The theory which follows in this text stems from the idea that the notion of space curvature is better understood as "stretched space", and that it is the exact same property responsible for the (so-called) expansion of the Universe.  

 

This paradigm shift leads us to several remarkable consequences. The most significant of which will follow.

 

Each time the radius of a circle doubles, the area quadruples. Since, in this case, the circles share a common centre, the space the larger circle occupies, that the smaller circle does not, accounts for 75% of the larger circle’s area. At the same time the force of acceleration due to gravity (ADG) always decreases by 75%.

     

This result is not a coincidence, but rather expresses a previously unknown relation between space and gravity.

This relation seems to convincingly support the claim that matter absorbs "space-density". When matter absorbs space, we can say the "density" of space near matter decreases, and hence space stretches towards a body. When space stretch towards a body it spreads in a domino-like effect across the whole universe.

 

This seems to be exactly the proportionality that the formula of ADG shows. In that sense even a grain of sand can cause curvature / stretching of the whole universe.

 

This is not merely a matter of diction or semantics, but rather a new found understanding of gravitation. We can now understand what; the curvature of space" space really is. This opens all doors to a much simple and coherent Universe without the big big mysteries we have today.

 

One benefit our new found understanding is that it leads us to a clearer understanding of the cause of gravity. When matter contracts space, the space between objects becomes increasingly deformed "thinner", and hence space between the bodies will be 'lacking'.  - Can it really be that simple?

  

When 2 objects approach each other the acceleration due to gravity (ADG) between the two objects decreases while the stretch of space in that central region increases.

Decreased ADG does not mean decreased force of gravity - but only that two gravitational fields are into a unification process and that the two connected gravity properties are changing.

The cause of ADG is simply the relative change in "density" of space per unit distance. The above mentioned point of view is new but not that strange or different from the prevailing understanding..
 

A new expression of gravity, "Space Curves" was introduced 100 years ago and has since been a famous and usable expression, specially for a pure geometric / mathematical understanding.
 

The main problem is that we don't know much about what space really is.
 

Our immediate impression is that space is nothing. How can 'nothing' curve?  And how can the understanding of "curvature of space be united with a Newtonian understanding, where force is responsible for mass attraction ?.

 

To reach a deeper understanding of gravity, it is obvious that first of all we need to better understand how space plays a role in the gravity phenomena and if a force is really passing through it.

 

We don’t have many options when it comes to better understanding space. The expression 'curvature of space' has not been able to take our understanding further in the last 100 years. Either have the idea that space expands.

  • Curvature of space

  • Expanding Space.

 

We simply don't know what 'curved space' really is. It seems improbable that space really would have two completely different and independent deforming properties.

 

This article will show what happens when we equate these apparently different properties.

 

In doing so the  properties will be united into one simple concept; "a flexible space", which means that space is not quite as mysterious as before, and that general relativity is enough fully to understand the full nature of space and gravity.

 

There are several factors that support the idea that such simplicities are relevant and necessary. We will look deeper into these factors.
 

What has changed is so far only an expression. In our introduction we have made the basic assumption that; "curved space"  is in reality "stretched space" and hence the exactly the same property responsible for the (so-called) dark matter / expanding Universe. 

 

Assuming this will give us an interesting main thread. This article will try to follow this main thread to see where it brings us.

 

Even if the expression: "Stretching Space" seems to be close to the well-known: "Curvature of Space", this article will show that such simple changes are merely in expression. In reality this theory opens, not some, but all the doors to fully understanding the cause of gravity and more.

 

Well, this “immediately” sounds too good to be true. But think about attempting to solve one mystery. Most likely some of your findings will contradict other information. That "Matter absorbs space" seems to solve several huge mysteries and is met with little by way of contradiction or opposition. Even further, "Matter absorbs space" leads us to a more complete understanding of existing theories.

 

When we draw a comparison between Einstein’s and Newton’s claim; there need not be any disagreement between the discoveries of these two great thinkers. The claim of Isaac Newton that ‘there is a force of attraction between bodies’ could just as well be the force which is responsible for the curving of space.

 

The curvature of space leads us to think that there may be some link between matter and space. Put simply, this is because space curves are proportional to the amount of matter in a gravitational field. Even though we cannot see space its nature must somehow be linked or connected to matter.

 

We also know that space (and energy) somehow created matter. Either space and matter were divided after the creation of matter or; there always has been a connection between space and matter, and space and matter have a continuous, exchangeable co-existence with each other.

 

The main thread of this article is; space 'stretch' and hence have the exactly same meaning as space 'curves'. In looking into this it leads us to ask questions about gravity. The currently accepted understanding of what space is, is suitable purely for mathematical/geometric purposes. The new stretch-expression is more suitable for our mind.

 

A large part of this theory doesn't need to be proven as it follows from the work of Albert Einstein and Sir Isaac Newton.
It is essential we understand that ‘space curves’, ‘space deforms’, and ‘space time’ are all expressions of the same phenomena. Nothing should stop us from adding ‘space stretch’.

 

Understanding space in a stretching framework sets us to better understand what happens to space in the presence of matter.
 

The question of how matter causes space to curve, deform, or stretch will remain the same. The chapter 'quantum physics' will give a good suggestion as to how this might be possible. There it will be shown that the force driven by the spin of elementary particles can be responsible for spinning space together and thereby absorbs (and become matter). The lack of space (near matter) is the cause of space curves / stretch towards matter. 

 

This mean Matter = Contracted / Absorbed space, and as a result space around (and inside) a object is lacking. Therefore a gravitational field is a space vacuum, and space is stretching towards matter.

 

Following this simple main thread will make it possible to understand the Universe as a coherent  whole, where big mysteries disappears as was these only moisture under the sun.
