24. How much gravity does a Body Have?
There is also some air-aether in the channels of rock B.
This air-aether opposes the air-aether in the physical air, which then renders the air-aether in the channels idle.
Likewise, there are some earth-aether particles in the physical air that opposes the earth-aether particles of rock B. But these do nothing to the earth-aether particles of that body.
Subtracting these from both sides, the remaining air-aether in this physical air acts on the remaining earth-aether particles of Body B.
In this alone, its gravity consists. *
Superphysics Note
In Newtonian Physics, gravity is dependent on object’s mass which is then measured by acceleration on Earth.
But in Cartesian Physics, the gravity (and movement in general) is dependent on the ratio of spacetime particles to each other. A massive object has far less spacetime. This means spacetime is pushing around it from all sides, causing it to be harder to move.
In contrast, a less massive object has so much spacetime that it is easy to move in space. This is why the next article emphasizes that gravity is not based on the amount of matter in a body. It is just common to have less spacetime in a matter-dense body.
25. The quantity of gravity does not correspond to the quantity of matter in each body*
Superphysics Note
The air-aether that causes gravity is made up of:
- the air-aether
- the air-aether that is mixed with the fire-aether*
- the air-aether in the earth-aether in the physical air**
Superphysics Note
- *This is seen in the Galileo 5 and 6 satellites which are disturbed from their orbits by the light from the sun
- **Only this part is removed when a body falls in a vacuum
The fire-aether, all else being equal, has a greater force to push downward on terrestrial bodies than the air-aether globules because it has more agitation. *
Superphysics Note
The air-aether globules, in turn, have more force than the physical air that they carry with them, for a similar reason.
Hence, gravity alone cannot easily estimate how much earth-aether is in each body.
Superphysics Note
| Rank of Force Strength | Element |
|---|---|
| 1 | Electromagnetism |
| 2 | Spacetime (gravity) |
| 3 | Matter (air or ground resistance) |
A mass of gold weighs 20 times more than an equal volume of water. But it might not contain 4 or 5 times more earth-aether because:
- the weight of the physical air has to be subtracted from both
- water, as a liquid, is lighter than solid bodies because of the motion of its particles
26. Why bodies do not gravitate in their natural places
There is a circular motion in every movement of bodies that move together*.
Superphysics Note
No body falls due to its gravity unless, at the same moment, another body of equal size and less gravity rises. *
Superphysics Note
This is why, in a vessel, no matter how deep and wide:
- the lower parts of water are only pressed by the ones directly above them
- the parts of the bottom are only pressed by those water vertically above them.
For example, in vessel ABC, the drop of water 1 is not pressed by the drops 2, 3, 4 above it.
This is because, if they were to fall, other drops like 5, 6, 7 would have to ascend in their place.
Since these are equally heavy, they prevent the descent of drops 2, 3, 4.
However, these drops 1, 2, 3, 4, by joining forces, press against the particles of bottom B. This is because, if they cause B to descend, they themselves will also descend.
The parts of the air 8, 9, which are lighter than them, will ascend in their place.
But the same part B of the vessel is not pressed by more drops than these 1, 2, 3, 4 or others equivalent to them because, at the moment when this part B can descend, not more drops can follow.
27. Gravity causes bodies to descend toward the center of the Earth
The air-aether particles are simultaneously agitated by many different motions. Yet all their actions conspire together and are balanced, opposing some more than others.
Only the mass of the Earth obstructs their movements.
This is why they tend equally to move away from the Earth’s mass in all directions, as if removed from its center, unless some external cause introduces a difference.
Such external causes can be conceived. But whether their effect is significant enough to be perceived by the senses, I have not yet discovered.
