    Hi Dr. Ben Miles, Not only mass generates gravity, also positive charge does and beyond what is predicted by mainstream physics. See "Electro-gravity via geometric chronon field and on the origin of mass" in ResearchGate . This version is much more correct than the peer reviewed 2017 one. Electrons do the opposite. This however, cannot be used to generate a Hermann Bondi inertial/gravitational dipole in high voltage capacitors because of anti-alignment of induced dipoles in the dielectric layer. There should be a dynamic solution though. Notice that the acceleration field can look like a Tzvi Scarr - Yaakov Friedman acceleration matrix and it covers two perpendicular 2 dimensional acceleration planes. If the 4x4 matrix is B then B v/c = a/c^2 where v is a normalized velocity, c is the speed of light and B(i,j)=-B(j,i) and 'a' is 4-acceleration. Near drains and sources and with complex formalism, the model is a competitor to spinor theory. B is anti-symmetric and is a rotation differential although it can also represent boosts. In general, the acceleration field is the description of the energy of the electric field. With 1,2,3 generalizations of the Reeb fields as accelerations in even dimensions (unlike the nowadays restriction to contact manifolds, the original formulation by Georges Reeb was more general), these fields have symmetries U(1), SU(2), SU(3) and in the more general case SU(4), however SU(4) does not use a Robert Geroch time function. In the other cases, the information on material fields is stored in the geometry of spacetime foliations so-to-speak. Also, the foliations, see action in (64), offer a decomposition of an observer spacetime manifold without using Wheeler DeWitt decomposition and without using Ashtekar variables. The action in (64) does not require the orthogonal formalism of spinors. Kind regards, Eytan Suchard.

    It's not gravity, it's magnetism holding things together. Or more accurately it's a combination of both. The gravity causes the orbits but the magnetism causes the accelerated speeds and holds things together against centrifugal forces. Black holes rotate and generate huge magnetic fields that extend beyond the galaxies they inhabit, affecting every star in them.

    Seriously, why has no one figured out that we already know enough about black holes, gravity, magnetic fields, fusion limits, electrical power generation, and we have observational data. Why is it that we assume that some laws of the universe aren't applying to black holes or on a galactic or universal scale. We already know that every object in the universe exerts gravitational forces on every other object in the universe. It's just that the bigger thing, that's closer, will be the one you notice being interacted with. We never knew our solar system was orbiting the core of the galaxy until we did and before that we didn't even know we orbited the sun. But we can be orbiting many things at the same time and not even know it. Our galaxy is orbiting something, and that thing is orbiting something else. It might just be the center of gravity for a bunch of things, that are orbiting each other. The sun generates a magnetic field larger than the sun, the lines of magnetism extend out into space way way further. Imagine what a black hole is generating, considering it could have millions or billions of times the mass of the sun and considering that the more a black hole feeds the faster it rotates. Knowing that fusion stops at iron unless you can add energy to the system, in a black hole the explosive fission reaction is squelched by the gravity. So it's my theory that whatever makes up the singularity is, it has to be a ferrous metal. Galaxies function as giant generators, spewing electromagnetic energy out of the black hole in many ways that we can observe depending on the galaxy and it's composition. To me it seems kinda obvious, I don't know why nobody else sees it.

    Interestingly, Newton's formula for gravity works within the heliosphere, but where that formula breaks is outside the heliosphere. There was an alternate theory in cosmology called the Electric Universe theory, also known as Plasma Cosmology, which was very popular until its main proponent had some personal squabble with a higher-up at their university. Then the theory was considered taboo and the gravity-only theory took over. The idea was that plasma fields could also be involved in holding galaxies together. Since the realm in which Newton's formula breaks is outside the heliosphere, it would make sense that gravity perfectly explains the orbits of planets, but doesn't fully explain the interactions between star systems. So it may be that gravity isn't broken, but there's another force involved at that scale - without having to invent ghost matter! After all, we know that there's tremendous energy in deep space. If there were such a force holding star systems together, would that exert some force on the heliosphere boundary? Could that boundary pressure then exert a force upon the sun, similar to the pressure which the ground effect exerts on very low-flying objects? If so, could we detect this as either extra pressure within the solar wind on one side of the sun, or deviations in the bow shock?

    We are thinking too 3 dimensionally. Dark matter could be normal matter that is hidden in higher spacial dimensions, relative to an observer. This would rectify the conundrum of missing mass & the spinning of the rim of galaxies being too fast. It also explains entanglement; entangled particles can use higher dimensions to stay connected. They're only at a distance from each other in the 1st three dimensions but are connected using higher spacial dimensional portals. Have you heard of the TARDIS?

