Antigravity Research

PhilJ, You had a really clean answer the other day regarding antimatter jets at the center of our galactic plane (on another post). Could antimatter be repulsed by Gravity? What is antimatter? As far as I am concerned antigravity is a real concept.
John

Patrick,

The cause of gravity is explained in great detail in a book and several papers by TVF. The book is available at the store on this Website, or at Amazon.com etc, or at your local library. The papers are available from the home page of this Website, via tabs Cosmology / Gravity.

But you already know these things. This is part of the reason for my troll warning.

If you have a more specific question (some particular detail in an article you don't understand, or some detail you disagree with), it can be addressed here. But it takes a book and several articles to address a question as broad as "what is the cause of gravity".

But, yes; it is conceivable that there are far-off corners of the universe where time and gravity work backwards, because everything there is made of anti-matter. When you find one of those places, I'll gladly fund your research on it---fat chance!

Anti-particles have been observed in the lab, but they disappear in a matter of attoseconds (10^-18 sec). A positron, for example, is comparable to an electron with negative charge; it behaves like an electron moving backwards in time. If an electron and a positron collide, they annihilate one another; all of their mass is converted to a pair of high-energy photons. That recently-discovered jet at the center of our galaxy is emitting a lot of photons of just the right energy to be caused by electron-positron annihilation, and it extends several light years from the source.

I don't believe it is known yet whether anti-matter possesses positive or negative gravity. If MM is right about the cause of gravity, it seems logical that anti-matter should have positive gravity; but I could be wrong about that.

A couple of years ago, I started a discussion about " repulsion of like charges ". To my knowlege, there is no satisfactory explanation of it in MM. It occurred to me that something similar to a CG, but with negative-mass, might cause a repuslive force in the same way that CG's cause an attractive force. That's a far cry from macro objects with negative mass, but you might want to play with that idea for a while. Imagine a negative-mass baseball fastened it to a coil spring; if you push the spring, the ball will accelerate back at you faster and faster until both it and your hand are crushed; pull and the ball will jump away until the spring (or your arm) breaks. How that might work at some ultra-small scale is open to question, but at macro scale, it is a nest of paradoxes.

PhilJ, Good Response! Part of the problem in assuming that Antimatter is not in balance with our known material universe is that we cannot step out of the forward motion of time, and the experiencer becomes an artifact in the experiment in that you cannot follow the particle/wave of antimatter into reverse time. Therefore, the physicist that see's equal amounts of annihilations split into equal amounts of forward motion matter and reverse motion antimatter will have seen the antimatter disappear sooner since it is not going forward in time.

I have been in the midst of a construction project and now that I am almost finished with the project, I hope to have a lot more time to do research and get my office/library put together. One of my goals is to subscribe to Tom's newsletter, read his books, and get up to speed on MM.

I have my own ideas about "how" levitation works within a gravity field, and as reviewed with in the context of the previous posts there are others with significantly more knowledge then I, that have first hand experience with levitational effects. I attempted to follow a trail of knowledge that pointed to some sort of commonality in "how" levitation was caused during the various experiments. What conclusions followed out of my research was far different then what I expected. I have seen that gravity effects time and relativity completely. As noted by Bill Alek's work, gravity anomolies have an effect on weight, height, and time. I will post some pictures that show these effects. If electrostatic forces are similar to gravitons, in that they travel 20 billion times the speed of light then it might be that these forces can unlock the atomic syncronizations caused by gravitons that push the mass of all atoms towards the center of the gravity well, and reverse the spin of the atomic nuclei creating a repulsive force.

That is exactly what Mel Winfield discovered, that electrical fields can reverse the nucleonic spin and cause repulsion away from the gravity well. See previous posts and video.

It never made sense to me how a big bang model of universe could only have one direction in time, and after I saw the simple Dirac positive one and negative one to infinity that was like a light going on in my head. It transformed my way of thinking about the universe.

If parity does exist between positive and negative time then we should be able to see these effects as positive and negative mass, forward and reverse time, hot and cold energy, forward and reverse light waves, and these effects should be measurable at both micro and macro levels. At the micro levels the latest information on the Proton (HERA collider experiments, see previous posts) defies normal explanations of quantum states as shown by the dynamic release of continuous streams of quarks and antiquarks, and does support the view that universe is balanced between forward and reverse time. Other questions, such as the currents of cold and hot energy as described by Bill Alek; could these effects be caused by the continuous interactions between forward and reverse time?

On a macro level as you stated PhilJ, we certainly do have a nest of paradoxes that current BB theory has twisted into a nice little mess that has universe expanding at the speed of light...but, with perfect uniformity in all directions (now how do you do that!!!).

Well, parity would certainly solve a lot of problems by taking the wrinkles out of the folded brane space making our universe fairly uniform in nature with a vortical curve that was formed from the incoming graviton that may have originated from the flux fields around the reverse spin sister universe.

So, PhilJ you are correct in that "antimatter is not present in any great quantity"...because the antiparticle becomes available only under certain circumstances and I believe when we can answer the question why antimatter is suddenly made available during collider experiments but is not otherwise visibly available, then we will begin to put the pieces together to create a completed puzzle that I believe will include a forward and reverse time universe model.

