton’s law on gravity is missing the why or how gravity exists and my theory that the cumulative effect of atomic bonds in the mass of an object can explain this missing piece.