MOND is a model of dynamic body when reference is acceleration is very very low. Einstein based model is zero weight I.e weight lessness . Key to equivalence. GR is molded on Newton's postulates. Can data mechanics isolate universal effects. Will Higgs field show up with variable constant. Thank you.

    Is an inverse linear law of gravitation consistent with results of the Cavendish experiment? I had assumed those were sufficiently precise to eliminate any possibility other than an inverse square law. Could it be that the range of gravitational forces measured in Cavendish experiments are too small or too large for the difference between inverse linear and inverse square laws to be apparent?

    The world is arguably causal. Nothing exists as a disconnected topic or industry. Neither science or science journalism are unaffected by science or science journalism in the same way you cannot separate melting glaciers and Brazilian forest fires from climate change in other parts of the world. The trouble is not with the fact that these things affect each other but with our thinking processes, our biases, and our expectations. We cannot continue to behave as if the world is compartmentalized. You could easily make the case that if not for Daniel Ellsberg whistleblowing and revealing the Pentagon Papers and 30 years of coverup and Woodward and Bernstein not helping to reveal the Watergate scandal and how far up it went, democracy in the U.S. would arguably not be democracy anymore. Everything is connected and there is nothing that does not affect everything else, no matter how slight.

    The issue I have with DM is if it is real then its distribution should be even because if it uneven and causes lensing it would become impossible to determine how many DM fields a ray of light has traversed thereby making all astronomical distance calculations non determinable. Because to determine the calculated distance would require knowing every single DM field that the light from a distant object travelled through and for each DM field calculating the effect on the travelled light. So Dm can only be accepted at the sacrifice of distance calculations which then renders all other observations uncertain!

    Interesting video. Clearly there is a gap in over understanding in the fundamentals of how gravity works. Finding a quantum theory of gravity may help, but like you I am more comfortable with the concept of "dark matter" over modified gravity, even if we have yet to find any dark matter, other than data that suggests it is there (including gravitational lensing) or somethings there that simulates mass (perhaps mass blead through from Everett's many-worlds theory). Modified gravity feels like curving fitting an equation to the data rather than materially expanding our understanding of how gravity works.

    10:15 In the Planck system F(G)/F(e)=Gm(pl)^2/e^2, that is, gravity~strong interaction*. This assumption follows from the Schwarzschild solution: the gravitational radius (or Schwarzschild radius) is a characteristic radius defined for any physical body with mass: r(G)=2GM/c^2. Consequently: 2E(0)/r(G)=F(pl)=c^4/G=ε(pl)/r(pl) : with indicating the mutual quantization of the mass (energy) and space-time: m(0)/m(pl)=r(G)/2r(pl)=n, where n=0,1,2,3..., number of quanta. Moreover, the parameter r(0)=r(G)-r(pl)=(2n-1)r(pl): defining the interval of the formation of the system, at n=0, when r=r(G)=0 (for example, the state of the "universe" before the Big Bang) turns out to be a quite definite quantity: r(0)=-r(pl). In the area [(-rpl) - 0 - (+rpl)] there is an implementation of external forces, "distance": (-rpl)+(+rpl)=0 (≠2rpl). That is, the frightening "true singularity" is actually a superconducting window between the proto-universe (the source) and physical bodies**. P.S. As a fundamental theory, GR has the ability with just one parameter: r(G)/r=k* to predict, explain new physical effects, and amend already known ones. Photon frequency shift in gravitational field Δw/w(0)=k*; the angle of deflection of a photon from a rectilinear propagation path =2k*, the Newtonian orbit of the planet shifts forward in its plane: during one revolution, a certain point of the orbit is shifted by an angle =3πk*, for a circular orbit (eccentricity е=0); in the case of an elliptical orbit - for example, for perihelion displacement, the last expression must be divided by (1-е^2). ------------------- *) - GR predicts a new physical effect: w/w(pl)=k*; expression for gravitational radiation from a test body. This is amenable to physical examination in laboratory conditions at present. **) - From this, generally, from Einstein's equations, where the constant c^4/G=F(pl), one can obtain a quantum expression (as vibration field) for the gravitational potential: ф(G)=(-1/2)[Għ/с]^1/2(w) = -[h/4πm(pl)]w. Final formula:ф(G)=-(w/wpl)c^2/2, where ф(G) - is Newtonian gravitational potential, w - the frequency of the quanta of the gravitational field (space-time); - can be tested experimentally in the laboratory at the moment.

