What is the Action of Gravity on Light Rays?WELCOME to this Gravimotion's Website Page. |
Please forgive, when awkward, the English of this page. English is not the author's native language.
The question should be reworded in three questions as follows:
And here is how gravity affects the frequency of light.In the graph below the blue circle represents a huge heavy quasar, which emits from its surface light rays at relatively high frequency F1, blue in color.In that graph the gravity field, or Einstein's space-time curvature surrounding the quasar, is illustrated with an imaginary, yet now familiar to all, grid of stretched lines. Next we choose the distance Dqe between the emitter of the blue light and the observer on Earth to be constant. In other words there is no relative motion between the quasar and Earth that would modify the frequency F1. In this situation the space-time-curvature (or gravity) surrounding the quasar shifts the frequency F1 toward the red as explained in the next section. Note that the frequency shift due to Earth's own gravity is not taken in consideration as being negligible with respect to that of the quasar. Also should light of red frequency be emitted on Earth an observer on the quasar would see a blue frequency shift! As such this frequency shift is also specifically labeled as either gravitational redshift or gravitational blueshift. And here is why gravity shifts frequency.
The implications of such an interpretation are far reachingA still gravity field producing a red shift as illustrated above, puts into question the alleged expansion of the universe!And the dark energy necessary for that expansion is in jeopardy along with it. And in question along with the alleged expansion of the universe is evidently the concept of big bangClick / Footnote 3, which goes hand in hand with it. While at it, note that supposing there were nothing, as suggested, before the big bang, the big bang theory, in which energy all of a sudden appears from nowhere, would be in direct conflict with the energy conservation law, which instead states that no energy can be either created or lost! WarningThe above interpretation, in which gravity produces a frequency shift in such a way that it puts into question the expansion of the universe is definitely not in line with physics' teachings.Here is why:
By contrast, as you certainly noticed, in this new interpretation of nature that is gravimotion the cause of the observed red shift is not the expansion of the universe but gravity. The possible interpretations of the red frequency shiftYet in reality any of the following phenomenon could cause the observed red frequency shift:
Gravimotion's interpretation is pure eleganceInterpreting the observed frequency shift (discovered by Hubble) as being induced by gravity is pure elegance though.

Footnote 1:
In the theory of relativity the reconciliation comes through the abolishment of absolute time. In gravimotion (in which time does not exist) motion of matter is just as absolute as the motion of light. And because the observation of motion is relative, and not motion per se, Einstein relativity theory remains true. Get full explanation at: Motion is absolute, observation of motion is relative.

Footnote 2:
Einstein in person wrote all about this equivalence! Click and read Einstein's own words; read up to the fourth paragraph included. Note that Einstein, in his thought experiment, identifies accelerated motion to gravitational field, not the other way around. And doing so Einstein implies specifically that gravitational fields only are real and that any resulting "accelerated relative motion" is elusive! As a matter of fact Einstein claimed that a roofer, because he feels no force, is not accelerated while falling of the roof! Yet one sees accelerated motion when an object is in free fall and one doesn't see any gravitational field! As such, elemental observation suggests instead that motion is real and that gravitational fields are a construct of the human mind! As a matter of fact Einstein's chest, which is pulled by a rope, is physically in motion, the alleged and resulting gravitational field ends up being merely a construct within his mental experiment!

Footnote 3:
Physicists themselves are not sure about big bang! Actually they frankly question their own big bang theory, see "Scientific American" April 2011 article: Quantum Gaps in Big Bang Theory. Why our best explanation of how the universe evolved must be fixed-or replaced. Click here to return where you were reading. |
