[Physics] gravity is NOT a force

[Tufail Abbas]

Tom, please excuse me for a bit different description as I do not agree
with variation in speed of light. Constancy of speed of light has been
proved through many experiments, so I would prefer to discuss only about
meaning of this constancy. We are aware of so many different kind of
fields. I simply put them into two different category:

*ANISOTROPIC FIELDS*: Gravitational Field, Electromagnetic Field, Strong
Force Field, Weak Force Field.

*THE ISOTROPIC FIELD*: Yet undiscovered and/or not understood. It is only
of one kind, since we cannot have two different kind of Isotropy, similar
to the  argument that we cannot have two different kind of perfect
transparency. It can either be coloured or perfectly transparent. Since we
have not understood this field, we speculate our amazement with different
names: Aether,  Higgs Field, Spacetime, Isotropic Continuum, etc.

All Anisotropic Fields are local distortion of The Isotropic Field, caused
by  matter particles which is the source of local distortion/anisotropy. Or
in other worlds all fields(including The Isotropic Field) are not different
from matter particles but they are part of it. They are all extension of
matter particles. Similar is the case with photon (e/m field) , which has
no independent existence separate from matter.

Due to dynamic interaction between the extensions of matter particles,
 matter particles are always *effectively at rest* wrt large scale
Isotropic field. And extensions are always moving at velocity c wrt same
 Isotropic Field. So speed of light* (extension) *is constant with respect
to matter* (source)*.

Tufail, here is some speculation.
Light, on its way to planet Earth from any star, travels at speed c
relative to the medium it is in.
Let's call empty space a medium because it is not really empty. The light
leaves the star at c and travels outward. For the first part of its journey
it is in the medium surrounding the star it has just left, so it travels at
c WRT that star for let us say one light year. It then enters inter stellar
space, where there are atoms and molecules, and takes up a speed c WRT that
medium. As it passes near other stars on its way to us, its speed changes
to c WRT each of those stars. It finally arrives at Earth, where its speed
is c WRT Earth. The illusion is made that the speed of light is relative to
the observer, as each observer, wherever he is, sees the light at c (plus
or minus his own speed). His own speed is so minute compared to light
speed, that when he measures the speed of light, he will find it to be c.
It arrives on Earth, changing its speed to c WRT Earth, or to be more
precise c/n, where n in our atmosphere is   1.00029 . Again, to any
observer, that speed is so close to c to be indistinguishable from it.
An alternative to the medium would be the gravitational field of any star
or matter in space through which that light passes, so the speed of light
is c WRT the local gravitational field. I have heard of both theories.

Dear All

I also agree in principle to the following statements from  Stavros
Message, based upon reading his paper Z-Infinity.

1. Space-time is everything.
2. Empty space does not exist as a physical entity.
3. Space and time exist as physical entities.
4. Space-time has a cyclic and a unidirectional component.
5. Space-time is a waving continuum and is curved because of its waving
nature.
6. Space-time is absolutely elastic at speed < c, and absolutely rigid for
any speed >= c.

Physicist  Matt Strassler made a very important statement as follows,
regarding  Higgs Fields and Space-time at https://profmattstrassler.c
om/articles-and-posts/the-higgs-particle/the-higgs-faq-2-0/


“No matter how you are moving, you are not moving relative to the Higgs
field. That sounds bizarre, but remember something else bizarre: that no
matter how you are moving, light is moving about relative to you at the
same speed, namely 300,000 meters per second. Our intuition for space and
time is not correct — that’s what Einstein figured out — and it is possible
for there to be fields that are at rest with respect to all observers!”

What are your thoughts on the above.
