Abstract

Push-gravity is an alternative theory to General Relativity, which originates back to the time of Newton when scientists Fatio and later Le Sage proposed that gravity was due to an imbalance of continuous and uniform particle streams we cannot see. Today, we know that there exists such a uniform field. Not particles, but cosmic radiation. Thus, in this article, the imbalance push force due to cosmic radiation shielding between objects is derived using antenna theory, i.e. the Friis equation. The push force is tested as the source of gravitation arriving at a condition that must be equal for the orbiting planets for the theory to hold, which is in accordance with Kepler´s third law, i.e. for all planets. Based on this result, the cosmic radiation push should be further investigated as the source of gravitation.

Highlights

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Georges-Louis Le Sage, a French scientist in the 18th century, claimed that gravitation is due to a steady stream of particles we cannot see that affect all objects from all directions, and that two objects will shield these particles from each other to give an imbalance in the pressure they are subjected to. Fatio and Le Sage's particles were hypothetical, and they did not know about the cosmic radiation that has been detected in modern times, which is the basis for the theory presented in this paper, e.g. the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB), and the Cosmic Ultraviolet Background (COUVB) (Bowyer, 1991). The Aim of my work is to evaluate push gravity in light of modern knowledge of the cosmic radiation and antenna theory. These two areas has had a huge development and gives a reason to revisit the push gravity theory as we know that the radiation push is there and that it can be modelled using the Friis transmission equation well known in antenna theory (Narayan, 2007)
