Abstract
Two situations are contrasted. First is a scenario in which a force (an interaction) is applied to a mass particle (or object) in order to increase its speed. When this particle is accelerated it gains kinetic energy. By means of electromagnetic interaction or repeated collisional impact, the mass particle may acquire ever greater speed and ever greater kinetic energy. But, by such means, the particle can never ever attain lightspeed. However, Nature has a noninteraction mechanism by which mass is compelled to travel at lightspeed and in doing so, the mass undergoes conversion to pure photonic energy. Under this noninteraction second scenario, the mass merely rests on the surface of a slowly collapsing gravitating body while the surface inflow of the space medium increases to its ultimate limit. With the aid of a schematic energy triangle, it is shown why lightspeed is unattainable under scenario #1; whereas lightspeed IS attainable under scenario #2 and in the process a total conversion of mass to energy occurs. Presented is a remarkably natural 100-percent conversion process that requires no new force, no new particle, and no radically new physics. Nor does it require changing any existing force. If theorists of the 20th century had recognized this mass-to-energy conversion mechanism, their understanding of gravitational collapse would have been radically different —it would have been perfectly natural.
Highlights
There are three basic ways by which mass can be converted directly to energy.The most unambiguous mechanism is that presented by the annihilation reaction between a mass particle and its antiparticle
Consider the Earth; the effect of gravity is strongest at the surface and the inflow of the space medium at the surface is net 11.2 kilometers per second
In order to accommodate the fact that Scenario 2 requires the referencing of motion to the universal medium in a specific gravitational environment, the energy triangle is reinterpreted in terms of relabeled parameters
Summary
There are three basic ways by which mass can be converted directly to energy. The most unambiguous mechanism is that presented by the annihilation reaction between a mass particle and its antiparticle. A second way is through nuclear fusion Under this process only a small portion of the interacting mass particles is converted to energy. Fusion is the nuclear reaction that takes place within stars It converts a very small fraction of the mass (of the smaller nuclei) into pure energy —electromagnetic radiant energy. The disintegration of any radio-active substance must involve a decrease of weight, since it is accompanied by the emission of radiation in the form of γ-rays.” [1] Those are the conventional three There is another mechanism for mass-to-energy conversion —one that is total and requires no interaction whatsoever. As a preliminary to the explanation of interaction-free conversion (of mass to energy), it will be helpful to examine what is required to drive a mass particle towards lightspeed and appreciate what happens to the particle during its acceleration to such extreme speed.
