Product Description
Gravity's cause has baffled the world from the beginning. The mystery has been solved. Gravity's cause is proven in this book. This book combines the great works of Newton, Einstein, Kepler, Galileo and Copernicus. Individually, they were unable to determine the cause of gravity. However, when combined, their ideas gel into a complete proof of gravity's cause. It is proven several ways - mechanically, mathematically, visually and by physical behavior. There are several breakthroughs which provide the proof of gravity's cause. You will be amazed as gravity's mystery is unraveled and proven. You will learn how gravity works and be able to understand it.
Reader ReviewsI was hoping for some fresh ideas about gravity, but what I got was a shipment of broken pottery. The author's theory is that gravity is not from mass attracting mass, but is rather created by a rotating rain of "subatomic particles" that is radiated outward in expanding shells from the nuclear reactions inside stars, without which there would be no gravity in the universe. With each shell pushing the shell in front of it, and as the shells are pushed out, they thin and slow down. A mechanical explanation of gravity by a mechanical engineer. Each star radiates out "True Gravity" which strikes the planets and other matter and they radiate out or reflect "True Gravity" and thus generate their own gravity. The "True Gravity" shells rotate at orbital speeds for their distance from the gravity source. Satellites in stable orbits are moving in step with the "True Gravity" shell. According to this theory other stable orbits are impossible. "Orbits of satellites traveling into the oncoming gravity field can't be maintained as they lose speed and keep dropping into lower orbits." (P. 9) Apparently the author has never heard of retrograde orbits or polar orbits and they are just as stable, Halley's comet has a retrograde orbit. The author also believes that objects orbiting in a strong "True gravity" shell close to the source, lose rotation due to a bow wave effect with the shell. "...lack of rotational speed of the closer Planets and moons . . . They stretch the source's field . . . it slows their own rotating speed or it even stops their rotational altogether." (P. 13) Of course what is the real reason for the lack of rotation seen in such cases due is the gravity tide effect as with our moon, the closer side bulges slightly making the moon like an egg with the fat end pointing towards the earth. For flexible bodies this induces tidal heating as the body is flexed as it spins, this constant flexing induces a resistance like friction that gradually slows the rotation as is happening to our earth. In the case of the moon, this 'friction' has stopped the rotation and the bulge is 'frozen in place' and the moon is stuck with one side always facing the earth. Another idea the author has is that an object's spinning increases it's gravity creating "Super-gravity". Of course this effect has never been detected and if it were true would result in a large weight gain when a large mass was spin at high speed such as in large generators, motors and flywheels. The author attempts to negate results of the Michelson-Morley experiment which disproved the existence of any type of background ether in the universe by showing that light moved at the same speed regardless of direction, and since the earth is moving, movement across the ether should have caused noticeable variation in the speed of light in different directions. The author's explanation is that the earth reradiates what it receives from the sun, creating it's own field that moves with the earth. The problem is that the author's shells of "True Gravity" are supposed to rotate at orbital velocities and orbital velocity at the earth's surface would be five miles per second or 18,000 MPH. You could subtract off nearly 1,000 MPH for the earth's rotational speed, but that would still leave the ether field of the earth's "True Gravity" shell moving eastward at 17,000 MPH, which would have been observed in the Michelson-Morley experiment. Tough having your pet theories disproved a hundred years before you even picked up a pen to write them. The author also failed to consider that if moving in step with the "True Gravity" shell would put you in a stable orbit, that at the poles one would only have to slowly rotate at the rate of once a day and you would be weightless, turning faster would launch you into space. If the author is able to do this, I will of course retract my review. "When a sink is drained the falling water is whirled around and outward against the vertical drainage pipe by gravity. When a toilet is flushed . . . caused by the same force. . . . All of these examples rotate counter-clockwise int the Northern hemisphere of the world and clockwise in the southern Hemisphere."(P. 16) I checked in my bathroom, the toilet went CCW and the sink was CW, which is to be expected since the direction of rotation is random or influenced by other effects, since the time to drain is far too short for the Coriolis effect to be a factor and scale of movement too small. Since such an effect is required by the author's theory, my sink, be it ever so humble, was able to disprove the "True Gravity" theory, not bad for a sink that never went to school. This book also only has about 78 pages, including ten full page pictures of the planets with a full page title page opposite each picture. (78 - twenty = 58 pages) Then there is a lot of one sentence paragraphs with large spaces between, and repetition of earlier text and ideas, so there is not a lot in this book. (about what you would find in a pamphlet) On the plus side, the author's math is very understandable and well explained, better than the text at times.
