Is Einstein finally wrong? Far-off galaxies are tugging each other more tightly than Einstein's gravity theory predicts, suggests an analysis of light from distant stars.
Now available in an online physics paper archive, the analysis by Cornell
cosmologist Rachel Bean looks at how galaxies attract one another roughly one billion light-years away. Einstein's theory of gravity, General Relativity, suggests that gravity should attract light just as strongly as it attract other matter, but the Hubble Space Telescope’s "COSMOS survey" data suggest gravity attracts light less than it does stars in the survey data.
"These results are a preliminary step in using current cosmological data to test gravity on very large scales," says Bean. "We need to look at more slices of time, more data, to see if this is real."
"I can certainly say that 'if' the analysis and data are both on a solid footing, than this certainly is an important, and newsworthy, result," says Caltech physicist Sean Carroll, who reported the analysis on his Cosmic Variance blog. "The straightforward interpretation of the result is that something is wrong with General Relativity - space is not getting curved as much as time is." The analysis statistically finds only a 2% chance of its gravitational anomaly being wrong, but Bean cautions that, "more work needs to be done to see if this is real."
Light bending less than galaxies under gravity's pull would offer a first real hint about the mysterious "dark energy" pulling galaxies apart at an accelerating rate, say both Bean and Carroll. First observed in 1998 measures of exploding stars, dark energy continues to confuse cosmologists, who expected to find gravity only pulling galaxies towards one another, not apart at an increasing rate. "Of course, there are all kinds of crazy theories out there about Einstein wrong about this or that," Carroll says. "But we really need to test his predictions against real data, just like (Bean's analysis), to find out his theory's limits."

Thanks for the nice article on Einsteinian relativity and the effects of gravity fields on light. This process has some definitions in picoyoctoscale 3D function imaging which reveals several physics factors at work. That all relies on the atomic topological function with wave photon modeling.
ReplyDeleteRecent advancements in quantum science have produced the picoyoctometric, 3D, interactive video atomic model imaging function, in terms of chronons and spacons for exact, quantized, relativistic animation. This format returns clear numerical data for a full spectrum of variables. The atom's RQT (relative quantum topological) data point imaging function is built by combination of the relativistic Einstein-Lorenz transform functions for time, mass, and energy with the workon quantized electromagnetic wave equations for frequency and wavelength.
The atom labeled psi (Z) pulsates at the frequency {Nhu=e/h} by cycles of {e=m(c^2)} transformation of nuclear surface mass to forcons with joule values, followed by nuclear force absorption. This radiation process is limited only by spacetime boundaries of {Gravity-Time}, where gravity is the force binding space to psi, forming the GT integral atomic wavefunction. The expression is defined as the series expansion differential of nuclear output rates with quantum symmetry numbers assigned along the progression to give topology to the solutions.
Next, the correlation function for the manifold of internal heat capacity energy particle 3D functions is extracted by rearranging the total internal momentum function to the photon gain rule and integrating it for GT limits. This produces a series of 26 topological waveparticle functions of the five classes; {+Positron, Workon, Thermon, -Electromagneton, Magnemedon}, each the 3D data image of a type of energy intermedon of the 5/2 kT J internal energy cloud, accounting for all of them.
Those 26 energy data values intersect the sizes of the fundamental physical constants: h, h-bar, delta, nuclear magneton, beta magneton, k (series). They quantize atomic dynamics by acting as fulcrum particles. The result is the picoyoctometric, 3D, interactive video atomic model data point imaging function, responsive to keyboard input of virtual photon gain events by relativistic, quantized shifts of electron, force, and energy field states and positions.
Images of the h-bar magnetic energy waveparticle of ~175 picoyoctometers are available online at http://www.symmecon.com with the complete RQT atomic modeling manual titled The Crystalon Door, copyright TXu1-266-788. TCD conforms to the unopposed motion of disclosure in U.S. District (NM) Court of 04/02/2001 titled The Solution to the Equation of Schrodinger.
Very interesting. Check also the my post on possible Einstein relativity deviations maybe you could find it interesting.