    4:44 There is an explanation, that matches something that I wanted to explore. It goes to the nature of space and physics. Not to state the answer, an multiplex of effects could lead to an affect that changes the rate of acceleration. I was hoping that new horizons would go further, faster and sooner, but seemed to be deliberately geared to never get further than the current furthest probe. There are plans to orbital test a fusion drive and warp engine in 2027. We need to be preparing a probe design to go out and map gravity and the ort cloud now, and fund accelerated development and use of the drive, to launch such a probe in 2027. Even then, unless a successful warp drive is had, it will take years to complete the minimal distance of such a mission. I see no evidence of an Ort cloud which technically too close to the Alpha Centauri system to orbit out system. So, it would be very helpful to find such. We have the ability to adapt a test bed into a robust probe system, and too launch using a current commercial provider, such as Space X, to nearly eliminate the rocket design stage and cost. Once in LEO, it can use conventional acceleration technique to move itself out of Earth orbit. We already know enough about probe design and flight planning to do this. What we do need though, is to make the system last for 10-20 years, if just a fusion design, and slingshot the sun, if needed. However, there are various magnetic sail proposals that are high speed, which could also be explored. We have been sitting on our hands long enough, as far as interstellar probes are concerned.

So in the galaxy positif energy is collected from center to the edge of the galaxy. So we can treat gravity is positive energy. Its effect decreases by distance while the negative energy or dark energy increases. So the galaxy will be kept together. However, I am not a physicist but I love it.

    I'm not disagreeing with you that they're rarely wrong, but I've heard of an interesting "miss" by Einstein. Apparently Einstein based his theories off Planck's first set of equations, which Planck was dissatisfied with. Planck released his second set of equations, which account for zero-point energy, but Einstein didn't want to revamp all his work. According to Mizio Kaku, Einstein said that the zero point energy field would never account for much, which Kaku points to as Einstein's greatest mistake. Some of this I read about from a website which promotes the Stochastic Electro-Dynamic, and I don't claim that either I, or my sources are unbiased.

    Pretty sure gravity is the result of matter's displacement of the underlying space-field or reality-field, and as a result of that displaced field attempting to return to its original universal coordinate, we find ourselves pushed inward toward the center of whichever mass is generating the gravity. Time then is a result of that displacement moving rapidly from one universal coordinate to the other. It was revealed to me in a dream, but in another 100 years this will be generally accepted.

    I think dark matter is normal matter that's hidden, relative to an observer, in higher spacial dimensions. This could explain many things, like why stars etc. on the rims of galaxies don't fly off. We can't find evidence of enough gravity causing objects that are needed in order for objects in the rims of galaxies to be spinning as fast as they are, without flying off into intergalactic space. The needed amount of gravity causing objects could really be normal matter but which is hidden from us in higher spacial dimensions. It would also explain why we haven't found signs of intelligent life because maybe they are hiding their star systems in higher spacial dimensions to hide themselves from potential alien threats. Some black holes could really be fake, created by aliens hiding everying inside a spherical area of space surrounding their star systems & they use a spherical shape to hide their star systems as it looks more natural than, say, hiding a cube area around their star system. It's possible that dark energy is the exact opposite process so that, instead of hiding an amount of space, it is being made to look like there is more space between objects, as in an illusion that is relative to an observer. The question is who wants us to think space is expanding exponentially? 🤔 😱

    Descartes' (Cartesian) Physics solves this easily. Before Newtonian Physics, there was Cartesian Physics. Cartesian Physics says that there are 3 kinds of gravity: mass-vortex-based, star-vortex-based, and galaxy-vortex-based. Instead of particles being "excitations in a quantum field", Cartesian Physics calls them "vortices in the aether-ocean" Galaxy rotation and the expansion of spacetime are galaxy-vortex-based. Newton's inverse square law is mass-vortex-based, as the ratio of a mass-vortex to another mass-vortex. So the 'missing mass problem' is solved by the ratio of star-vortices to a galaxy-vortex. There is no need for AQUAL or MOND. The 5 sigma variation is accounted for by Cartesian Physics, as being caused by the ratio of a star-vortex to another star-vortex. The 16 sigma variation happens because some stars have a more solid material core than others. Not all stars are the same. Cartesian Physics also solves the Hubble Tension, dark matter, dark energy, nuclear fusion, and many other things. Cartesian Physics solves all.

