Gravity.

For the last 3 years, I have been constructing a universe, in my mind, that does not exist. Testament to a system of teaching which is wholly inadequate (especially given our knowledge as a species on the topic of physics), but that's another rant for another day. I'll make 900 mistakes before coming to a correct conclusion, these 900 mistakes teach me about how and WHY things are the way they are.

I have heard, too often, that physics is meaningless without math, yet in the 12+ years of schooling I received math was always a system of describing things which could be translated into a coherent idea, a description of what interactions are taking place and why each function is being performed. In Physics, the exodus away from theory (explanation) and towards math has led to a very exclusive science. Theory without math is just a bunch of words. Math without theory is equally as meaningless.

The ideas I want to discuss do have mathematical backing. They are based off of rules, followed to logical conclusions. Rules which I have spent beating out of people and texts.

My latest discovery (and one which should have been in every/any level physics book) is that the gravity of an object is not dependent solely on its mass, but its motion as well. An object in relative motion will have a slightly increase gravitational pull compared to the object when it is at relative rest.

This is been a complete epiphany for me. For 3 years I have held a model of the universe in which the structure of spacetime is independent of all matter and one of the conclusions I came to was that gravity was dependent on rest mass. If gravity was NOT dependent on rest mass, and instead changes with relative velocity, then the independent structure of spacetime has to curve differently for different objects which are all moving relative to one another.

From what I know, Physicists are currently working on a graviton "particle" theory. Which is something they will never find. Just like the Higgs Boson. This is akin to "Mach's Principle" (which then also has to explain how gravitons are created, exchanged, chicken/egg (matter/spacetime), etc, etc, etc). Each object in the universe essentially has its own "island" of spacetime that it emits and it measures every other object's gravity according to this island.

(Just a thought to address at some point: What about frame dragging then?)

A universe in which an independent structure of spacetime exists has its own set of problems. We begin needing a system which multiple states can occur for a single part of spacetime.
