Quantal Theory of Gravity (QTG): Essential points and implications

Abstract

“Quantal Theory of Gravity” (QTG) is a new undertaking that describes the behavior of projectile-like and wave-like particles in a gravitational field – and, in fact, any field the object at hand interacts with – on the basis of the law of energy conservation. QTG successfully combines metric and dynamical methodologies via a conjoint quantum mechanical formulation. Accordingly, a wave-like test object consisting of a quantal part and a corpuscular part, which start as concentric and identical with regards to their energies, must get torn apart when it engages gravity. Such a test object should then better be treated separately as a two-entity problem. But we nevertheless show that the said problem can be reduced to a single-entity problem. This straightforwardly delivers a new quantal equation of motion, which points to a novel metric expression of space–time wherefrom one can reverse-engineer all of the findings of the past century. Said feature constitutes one of the principal novelties in this contribution. Thus, QTG and the General Theory of Relativity (GTR) yield, within the measurement precision, indistinguishable results for classical problems, except singularities, through though totally different means. What is more, QTG separately explains the propagation of projectile-like objects such as high-energy γ-quanta, in which case, we predict the nullification of gravitational attraction. This constitutes another principal novelty of QTG corroborated by a recent experiment. Finally, we show how GTR could have so successfully coped with the known classically measured results, yet only as a consequence of the quantal application of QTG and its single-entity approach. That constitutes the final and most cardinal novelty we herein bring to attention.