    Thank you very much! A very important topic for deep open global brainstorming. Theoretical physicists have proven that there is a big problem in physics with the metaphysical foundations of physics. Therefore, John A. Wheeler left the following philosophical testament to theoretical physicists: "We are no longer satisfied with insights only into particles, fields of force, into geometry, or even into time and space. Today we demand of physics some understanding of existence itself." Without answering this question, it is impossible to understand the nature of gravity. And this means that we need a new look at matter, its ontological structure. "Formulas" are always "clippings" from the existence of the Universe as a Whole. More than a quarter of a century ago, the mathematician and philosopher Vasily Nalimov set the super-task of building a "super-unified field theory that describes both physical and semantic manifestations of the World" - the creation of a model of the "Self -Aware Universe" (V.Nalimov, 1996). In the same direction, the ideas of the Nobel laureate in physics Brian Josephson (which are not very noticed by mainstream science), set out in the essay "On the Fundamentality of Meaning" (2018). The paradigm of the Universe as an eternal holistic generating process gives a new look at matter. MATTER is that from which all meanings, forms and structures are born. There are three and only three absolute forms of existence of matter (absolute states): absolute rest (linear state, absolute Continuum) + absolute motion (vortical, circular, absolute Discretuum) + absolute becoming (absolute wave, absolute DisContinuum). What is especially important: each absolute form of the existence of matter has its own ONTOLOGICAL PATH (bivector of the absolute state). Accordingly, SPACE (absolute, ontological, existential) has three ontological dimensions ( 9 gnoseological dimensions). It is necessary to “dig” deeper into ontology in order to “grasp” the metanoumenon - ONTOLOGICAL (structural, cosmic) MEMORY, “soul of matter”, its measure. Ontological (structural, cosmic) memory is that "nothing" that holds, preserves, develops and directs matter (enteleschia, nous, Aristotelian mind, prime mover). Therefore, we must write not "space-time", but "SPACE-MATTER/MEMORY-TIME". Fundamental science requires a Big Ontological revolution in the metaphysical / ontological basis of knowledge. Physics must move from the stage "Phenomenological physics" to the stage "Ontological physics". Any theory that claims to be called "fundamentally" must be ontologically justified (the ontological basification of the theory). The new physics is "Ontological physics". John Archibald Wheeler: "To my mind there must be, at the bottom of it all, not an equation, but an utterly simple idea. And to me that idea, when we discover it, will be so compelling, so inevitable, that we will say to one another, 'Oh, how beautiful. How could it have been otherwise?"... "Philosophy is too important to be left to philosophers." A.N. Whitehead: “A precise language must await a completed metaphysical knowledge.”

    Yes, anything but 1/r^2 would be weird - at least in large scale. But something like that does happen with the strong nuclear force: when quarks are pulled apart the nuclear force tries to pull them back with a force which is constant in distance, so pulling them apart creates linearly increasing potential energy, causing confinement of the quarks. This happens because the gluons that carry the force interact with each other forming a tube between the quarks. If something like this would happen in gravity then I think it would mean that the effect would be different between elliptical and disc-like galaxies and they would had noticed it already.

    MOND says stars accelerate slowly over time. I came up with a slow but constant acceleration of 0.00000482 in/s² (0.0000122 cm/s²) When you take the age of the star or galaxy and divide it by it's velocity you get a perfect 10,000 to 1 ratio between age and velocity. This happens with all stars and galaxies. The older they are the faster they're traveling. The stars furthest from the black hole are much older than the stars orbiting close to the black hole. Take for instance our own solar system. It's 4,500,000,000 years old and has an orbital velocity of 536,000 mi/h. According to Newtonian physics it should have an orbital velocity of 86,000 mi/h. So there appears to be mass missing from the equations because there is a discrepancy of 450,000 mi/h. If we take it's age and divide by it's velocity we get 4,500,000,000 divided by 450,000 = 10,000. This is a 10,000 to 1 ratio between it's age and velocity. Meaning it's a slow acceleration of 0.00000482 in/s² (0.0000122 cm/s²) it explains the velocity discrepancy of 450,000 mi/h. We can do the same calculation to the Milky Way galaxy too. The Milky Way is 13,700,000,000 years old. It should be sitting relatively still because there is not enough nearby galaxies to cause it to move. But according to the redshift data coming from the CMB the Milky Way is moving at 1,370,000 mi/h towards what's called the great attractor. But if we take it's age and divide it by it's velocity we get, 13,700,000,000 / 1,370,000 = 10,000. It has the same 10,000 to 1 ratio between it's age and velocity. Meaning our solar system and our Milky Way galaxy have the same slow accelerations of 0.00000482 in/s² (0.0000122 cm/s²). There is no missing mass. There is only this slow but constant acceleration happening over time. It also explains why the stars and satellite galaxies have not lost cohesion with the galaxies overall mass. surely they should have reached an escape velocity a long time ago. But if this extra velocity is produced by a slow acceleration of just 0.00000482 in/s² (0.0000122 cm/s²), then it's not enough of a jolt to force the star or satellite galaxies from it's orbital trajectory. The star or satellite galaxy would never be able to escape because the overall velocity increases slowly over a long time. The accelerations are not rapid in a short period of time, which is required to reach an escape velocity. It also explains why dark matter doesn't affect young stars, young galaxies, planets, moons, comets, asteroids and other small bodies in our solar system. Yet, it seems to affect the velocity of our sun traveling 450,000 mi/h faster than what can be explained by Newtonian physics alone. It's a simple equation that explains the motion of both our solar system and the Milky Way galaxy.

