GRAVITY REPRESENTATION
New gravity theorems
The following four new theorems may be controversial, but I love a good debate.- If gravity is a pulling force, then a gravitational object will not push a dent into its environment, it will rather warp the environment by pulling the fabric towards itself.
- The fabric of space itself is made up of gravitational matter, from planets and rocks to gravel and subatomic particles. Therefore the gravitational pull between a large object and the matter surrounding it, is mutual.
- The graphical representation of a gravitational pit (trough), deepening as the mass of the gravitational object is larger, is only partly correct.
- Wormholes do not exist.
Elaboration of theorem 1
In videos as well as images contained in documents, the
‘fabric of space’ is drawn as a sheet, represented by a grid of lines. The spot
in the grid where a gravitational object sits is represented by a dent, on top
of which the object is shown. See Figure 1.
Figure 1 Gravity dents the fabric of space.
Why do scientific sources represent it this way? In my
opinion it is incorrect.
To visualize the warping of space, there is an experiment
executed with a spandex sheet which asks to be criticized.
Figure 2 Spandex sheet visualization.
Let alone that the objects used to represent planets
or stars are being pulled into the sheet by the actual gravity of Earth, and
the sheet is stretched on a round construct, which enables smooth, round dents,
the representation misguides the students present at the experiment, because a
planet or star does NOT press the fabric of spacetime away from its center, but
pulls the fabric towards that center of gravity.
Would the spandex sheet have been square and the
construct to which it is attached were als square, the may have been various
more sorts of tension on the sheet from the outer edge, which would result in a
bumpy trajectory for the smaller object orbiting the larger object.
As space is three-dimensional, there is not just ONE
sheet or layer of space fabric, that gets warped. Space consists of a continuum
of such layers, and with reference to a gravitational object, there would be
layers ‘above’ and ‘under’, to ‘the left of’ and to ‘the right of’ and ‘in
front of’ and ‘at the back of’ that object. But actually, there would not be
any of such determinations, as one cannot know what is the front, back, top,
bottom, left or right of that object.
The representation of space as a stage on which Newton
envisaged the events taking place should at least be a three-dimensional
grid, as in Brian Greene’s documentary ‘What is Space’ (at 10’49”). See Figure 3.
Figure 3 The
three-dimensional 'stage' that space is.
In this representation we assume the three dimensions
being neatly ordered in a grid, lying horizontally and vertically. That does
not necessarily have to be so for space does not behave in an orderly arranged 3D
grid, but it works best to explain the failure of the dented fabric. But for
the sake of explanation, I will use this 3D grid idea here as well.
The fabric, as stated earlier, is gravitationally
attracted by a gravitational object, just because this fabric itself is made up
of gavitational matter.
Therefore, one would have to assume that the gridlines
of that fabric are warped TOWARDS the object and even, relative to a gridline’s
proximity to the center of gravity, INTO the object (see Figure 4), rather than warped around it and away from it (see Figure 5).
Figure 4 Towards and into.
Figure 5 Around and away.
In the next two figures the fabric is attracted
by the spherical object. Due to the imperfection of my graphic tool, I could
not produce better pictures, but where the grid touches the object, it is meant to be invisible, as it is
in fact sucked into the object.

Figure 7 Fabric of
space 'under' a gravitational object.

Figure 8 Layers of space fabric over and under the object. |
Again, the layers are everywhere, horizontal and
vertical, sloping inclined or declined, and the concept of ‘above’ or
‘beneath’ is relative.
The representation used in the documentary ‘Inside Einstein’s Mind’ (2015) around 24’30” onwards shows a ‘block’ of space with an object
inside, that contracts the fabric surrounding it. That is how in the future I
would love to see official scientific representations of the phenomenon.

Now
please go and watch the video ‘How gravity
really works’, which also contains this image.
Elaboration of theorem 2
Gravitational effects of an object increases as its mass
increases and as the distance to another object decreases.
Earth’s gravitational field is filled up with – among
many other materials- iron, all sorts of minerals, silicon, water, carbon and a
variety of gases. The more massive the matter, the closer it ‘sank’ to the
center of gravity; the less massive, the higher up and away from Earth’s core
it sits. Then, outside of Earth’s atmosphere, there is still matter, perhaps
not in layers, but in almost invisible strands of gases, gravel and particles.
There is a mutual gravitational pull between Earth and
its surrounding matter, and whether the matter gets ‘reeled in’, depends on its
momentum. If we could visualize this matter, arranged in layers, clouds or
strands, that visualization could replace the representation of the ‘fabric’ of
space in perpendicularly arranged gridlines.
My personal virtual visualization resembles the strands
of matter in supercomputer simulations of the universe; see Figure 10.
Figure 10 Strands of matter in space.
In fact, Figure 10 is a supercomputer simulation of filaments of gases
heating up under influence of gravity. Gravity managed to pull together
quantities of dark matter into filaments and the less dense the matter is, the
more it can be considered a gas.
As these filaments or strands continue throughout
space, any distance is bridged and gravity is always transmitted.
Elaboration of theorem 3
In many representations about gravity, the pit made by
an object like Earth is like a dent, half as deep as Earth and perhaps twice as
wide. As the mass ob the objest is larger, de dent will be deeper, represented
by for example a black sphere (i.e. a black hole) in a deep pit, which the
heavy object has made like a heavy strong fish would do with a fishing net it
would try to swim through.
With respect to the previous theorems, that pit is
also pulled from under the ‘sheet’ rather than the heavy object sitting
on top of it, pushing it downwards.
Under and down however (like over and up), still remain false terms, because no-one can
tell what the top and bottom of space are.
A more comprehensible representation would be, that
multiple layers of space fabric are pulled toward the object and for its
mass, the pulled pits are deeper and so layers further away show being
influenced by the gravitational pull.

multidimensional pull by gravity.
Elaboration of theorem 4
As the previous theorems show, the pit created by an
object’s gravity is finite. It is limited by the gravitational object and
therefore the pit will not be some sort of a hollow tube that allows anything
or anyone to travel through.
Because the pit does not dent into the object from
e.g. six threedimensional sides, but from anywhere simultaneously, there is but
one direction that space warps toward the object: the object itself.
Conclusion
Scientifically, I think that all representations in 2D
images (including 3D images projected on 2D screens) of a plane that gets
dented by an object that is depicted ‘on top’ of it (like in Figure 1), should be rejected as incorrect.
Your comments
Did you struggle with gravity
representations? Have you wondered why they do not match to your understanding
of the universe? Should experts elaborate on the how and why of present
representations or should they initiate correcting all the wrong pictures?
Please, do not hesitate to leave your
comments; if in my humble opinion they are worth publishing, I will do so. And
of course, I very much appreciate if experts on these subjects submit their
views. Would you then please add your own brief ‘about me’?
