Electromagnetic Origin of Gravity

I briefly mentioned my speculative gravity theory in my last newsletter. Now I want to explain it in more detail. In essence, this theory claims that gravity is electromagnetic in nature and attempts to drill deeper into the actual origin of gravity beyond Einstein's general relativity equations, which are correct, but which leave gaps in understanding.

The common response to the origin of gravity is that it is caused by spacetime curvature. I do not dispute the role of spacetime in the description of gravity, but rather than say that spacetime curvature causes gravity I claim that spacetime curvature correlates with gravity. Remember, correlation is not necessarily causality. Based on my theory, there is an unseen "dark electromagnetic field" that causes the gravity force that we feel, and this also correlates with spacetime curvature.

The premise of the theory is that dark matter interacts with normal matter to produce the gravity that we associate with normal matter. This is not so far-fetched if you consider the following:

1. Scientists have determined that clouds of dark matter exist in the universe (separate from normal matter) and exerts a gravitational force on normal matter.

2. The radiation emitted by dark matter is undetectable by our instruments.

3. The source of gravity has never been detected by our instruments.

Based on these three points, it is then possible that dark matter is the source of the gravity produced by normal matter, by way of electric and magnetic waves that are undetectable by our instruments. In other words, dark matter may be the universal source of gravity, creating gravity by way of emitting electromagnetic waves and radiation that do not interact directly with normal matter except to produce the gravity force, and are otherwise invisible to our detectors.

General relativity says that mass and energy go on the right-hand side of the Einstein equation for gravity (called the stress-energy tensor) and the left side of the equation describes spacetime curvature. In my theory, the right side of the equation remains mathematically equal but the terms come from a dark electromagnetic field instead of the usual mass and energy terms.

After developing the basic theory, I then used AI to develop it further, correcting it along the way, and getting it to rework key areas that had problems. Overall, the end result is pretty good I think. But some areas still need work, as well as needing actual experimental results to prove the bold claims.

The core ideas of the theory are:

• Gravity is electromagnetic in nature, arising from a hidden "dark" electromagnetic sector.

• The gravity that we feel is the time-average of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, which results in a constant (gravity) force that is felt (as expected). The oscillating components of the gravity force are not noticed by us because of their very high frequency.

• Gravity is the net result of two opposing forces: one attractive and one repulsive. Both are electromagnetic Lorentz-type forces whose electric and magnetic fields are invisible to us because they originate from dark matter. The attractive force is slightly stronger than the repulsive force, resulting in the (net) gravity that we feel.

• Gravity is a Heat Engine: The theory proposes a thermodynamic duality. The natural state of gravity (objects falling) is like a heat engine running forwards, but an "antigravity" effect achieved in the lab (by applying "special" resonant frequencies) is like running that engine in reverse, acting as a kind of heat pump. But this process is not for "free" however; there is an energy cost, in which heat is absorbed from the body experiencing antigravity, and a byproduct of that is an antigravity force, proportional to the amount of cooling. By analogy, this process is somewhat similar to how thermoacoustic engines work.

• Distinct Thermal Signature: A key experimental prediction is that a genuine antigravity effect will be accompanied by a tiny, cooling of the test specimen at any of the many "special" frequencies (there are likely many thousands of them). This cooling is a direct signature of energy being extracted from the material's thermal energy to partially counteract gravity.

Lab experiment:

• This is the biggest highlight. Based on this theory you can manipulate the dark electromagnetic forces in a lab by vibrating an object at certain special frequencies.

• Hitting one of the "special" resonant frequencies would result in an extremely tiny weight change measured in either micrograms or nanograms for, say, a 100 gram test sample. According to the theory you would simultaneously cause a tiny, simultaneous cooling of the material at the same time.

• You need very sensitive equipment to test for the tiny weight change along with the simultaneous cooling which is in the thousandths of a degree range. It's doubtful anyone could do this using DIY.

• A real antigravity device operating on Earth must be able to detect in real-time the special electromagnetic frequencies at its specific location on Earth (which can vary between locations), and then counter these frequencies in such a way to produce an antigravity effect, which can maybe even be manipulated to cause a sideways, and not just a vertical force.
