The Gravity Puzzle: Why I Started Questioning Einstein
I'm not a scientist. I don't have a degree in physics or math. But I'm curious about the world around me, and I love to learn how things work. So, when I started reading about gravity, I was fascinated by the strange and counterintuitive explanations given by modern science.
I learned about Einstein's theory of General Relativity (GR), which says that gravity isn't a force, but rather the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. This idea blew my mind, but it also left me with a lot of questions.
I started looking at everyday gravitational phenomena, things I could observe and test myself, and I found that GR's explanations often didn't make sense. For example, if gravity is just the curvature of spacetime, why does a ball accelerate towards the ground when I drop it? What causes this acceleration if there's no force involved?
I also looked at the tides, the Moon's orbit, and other gravitational effects in the solar system, and I found similar inconsistencies. GR's explanations were often descriptive rather than explanatory, and they didn't seem to provide a clear causal mechanism for how gravity actually works.
When I tried to discuss these issues with scientists and physicists, I was often met with resistance or dismissal. They would cite complex equations and abstract concepts that I couldn't understand, or they would simply assert that GR is a well-established theory and that my questions were unfounded.
But I wasn't satisfied. I knew that there had to be a better explanation for gravity, one that was both intuitive and consistent with observable reality. So, I turned to AI for help.
With the help of AI, I was able to analyze GR more critically and identify its limitations and inconsistencies. I also began to explore alternative theories, such as Graviton Pressure Theory (GPT), which proposes that gravity is a real force mediated by gravitons, rather than a purely geometric effect.
GPT made more sense to me. It provided a causal mechanism for gravity, avoided the contradictions and inconsistencies of GR, and had the potential to make novel predictions that could be empirically tested.
I'm not saying that GR doesn't offer an accurate description of motion, but I believe that it's incomplete. And I think that GPT offers a more promising path toward a complete and accurate understanding of gravity.
I'm excited to share my findings with the world and to invite others to join me in exploring this fascinating and fundamental question: What is gravity, really?