    How do you explain that young stars move at the same speed as older stars at the same distance from the centre of the galaxy? In fact most stars in the galaxy move at about the same speed of around 100km/s no matter their age, and the gas they formed from doesn't magically change speed.

    ​@@tonywells6990 Simple. The stars and satellite galaxies get older and older the further they are from the supermassive black hole. The older they are the faster they'll be traveling. Their ages and velocities would progressively be the same ratio to their distance from the black hole. the stars according to reports by ALMA radio telescope are less than 10,000 years old orbiting close to the supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy. The oldest bodies are found in the halo and at the extents of the Milky Way arms and the satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky way on a different plane than the galaxy disk of stars. The oldest objects traveling too fast to be explained are all located far from the black hole. The young stars close to the black hole are not affected. Did you know our solar system is receding away from the black hole at around 900,000 mi/h while it orbits the galaxy center at 536,000 mi/h? I can clearly see why the spiral arms form. This evidence completely contradicts the predictions made by general relativity, the laws of motion, the big bang, cosmic inflation and the evolutionary cosmological model of the universe. You won't hear mainstream cosmologists say anything about it. Not until they are able to figure out why. And no, this hypothesis is not as magical as the dark matter hypothesis, which can't be measured, can't be observed, doesn't radiate heat, EM fields or light, doesn't exert any other indication except stars and galaxies move way to fast to be explained by theory or laws of motion.

While Zwicky assumed an invisible force (dark matter) as ‘source of gravity’ to explain puzzling movements of planets around stars, Einstein came up with warped spacetime with fourdimensional motions (including rotation), whereby Einstein realised he knew better than Newton.

Perhaps Coulomb's law is being demonstrated because a recent article from SciTech daily showed turbulence in plasma makes the magnetic fields in deep space. Since space is not an empty vacuum but teeming with ionized particles, neutrals, and free electrons this turbulence would have electric currents which we know generate magnetic fields. Then you have Lorentz forces and spin from the right hand rule. All because of charge and not mass which goes back to my point of Coulomb's law instead of the universal law of gravitation. 🤔

    We know that gravity produces nonsensical results at the smallest quantum size possible, but that is an unimaginably tiny size, about a billionth of a trillionth of the size of a proton, or at the centre of a black hole (the singularity, if that even exists). We can't even measure gravity on nanoscales because it is such a weak force between atoms, but we know it works very accurately on the scale between millimetres and the size of the observable universe.

    @@tonywells6990 I guess I'm confused, then. I understood that galaxies are not acting correctly. Stars are orbiting too fast. I didn't think we could explain that.

    @@blogintonblakley2708 We explain that with dark matter. There are some alternatives to dark matter, such as MOND (extra acceleration at further distances), but none of the alternatives seem to work for any other large scale structures in the universe which means dark matter is most likely out there and gravity probably isn't weird.

    @@tonywells6990 Okay I think I get it now. So gravity isn't weird there is just more of it from somewhere than we expect. And the somewhere it's coming from is alleged to be dark matter, not a fundamental problem with our understanding of gravity.

    @@blogintonblakley2708 Yes. Of course that could be wrong, but there is no known alternative that fits anywhere near as well as the simplistic 'cold dark matter' model.
