Don't step on mine.
Quick question: is gravitation postulated to be negative space emitted by matter/energy?

In other words, does matter/energy constantly emit negative space?

If it emits negative space, where does positive space come from?
 
Define "negative space". It is a term with which I am unfamiliar.
Negative space neutralizes space.

Where is the space/antispace symmetry? Or does matter/energy just suck God's tit for juicy space?


@skepticalbip- Yeah. I tried to look it up.

Just done a search of the Internet. I could find nothing on the concept. The OP will have to give links or something.
 
Problem being, I searched for information on negative space as well. I'm wondering about the idea of negative space. Has to exist. Unless space is just that good. :D

Space is that good. It is just that matter sucks. :smile:

Sorry but someone had to say it.




Physics rarely deals with trying to define exactly what reality is (that's more the realm of philosophy). Physics deals more with developing mathematical models to describe how reality works. Particle physics, field theory, Newtonian mechanics, relativity, etc. all have their mathematical models of how gravity works and all the models work but gravity is seen differently in each. It may be interesting to see a mathematical model using "negative space" that actually worked in descrobing (and predicting) all the gravitational interactions that have been observed.
 
I'm not sure if I read this somewhere or if it was a unique idea that occurred to me while under the influence:
The vacuum of space is caused by gravity, which draws matter into the various potential wells like stars and planets. Therefore there is a force in opposition to gravity which is a sort cosmological suction.

Negative space neutralizes space.

What does "neutralizes space" mean? In what way can space be neutralized? Can you show me an example, using math, that shows me how space is neutralized?

You are using terms that have very specific scientific meanings in ways that are inconsistent with my understanding of physics. If you are inventing new physics, then you should be explicit about the definitions of your terms and how they relate to each other mathematically.

That sounds like meaningless drivel. Can you express this in equations? It's kind of the lingua franca of physics.
 
That's a negatory Space Captain...what's your 20? Smokey Space Bear is hanging out at light year 200.

I just got busted for running Coors across negative pace...over.

Ok, it occurred to me that this has to have been worked out before, and rejected, or we someone would have heard of it. I'll show you the math anyway, so you understand what I mean by "neutralizing", "absorbing", or "negating" space.

V_c= volume of space "neutralized"

V_e= ~ Volume of space occupied= 110* 10^10 km^3

\(r_e= \sqrt[3]{\frac{110 \times 10^{10} km^3}{\frac{3}{4\pi}}} = 6403.754763690467 \, km\)

\(d= 4.9 \,m\)

\(r_n=r_e - 4.9m = 6403.749863690467 \,km\)

\(V_n= r_n^3 \times \frac{4\pi}{3}=1.099997474920851 \times 10^{12} \,km^3\)

\(V_c= V_e - V_n = 2.52507914868164 \times 10^6 \, km^3\)

Double the radius, use same V_c (change in volume):

\(V_{2e} = 8 \times V_e =880 \times 10^{10} \, km^3\)

\(V_{n2} = V_{2e}- V_c = 8.79999747492085 \times 10^{12} \, km^3\)

\(r_{n2}= \sqrt[3]{\frac{V_{n2}}{\frac{3}{4\pi}}}=12,807.50830238175 \,km\)

\(d_2= 2 \times r_e - r_{n2} =1.22499917961249 \,m\)

d2 is what an object at rest would travel in 1 second at 2 earth radii.


Newtonian though. Reformulate for change in volume per second^2.

I'll be gone for a bit over a week, although maybe I'll use my friends computer if I check it for trojans, etc. first.
