Gravity Has Two ComponentsWhen you consider the massive stones weighing many tons that were moved into place in ancient structures, and the legends describing the use of sound to levitate heavy stones, it seems that antigravity must have been used. The idea that only human muscle power and mechanical levers and ramps was used to move these massive stones falls short in my view, and fails to acknowledge the possibility that advanced technology was used instead. Let's run with this idea and see what the implications are. Einstein's theory of General Relativity states that gravity is the sole result of spacetime curvature. But if antigravity is real and was used to move and levitate heavy stones, then the theory falls short. There must be additional factors at work that create gravity and which produce spacetime curvature as a byproduct. A two-component theory of gravity makes more sense in this regard, where gravity is made up of an attractive and repulsive force which sum together to produce a (net) attraction force which we know as gravity. By tweaking one or both of these force components you can produce a net repulsive force (antigravity). Indeed, doing this would require a certain amount of energy. But if instead you were to assume that gravity is the sole result of spacetime curvature, which is what mainstream scientists generally believe, then the only way to produce antigravity would be by shaping spacetime, which would require many billions of times more energy than tweaking the two force components of gravity. So from an energy standpoint and to keep the energy requirements at a reasonable level, gravity must consist of an attraction and repulsive force, and the movement of heavy ancient stones was accomplished not with muscle power or manipulating spacetime using immense energy (to create antigravity), but rather by a low energy manipulation of electromagnetic forces to create antigravity using "special" frequencies. I talk about this in detail in my gravity theory (https://www.real-world-physics-problems.com/theory-of-gravity.html). At its core, this two-component theory of gravity posits that gravity is not a monolithic, purely attractive force as described by Newton, nor an immutable curvature of spacetime as per Einstein, but rather a composite phenomenon. Imagine gravity as the sum of two more fundamental vector fields: a pervasive attractive component and a complementary repulsive component. Under normal circumstances, these components are locked in a specific balance, resulting in the net attractive force we experience. This theory's primary advantage is energy efficiency. In General Relativity, creating a repulsive gravitational effect (antigravity) within a region of space would require inverting the local curvature of spacetime. This is theorized to be possible only with exotic matter possessing negative energy density—a substance that remains entirely hypothetical and may violate fundamental physical laws. Plus, the energy required for such "spacetime engineering" would be astronomical, likely on planetary or stellar scales. In contrast, a two-component gravity model suggests a far more elegant and economical mechanism. If gravity is the net result of two interacting fields, then "antigravity" is not about inverting spacetime itself, but merely about "recalibrating" the existing components. The goal would be to selectively dampen the attractive component or amplify the repulsive one within a localized field, thereby shifting the net force from attraction to neutral buoyancy or even repulsion. Since you are not fighting the entire fabric of spacetime but merely adjusting an existing parameter, the energy requirement would be many orders of magnitude lower. This makes the technology conceptually feasible for an advanced civilization. Crucially, this theory does not discard General Relativity; it simply posits that General Relativity describes the macroscopic, net effect of these underlying components. The act of "tweaking" the components would, as a consequence, alter the local spacetime curvature, but the manipulation of the components is the more direct and efficient control mechanism. The theory finds its most compelling, albeit circumstantial, evidence in two intertwined areas: archaeological anomalies and mythological accounts. 1. The Megalithic Enigma: Structures like the trilithons of Baalbek in Lebanon or the precision-fitting polygonal walls of Sacsayhuamán in Peru feature stones weighing hundreds of tons, moved and placed with a precision that challenges conventional explanations of primitive ramps and ropes. The logistical feats are staggering. A two-component gravity theory provides an elegant solution: if ancient builders possessed a technology to locally nullify gravity, the immense mass of these stones becomes irrelevant. Transporting a 1,000-ton block would require no more effort than moving a lightweight object, needing only guidance and stabilization. This directly addresses the core logistical problem of ancient mega-engineering. 2. The Legends of Acoustic Levitation: Numerous traditions, from the accounts of the pyramids to the stories told by Tibetan and Andean monks, describe the use of sound, chanting, or specific vibrations to make stones lose their weight and float into place. Within the two-component model, this is not mere fantasy but a potential technological description. If the fundamental components of gravity exist as fields that can be influenced by resonant energy, then precisely tuned acoustic frequencies could be the "key" to unlock their balance. Sound, as a coherent, organized vibrational energy, could be used to create a standing wave or resonant field that interferes with the attractive component of gravity, effectively "canceling" it out for the object placed within that field. The legends, therefore, are not describing magic, but the user interface of a sophisticated gravitational technology. This two-component gravity theory logically follows from the premise that antigravity is real based on ancient archaeological evidence and more recently on the UFO phenomenon which is revealing itself more and more to be undeniable and true. This suggests that one of the greatest mysteries might be a clue to a different path of understanding the universe — one where gravity is not a chainsaw to be wrestled with, but rather a tuning fork to be played. https://www.real-world-physics-problems.com https://www.patreon.com/freeyourphysics |
