So far, our understanding of gravity has been quite  superficial and incoherent. This may have led to some false conclusions about our natural universe and some properties of gravity these conclusions may imply.

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 expansion of the Universe.  

 

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

 

This theory derives mathematical support from the formula of acceleration due to gravity. What makes this formula very interesting is the proportionality between the ‘amount’ of space and the ‘strength’ of gravity.

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 contracts space. When matter contract space, we can say the "density" decrease, 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 acceleration due to gravity shows. In that sense even a grain of sand can cause bending/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...but it also opens all doors to a much simple and coherent Universe.

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 acceleration due to gravity 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..

Unfortunately, known facts according to how gravity between two objects behave, seems to have 'blinkered' us, so much so that we have thought we already "fully" understood gravity and therefore have failed to consider any other theoretical frameworks.

This new framework proposes that when matter surrounds space, we are faced with an entirely different phenomenon.

 

Matter will contract /stretch space in the direction away from its centre as well as towards its centre.

The above mentioned domino effect will take affect in both of these directions. However, towards the inner direction the the access to space is gradually decreasing, therefore ADG will not gradually decreases but be stable (in a homogeneous) mass..

 

This new interpretation implies both the extent of space "density" and the acceleration due to gravity, as we  gradually approach the inner centre of a gravitational field.
 

This means the result is both a gradually increasing stretched space as well as  stable acceleration due to gravity (ADG) as we approach a inner gravitational field center (in a homogeneously mass).

 

This simple claim could very well shed new light on the understanding of the cause of black holes, dark matter, dark energy and even the cause of gravity. It could solve all the mysteries of how galaxies and stars were created, at a time when gravity (according to the prevailing theory) ‘should’ have been almost zero.

 

But it also means that as one approaches the centre of the earth, acceleration due to gravity will not cancel out component wise as the prevailing theory states.

    

The basic claim of this theory is that matter contracts space. This allows us better to understand how space and matter is connected.  But it also leads to one more consequence; space will move as matter moves.

 

Following this track too can bring new light to the underlying cause of magnetism and flyby-anomalies and much more.

    

This theory also brings new light how the 4 forces can easily be united in a unified field theory.

 

Gravity has always been a mystery…
 With thanks mainly to Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein we have achieved some knowledge, however gravity is still not fully understood. This arises because we don’t fully understand the following:

  • How can we involve a force without disturbing space-time.

  • How can space transfer a force, if gravity really is a force.

  • How the galaxies and solar systems were created.

  • How the astronomic bodies were created.

  • How matter amasses.

  • Whether dark matter and dark energy are connected to gravity.

  • How black holes are created.

  • And much more .

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?

 

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.

 

We know that space can expand so therefore it must also be able to contract. So we have 3 different properties of space:

  • Curvature

  • Expansion

  • Contraction

 

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

 

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

 

In doing so three properties will be united into one simple concept; "a flexible space", which means that space is not quite as mysterious as before.

 

There are several factors that support the idea that such simplicities are relevant. 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 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 contracts space" seems to solve 10 to 12 huge mysteries and is met with little by way of contradiction or opposition. Even further, "Matter contracts space" leads us to a more complete understanding of existing theories.

 

This assumption will quickly lead to the conclusion that our understanding of central gravity has been based in part on a serious misunderstanding;

 


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 it 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; does 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 a force driven by the spin of elementary particles can be responsible for spinning space together until it contracts and curves.

 

So far this sounds pretty simplistic, but it also seems quite possible that Isaac Newton made a big mistake a long time ago that neither Einstein, nor anybody else discovered. This mistake that has prevented us from better understanding central gravity. In the next chapter "Dark Matter" we will uncover what went wrong 300 years ago.

 

This theory can also easily show how to unite the 4 force of nature as well as solve several  mysteries. .
