Abstract

This work presents a new approach to gravitation. Instead of seeing mass as a source of gravitation, the opposite is assumed here. Namely, gravitation has been there first and ever since. Masses were brought into the game later, following highly energetic interactions between electromagnetic fields (photons), with the gravitation field. These interactions resulted in photon annihilation and pair (or jets) production processes. Though pair production is forbidden kinematically in an empty space, itis allowed when the interaction of an incoming photon with gravitation field occurs. Quantum fluctuations in the gravitation field create very intense geometrical distortions in spacetime which in turn allows for photons to undergo momentum changes in favor of pair production processes.

Highlights

  • Gravitation was discovered by Sir Isaac Newton, as published in the third volume of the Principia[1]

  • Masses were brought into the game later, that will dominate quantum fluctuations at high intensity gravitation fields

  • Einstein has suggested that gravitational forces are the result of the distortion of gravitational field caused by the presence of mass

Summary

Introduction

Gravitation was discovered by Sir Isaac Newton, as published in the third volume of the Principia[1]. 6 1 considered to be the central source of the gravitational field It is governed by a universal constant G (=6.6743x10-11 [Nm2/Kg2]), representing the magnitude of the force which falls off inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the mass center. Einstein has suggested that gravitational forces are the result of the distortion of gravitational field caused by the presence of mass. Once a mass is placed in this field, the field itself becomes curved (distorted) and any other object (massive or massless) passing in this distorted field is forced to move along this curved space field lines, as if being attracted by gravity. A theory of quantum gravity would resolve these contradictions by applying the rules of quantum mechanics to effects below this lower limit of gravity This willy endow the gravitational field with the randomness and uncertainty characteristic of quantization. At first theorists thought there would be a simple fix: Just modify general relativity to allow the gravitational field to be in two places at once[4,5,6,7,8,9]