The Annihilation Fountain in the Galactic Center Region

Interpreting the Cloud - A companion release to NRL Press Release 31-97R

An unexpected cloud of antimatter annihilation radiation was discovered by a team led by Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) and Northwestern University researchers using data obtained with the Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment (OSSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. This discovery points to the existence of a hot fountain of gas filled with antimatter electrons rising from a region that surrounds the center of our galaxy. The nature of the furious activity producing the hot antimatter-filled fountain is unclear, but could be related to prolific star formation taking place near the large black hole at our galaxy's center. Other possibilities include winds from overweight stars or black hole antimatter factories.

Clouds of antimatter at galactic center:

"In addition to these maps, Integral is also looking deeply into the centre of the Galaxy, to make the most detailed map ever of 'antimatter' there.

Antimatter is like a mirror image to normal matter and is produced during extremely energetic atomic processes: for example, the radioactive decay of aluminium. Its signature is known as the '511 keV line.' Even though Integral's observations are not yet complete, they show that there is too much antimatter in the centre of the Galaxy to be coming from aluminium decay alone. They also show clearly that there must be many sources of antimatter because it is not concentrated around a single point.

There are many possible sources for this antimatter. As well as supernovae, old red stars and hot blue stars, there are jets from neutron stars and black holes, stellar flares, gamma-ray bursts and interaction between cosmic rays and the dusty gas clouds of interstellar space."

This is an incomplete list of some of the unsolved problems in physics. Some of these problems are theoretical, meaning that existing theories seem incapable of explaining some observed phenomenon or experimental result. Others are experimental, meaning that there is a difficulty in creating an experiment to test a proposed theory or investigate a phenomenon in greater detail.

Accretion disc jets: Why do the accretion discs surrounding certain astronomical objects, such as the nuclei of active galaxies, emit relativistic jets along their polar axes?

Accelerating universe: Why is the expansion of the universe accelerating, as we have observed? What is the nature of the dark energy driving this acceleration? If it is due to a cosmological constant, why is the constant so small, yet non-zero? Why isn't it huge, as predicted by most quantum field theories, or zero for some yet unknown symmetry reason? What is the ultimate fate of the universe?

Amorphous solids: What is the nature of the transition between a fluid or regular solid and a glassy phase? What are the physical processes giving rise to the general properties of glasses?

Arrow of time: Why did the universe have such low entropy in the past, resulting in the distinction between past and future and the second law of thermodynamics?

Black holes: Do they really exist? If not, then what are the ultracompact supermassive objects that have been observed and what physics governs them?

Baryon asymmetry: Why is there far more matter than antimatter in the universe?

Cosmic inflation: Is the theory of cosmic inflation correct, and if so, what are the details of this epoch? What is the hypothetical inflaton field giving rise to inflation?

Dark matter: What is the nature of the material observed via only its gravitational effects (for example, in the Galaxy rotation problem)? Or, does such matter exist at all? (An alternative explanation could be that the equations of General Relativity are subtly wrong, for example in Modified Newtonian Dynamics).

Fusion power: Is it possible to construct a practical nuclear reactor that is powered by nuclear fusion rather than nuclear fission?

Gamma ray bursts: What is the nature of these extraordinarily energetic astronomical objects?

Gravitational waves: Is our universe filled with gravitational radiation from the big bang? From astrophysical sources, such as inspiralling neutron stars? What can this tell us about quantum gravity and general relativity?

GZK paradox: Why is it that some cosmic rays appear to possess energies that are impossibly high, given that there are no sufficiently energetic cosmic ray sources near the Earth, and cosmic rays emitted by distant sources should have been absorbed by the cosmic microwave background radiation?

High-temperature superconductors: Why do certain materials exhibit superconductivity at temperatures much higher than around 50 kelvins?

Magnetic monopoles: Are there any particles that carry "magnetic charge", and if so, why are they so difficult to detect?

Pioneer anomaly: What causes the apparent residual Sunward acceleration of the Pioneer spacecraft?

Proton decay: Do protons decay? If so, then what is their half-life?

Quantum chromodynamics (QCD) in the non-perturbative regime: The equations of QCD remain unsolved at energy scales relevant for describing atomic nuclei. How does QCD give rise to the physics of nuclei and nuclear constituents?

Quantum computers: Is it possible to construct a practical computer that performs calculations on qubits (quantum bits)?

Quantum gravity: How can the theory of quantum mechanics be merged with the theory of general relativity to produce a so-called "theory of everything"? Does our present understanding of the gravitational force remain correct at microscopic length scales? What verifiable predictions does any theory of quantum gravity make?

Quantum mechanics in the correspondence limit: Is there a preferred interpretation of quantum mechanics? How does the quantum description of reality, which includes elements such as the superposition of states and wavefunction collapse, give rise to the reality we perceive?

Standard Model parameters: What gives rise to the Standard Model of particle physics? Why do its particle masses and coupling constants possess the values we have measured? Does the Higgs boson predicted by the model really exist? Why are there 3 classes of particles in the Standard Model? Is the Standard Model reality, a good approximation to reality or fatally flawed?

String theory: Is string theory, or superstring theory, or M-theory, or some other variant on this theme, the final "theory of everything", a step on the road or a blind alley?

Supersymmetry: Is supersymmetry a symmetry of Nature? If so, how is supersymmetry broken, and why? Can the new particles predicted by supersymmetry be detected?

Turbulence: Is it possible to make a theoretical model to describe the behavior of a turbulent fluid (in particular, its internal structures)?

Alright, I'll be a little more specific. Does anyone have a different understanding as to the cause of gravity other than a HYPOTHESIS about gravitons "pushing" all the "stuff" towards "things" that are greater in mass? Does anyone know of any experiments that would confirm any "CAUSE OF GRAVITY" findings? []