AMAZING !!
Hello Zeeper, thanks for your contribution. I read your link and I found the idea of your theory very interesting. In this regard you have not written a scientific paper with predictions of your theory that can somehow be detected experimentally?
ReplyDeleteAnyway I did not understand how gravity emerges from your theory. I think to have understood that you suggest that gravity is due to the expansion of matter, but then how do you explain the weight of objects? Why if I am holding a massive object such tends to go down? Tell me tell me I am very interested in your ideas.
Bye
Radhasoami Faith View of Modus Operandi of Creation of Universe
ReplyDeletePart – I
There is cosmological evidence for God and the Universe existed before Big Bang please. Stephen Hawking writes in The Grand Design, “It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper and set the Universe going.” Hawking said the Big Bang was merely the consequence of the law of gravity. In A Brief History of Time, Hawking had suggested that the idea of God or a divine being was not necessarily incompatible with a scientific understanding of the Universe.
Although Hawking is very close to Truth yet he is not perfect in his views while discarding the role of divine being. I consider the role of eternal gravity uppermost but I strongly differ with Hawking on the role of divine being. I consider Divine Ordainment is the cause of Creation of Universe.
Now I give Radhasoami Faith view of Creation Theory. In Sar Bachan (Poetry) composed by His Holiness Soamiji Maharaj the August Founder of Radhasoami Faith the details of creation and dissolution has been described very scientifically. It is written in Jeth Mahina (name of Hindi moth) in this Holy Book: Only He Himself (Supreme Father)and none else was there. There issued forth a great current of spirituality, love and grace (In scientific terminology we may call this current as gravitational wave). This is called His Mauj (Divine Ordainment). This was the first manifestation of Supreme Being. This Divine Ordainment brought into being three regions, viz., Agam, Alakh, and Satnam of eternal bliss. Then a current emerged with a powerful sound (this was the first Big Bang). It brought forth the creation of seven Surats or currents of various shades and colours (in scientific terminology we may call it electromagnetic waves). Here the true Jaman or coagulant was given (in scientific terminology this coagulant may be called as weak nuclear force and strong nuclear force). Surats, among themselves, brought the creation into being. These currents descended down further and brought the whole universe/multi verse into being i.e. black holes, galaxies etc. were born.
I would like to add further that sound energy and gravitational force current are non polar entity and electromagnetic force is bi-polar. Hence spiritual polarization, if occurred, is occurred in the region of Sat Lok and region below to it only. Infinite expanse of gravitational force field is the region of dark energy.
In Bible it is written that in the beginning was the Word; the Word was with God; and the Word was God.
According to Radhasoami Faith “Shabd (Word) is the beginning and end of all. The three loks (worlds) and the fourth Lok, all have been created by Shabd.” (Sar Bachan Poetry)
Part-II
ReplyDeleteHere the true Jaman (coagulant) was given. The spirituality coagulated as it were, and Surats (spirit entities), among themselves, brought the creation into being. Thereafter, another Jaman (coagulant) was given. Regions from Agam Lok (Inaccessible Region) to Sat Lok (True Region) were created during the first creational process. That creation is true. That region is eternal. There is no trace of evil and suffering. This was the creation for many Yugas and ages. Then there appeared a dark coloured current That current appeared like a dark coloured stone set in a white one and was absorbed in the Darshan of True Being. Then there appeared two Kalas i.e. currents (viz. Niranjan and Jyoti) and they together evolved the creation of five Tattwas (elements) four Khans (species, categories of life) and three Gunas (qualities). The three Gunas (qualities) brought about the expansion and proliferation . They created Rishis and Munis (sages and holy men), gods and godly human beings and demons. Egotism then increased much. Niranjan separated himself from the rest, putting the burden of looking after the creation on them. Nobody could know of Niranjan. Even the Vedas referred to Him as Neti Neti (Not this, Not this). They did not get Darshan (Vision) of Niranjan. They made conjectures. Then how can anybody have knowledge of Sat Purush (True Being), Source of Niranjan and all that exists.
Scientifically here Jyoti represent three Fundamental Forces of Quantum Mechanics i.e. electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force and strong nuclear force. NIRANJAN is the fourth Fundamental Force i.e. Gravitation Force. Scientific explanation follows in support of my views.
Part-III
ReplyDeleteEinstein struggled and failed to formulate this theory, but it has already been shown that at high enough energies electromagnetism and the weak force are the same force known as the electroweak force. It is theorized that if energies are increased even further and neutrinos acquire mass, which has now been fully documented, all the known forces will reduce to the same force thus providing the basis for the Grand Unified Theory. This high energy level existed only during the very early expansion of the Universe known as the Planck Epoch which existed up to 10 to the negative 43rd seconds after the Big Bang where the four fundamental forces – electromagnetism, weak nuclear force, strong nuclear force and gravitation – all had the same strength. After that point the energy level decreased and gravity separated from the other 3 fundamental forces and with condensation of elementary particles (quarks, leptons, and gauge bosons) into matter formed the so-called Standard Model of today’s Universe.

It is well known that nothing or very little is known about gravitational force till today. It is a mysterious force.
