Hi,
my thesis is that matter sucks up energy and this is the reason for gravity.
I dont know in which frequency range this happens, but I think matter
sucks up zeropoint energy and converts it to matter.
There was a similar theory that was discussed by Clerk Maxwell and
Boltzmann and others. They had the idea gravity is caused by radiation
pressure. Matter absorbs this radiation and so we get an attraction
force, which is a pressure force from outside.
Maxwell calulated this and finally came to the conclusion, that under
this condition matter must infinitely heat up, and so this idea was
finally rejected.
Now, he did not know "e=m*c^2". What happens if the energy is converted
into mass?
Lets use air as an example for energy. Speed of sound is independent
from pressure, but it is dependent from temperature.
c ~ sqrt(T). If c is speed of sound and T is temperature, then c is
proportional dependent from squareroot of temperature.
c^2 ~ T. c squared is proportional to temperature.
T = p* c^2. p is the proportional factor.
Now, lets replace t by energy and p by mass, then we get e =m*c^2.
Because mass sucks up energy, the energy density near to a mass must be
lower than far away.
With lower temperature in air we get lower speed of sound.
With lower energy density in space we get slower speed of c.
Therefore light is bent by gravitation.
But c is always measured constant! How this?
This is, because we use c to measure space and time. Distance is
measured by an electromagnetic wavelength and time is measured from a
resonancy frequency of atoms. So c is constant by definition of the
measurement method.
So, instead measuring slower speed of c we must measure dilated time and
dilated space as Einsteins relativity theory predicts.
