And then there are the other questions such as why does this (spatial medium) drag matter along, why does it drag electromagnetic wave (or photons, if you prefer) along, etc. As discussed so many times, a light ray traversing *any* spaceflow is deflected (or lensed) whether the flow is accelerating or not. Whereas only an *accelerating* flow "drags" matter, imparting momentum to it, causing it to "fall". That is the priimary reason for the 'proximately 'twice-normal' deflection of light crossing a gravity well. Light, being massless, is deflected by the *total* flow, not just by the acceleration component. This is a mini-example of *flow lensing*. Only the acceleration component constitutes gravity and affects matter. No acceleration= no "curvature of space"= no gravity= no momentum imparted to matter *irrespective of the actual velocity of the flow*. But light is deflected (lensed) by the *total* flow. Cosmological examples of flow lensing are seen in the excessive lensing of distant galaxies, heretofore attributed to "dark matter". But any large scale, non-accelerating flows (or flows of low acceleration) of the intergalactic medium are gonna lens light just as is observed. It is simple flow lensing, not "gravitational" lensing. No mythical "dark matter" needed. ..we are talking about imparting momentum to each and every one of the trillions of atoms in your body, and this by virtue of the fact that the li'l energy packets are on a vertically downward vector, & hitting your body at a speed of 11.2 km/sec at the surface of the Earth (same as the escape velocity). So they pack a pretty good punch. But only the acceleration component "packs the punch". Yes, sinks! Matter acts as a flow sink to the gravitational energy. Not ta be picayunish, but just a bit more specifically, mass is the sink (or pressure drain) to the SCO, the hyperpressure state of the spatial medium venting itself down to its lowest pressure-state. The process of gravitation is quite literally the 'BB-in-reverse' on a universal, visible scale. To view the starry sky is to view this Process.. each star an incandescing 'vent point' of the SCO's venting down. The night sky is witness to the awesome dynamism of space itself. |

So they pack a pretty good punch. But only the acceleration component "packs the punch". Let's dick this around a bit, oc. EM photons do exert a tiny but *measurable* amount of actual and real pressure on matter. And these photons don't have to be being accelerated when they exert this pressure. They can be going at just a straight velocity of "c" when they exert the light pressure, as was deduced by Maxwell and Bertoli, and then proven experimentally by Lebedev in the year 1900... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_pressure So how can we be sure that granulons don't exert a certain amount of pressure on matter even when they are not accelerating, or more specifically, how do we know that some of the pressure and therefore the imparted momentum isn't exerted in some amount by both the acceleration and the velocities of granulons? happy new days and... starry starry nights! -- Indelibly yours, Paine Ellsworth P.S.: "A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other."

Sure, *radiation pressure* against matter is real and does not involve acceleration. Its miniscule force, computed as a photon's energy-to-mass equivalence ("E=mc˛ in reverse") is analogous to wind against a sail, a very, very tiny kinetic force acting against the sail's surface, not *going through* the atomic lattice of the sail. This is a totally different animal than gravitation which is the SPED (not EM photons) accelerating through the atomic lattice itself. So how can we be sure that granulons don't exert a certain amount of pressure on matter even when they are not accelerating..? *In sub-relativistic speed regimes*, no such pressure is detectable in the absence of acceleration. Space remains a perfect superfluid (Maxwell), or 'hyperfluid' (Wolter). Newton's laws of inertia and conservation of momentum hold steadfast within the limits of measurement. ...or more specifically, how do we know that some of the pressure and therefore the imparted momentum isn't exerted in some amount by both the acceleration and the velocities of granulons? With the onset of relativistic speeds, space (the "granulon sea") does begin exhibiting a "viscosity" in the absence of acceleration. Relativistic effects are one of those six Cardinal Points by which the SPED demonstrates its own existance. |
