Gravitation – Its Fundamental Origin and Its Fundamental Effect of Continuous 'Creation' of the Cosmos [ Castel R E, Mar 30, 2011 ]

Abstract

The fundamental origin of gravitation and its fundamental effect of continuous 'creation' of the cosmos is herein put forth by the relativistic formulations that suggest the locally periodic but generally continuous 'creation' or 'emergence' of new cosmic mass-energy according to the motion transformation processes that involve the gravitational fields; the kinematics of the occurrence of the gravitational fields is herein explained according to the principles of pure kinematics.

The kinematics of gravitation depicts three-dimensional motions towards the center of a given mass. The kinematic tendency that is called the force of gravitation or gravitational field is basically illustrated as three-dimensional motions towards the center of a given mass. But, according to the principle of the relativity of motion, the three-dimensional motions towards the center of a given mass can be viewed counter-intuitively as the given mass' outwards motions in all directions.

Figure 2a illustrates the gravitational field using a flat projection of the three-dimensional (spherical) motions represented by the vectors of motion directed towards the center of the given mass – i.e., the infinite number of vector components necessary for the gravitational field.

Figure 2b illustrates the counter-intuitive view of the gravitational field represented by the vectors of motions indicating the outwards motions of the given mass in all directions.

The kinematics of the gravitational field illustrated by Figure 2b is difficult. For how can the given mass have the outwards motions in all the infinite directions?

Because gravitation is fundamentally a concentric kinematic tendency that effects condensation, the outwards motions should be of the kind that does not effect a bias towards the attenuation or inflation of the gravitational mass at the center. So, how can the given mass at the center of a gravitational field move outwards in all the infinite directions?

The kinematics of an infinitely hierarchical cosmos actually involves this exact picture of the outwards motions of the given mass in all the infinite directions.

The revolutions of the gravitational masses in an infinitely hierarchical cosmos define motions that are oriented outwards in all the infinite directions. Each gravitational mass inherently moves outwards in all the infinite directions because the revolutions of all the gravitational masses in the infinitely hierarchical cosmos define for each of the gravitational masses their inherent motions outwards in all directions.

The kinematics of an hierarchical cosmos is detailed with vectors that describe, for instance, the earth's revolution around the sun, the vectors that describe the solar system's revolution around the Milky Way, the vectors that describe the Milky Way's revolution around the local galactic cluster, the vectors that describe the local galactic cluster's revolution around the local super-cluster, and so on ad infinitum. Thus, the revolutions of the cosmic subsystems in the hierarchy define the motions of each of the gravitational masses.

Evidently, the kinematics of the gravitational field conforms to the kinematics of the revolutions of the gravitational masses in an infinitely hierarchical cosmos. And, according to the principle of the relativity of motion, the relative motions outwards in all the infinite directions can be viewed conversely as the motions towards each gravitational center that together define the gravitational field.

The beauty of this is the fact that each gravitational center can be considered as "accelerating in place" relative to the rest of the infinite cosmos and at the same time also having its revolution around a local center – e.g., our earth around our local sun, and similarly our solar system around the Milky Way.

This view clarifies the suggestion regarding the fundamental source or origin of gravitation and regarding the fundamental structure of the cosmos.

The suggestion is that there is an infinitely hierarchical cosmos and the gravitational field occurs because of the revolutions of the gravitational masses in the hierarchy.

Thus, the revolutions of the gravitational centers in the infinitely hierarchical cosmos are the fundamental cause and fundamental origin of gravity.

This view is very simple but involves a somewhat circular logic – gravity occurs because of the revolutions and the revolutions occur because of gravity. This circular logic is abhorred by those who use Occam's razor to dismiss the idea without using their brains for the needed exercise.

But this view is evidently the only view that fits the definition of the fundamental kinematics of the gravitational field. Moreover, this view is actually not altogether of the circular logic since the whole gravitational process presents a net gain according to the suggestion of the continuous creation (continuous mass formation) effected by the universal gravitational acceleration.

This view supports the idea of the motion transformations (i.e., the idea of kinematic relativity) that suggests the 'creation' or 'emergence' of cosmic mass-energy when the acceleration (the revolutions in the infinite cosmic hierarchy) of each gravitational mass is resolved.

The idea of the motion transformations is detailed with the suggestion that cosmic mass-energy emerges when the motions supplied by the infinite revolutions in the cosmic hierarchy are rotated and folded in the gravitational centers and thereby condensed into quantum particles.

Thus, this view supports the idea of the motion transformations that suggests how quantum particles are stabilized in the basic electromagnetic dipole configuration that the author propones. Figure 4 illustrates somewhat the kinematics of the electromagnetic dipole configuration of the quantum particles.

It appears that the needed vectors for the basic electromagnetic dipole configuration of the quantum particles can be accounted for using the vector components that represent the revolutions of the cosmic subsystems in the infinite hierarchy.

This essentially means that the same vector components that render the gravitational fields also render the electromagnetic fields...

Hence, the theory of kinematic relativity that the author propones may be the viable route towards the unification of the theory of the gravitational field and the theory of the electromagnetic-quantum field.

The author propones that the viable starting point for the unification is the genesis formula because it describes the idea of the creation of cosmic mass-energy in which both the idea of gravitation (gravitational phenomena) and the idea of electromagnetism (electromagnetic phenomena) are involved.

Newton states the compounded idea that, "We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances. Therefore, to the same natural effects we must, so far as possible, assign the same causes."

On the other hand, although these actual words are not in his extant works, the words attributed to Occam are "entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity" (entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem). This is also phrased as pluralitas non est ponenda sine necessitate ("plurality should not be posited without necessity"). The phrase most often found in Ockham's work is numquam ponenda est pluralitas sine necessitate, “plurality must never be posited without necessity".

The positively constructive idea, clearly presented by Newton but only implied in Occam and not at all mentioned, is the idea that "entities must be multiplied accordingly when necessary and possible."

Occam's incomplete statement (with the positive vaguely implied) expresses the purely negative idea, which is why his words are a cutting razor. Newton is more complete in his statement of both the negative and positive sense of the compounded idea, which is why his words are a constructive tool.

Newton is obviously more complete in his statement of the compounded ideas comprising the negative and positive sense. Occam's statement is an incomplete redundancy that can accordingly be cut off and done away by the appropriate razor.

Thus, considering Newton's words, we can explain our ideas, our theories, using an infinite regression of the same causes in accordance with the idea that the redundancy is acceptable when the redundancy is necessary and possible.

This allowed idea of necessary redundancy is among the principal ideas considered in the conclusion that there is an infinitely hierarchical cosmos in the which there is the hierarchical revolutions of the cosmic subsystems.

The infinitely hierarchical cosmos is the necessary idea that allows the kinematic idea of gravitation that is explained in my essay...
