Gravity Waves

12/12/2023 11:24 AM

I recently read about materials that have a reverse reflective index for light.

It is a specially constructed meta-material that bends light in the opposite direction than a normal lens.

Would it be theoretically possible to build a material that could bend gravity in the opposite direction in essence, anti gravity?

It could possibly be done using a very massive rotating object of the proper shape and mass, rotating at a specific velocity, but that is presently impossible at our current level of technology.

But considering things that were one thought impossible are now taken for granted in everyday life, might it someday be possible to design a small device that would accomplish this?

Oh anything is possible, but to create such a device you would first have to understand the nature of what gravity is and how it works....So what exactly is gravity?

..."Gravity is just geometry, the result of the curvature by massive objects of the space and time around them. The strength of the gravitational “field” at any point in space or time is just the degree to which that coordinate in space-time is invisibly curved. Massive objects fall down these curves towards each other."...

You would need an opposite greater than equal force....I would argue we already have that, we fly anti-gravity rockets everyday...

Now if you want something that would be like in another dimension outside the space-time we are subject to, well that would be quite a trick, but sounds rather dangerous to me....

Maybe some super dense collapsed matter could be created, like exists in a magnetar, and have some way of positioning several of these in a certain geometric pattern that would neutralize the gravitational field, but this seems rather dangerous and difficult as well...

...maybe it's just all about speed, the faster you go the less effect gravity has on you....

We just have to find a way to block the Higgs field, then your craft would have no weight and no inertia. Many UFOs have been seen with this property. Some think the government knows how to do it but is keeping it secret.

The Higgs field gives things mass:

No one knows the cause of gravity. We have to invent a whole new reality to explain it. New physics, new entities and new properties. New forces...........to explain it. Very phony.

Gravity is not fundamental. Gravity comes from an electric dipole. This dipole is very asymmetric. These poles of the dipole are not equal. The poles are equal in amount of charge.......but extremely unequal in density and size.......and spin velocity of the charges.

But we don't know which asymmetric is the cause of gravity. It appears that this asymmetry attracts other asymmetries. UN-equal density, UN-equal size, UN-equal rotation. UN-equal momentum. UN-equal spacial volumes.

If this turns out to be true, then an anti matter dipole should have the opposite effect of gravity. A repelling force.

But, because we don't understand the true cause........ANY asymmetry might cause a attractive effect.

So it is still possible that an anti gravity or reverse gravity might be impossible.

I don't believe that any wave can propagate thru space. It's our misunderstanding of light that has us stumped about gravity. Light is a discrete intermittent strobe. An intermittent saw-toothed ramp. This stimulus "rings" mass......and we measure frequency.

Our narrative about light is all wrong, our dogma is all wrong. Everything is based on this dogma. Light has a constant velocity in reference to itself..........NOT the mass it interacts with. All mass in this cosmos is in perpetual motion. All EM radiation is is perpetual motion.

Our physical reality is a STATE of perpetual motion. And it can not be stopped. Absolute zero does NOT stop motion. The space all around this cosmos is at zero. But the space in this cosmos has a little temp, due to orphan radiation. i.e. electric static.

IMHO:

Using the stretched sheet with mass in the center to explain gravity is a farce.

Using gravity to explain gravity?

I think gravity is a result of space time moving slower through all matter(Remember,matter is mostly space).

Spacetime is deflected like light passing through water is deflected.

The denser the fluid,the more deflection.

Spacetime has a certain density,it is not empty.

Space is composed of an energy field,and when the lines of space time are bent,gravity is produced,same as when magnetic lines are bent by a conductor,and the result is electricity.

The energy field is always in motion in all directions simultaneously.

Your first sentence

(No one knows the cause of gravity)

is sufficient.

The remainder of the paragraph and the eight more that follow, seemingly to suggest the profundity of that specific lack through personal anecdote, is overkill.

Energy and mass are properties of a physical entity. And they are the same property. This property is motion. Energy is any and all motion. Mass is confined motion. That confinement is expressed as inertia. The confinement of that motion, on the fundamental level, can only be confined in certain geometric sizes and spin RPMs.. This is a property of rotational resonance.

Rotational resonance is the only stable resonance there is. And the only valid clock ticker that there is. Oscillation and vibration is the worse possible time ticker one could use. Our present clocks are useless and lead to comic book sci-fi.

Motion can be confined, by a perpendicular acceleration. A c squared acceleration.

E = Mc2. Motion(energy) is confined(mass) by that acceleration. And is converted into inertia. The superposition of the EM field that surrounds the particle, provides this function.

A charge is a rotating helical woven EM field. And only certain weaves are possible.

When you exchange or transfer mass or energy, you are transferring motion.

Perpetual motion.

My understanding is that optical refraction occurs when electrons in a dielectric vibrate in reponse to the electric and magnetic fields of the light wave. The electromagnetic fields of the moving electrons combines with the light fields, the resultant field having a slower propagation and a change of direction if entering the dielectric obliquely.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refraction

https://stsci-opo.org/STScI-01F9MEJ8XZ6W7B6YJQHKWZH2Z4.png

In an analogy to optical refaction, gravitational waves passing through a massive object would cause it to vibrate very, very slightly. A mass changing shape would theoretically generate quadrupole gravitational waves which could add to the original gravitational waves. But both of these effects are extremely small, and coupled together far smaller. (Gravitational force is 10-38 times the strength of the electromagnet force).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_wave

I'm thinking that the only gravitational wave refraction would be due to the gravitational fields of massive objects, bending spacetime and gravitationally lensing the gravitational waves as they do light waves.

IMHO<

Spacetime behaves similarly to a fluid.

It has viscosity and cohesion.

Frame dragging illustrates this.

Spacetime lines of force can be stretched,compressed,bent ,but not normally broken in our dimension.It is a "membrane" that confines and defines our dimensional boundaries and our physics.

If they are broken,like perhaps at the "bottom"(which really does not exist in the common definition of the word) of a super-massive black hole, whatever enters this region will escape our current spacetime dimension and enter another one with different rules in physics.

Here is a good description and explanation of negative index of refraction meta-materials and devices.

Reminds me of the story of the worker at the patent office in the 1800's that quit his job because he said that everything that could be invented had already been invented and there was no future at the patent office.

However,our brains are shrinking compared to stone age men...

It was a happier time for physicists. Then came Relativity and Quantum Mechanics, and now physicists know "what it does" but not "how it works".

It's like teenagers that believe they know everything until they find out they don't.

The following video with Eric Weinstein and Hal Puthoff talks about antigravity and several other interesting things:
