SELFPROOF 0125 - GRAVITONS, MASS, AND GALILEOCURRENT PARADIGM
In 1589–92, the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei is said to have dropped two spheres of different masses from the Leaning Tower of Pisa to demonstrate that their time of descent was independent of their mass, according to a biography by Galileo's pupil Vincenzo Viviani, composed in 1654 and published in 1717. Via this experiment, Galileo supposedly discovered that the objects fell
with the same acceleration, proving his prediction true, while at the
same time disproving Aristotle's theory of gravity (which states that objects fall at speed proportional to their mass). ( Wikipedia - 04 Sep 2017)
COMMENTARY
Whether
or not Galileo actually dropped spheres from the Leaning Tower of Pisa,
his prediction has been tested in many ways with the same result -
that falling objects uniformly accelerate
at the
same rate irrespective of their mass. Mathematical
explanations allow the effect to be
described in all circumstances but mechanical explanations are hard to
come by. The Malta Template can offer a mechanical
explanation because it comes at the effect from the
"opposite direction" and can thus describe what happens at a
"lower level" than is possible in the Current Paradigm. Consider the
following: - That each of the 24 types of elementary fermion
consists of at least two gravitons. In practice, gravitons are
extremely insubstantial so each type of fermion actually
consists of a great many gravitons. (Conclusion 0101-01)
- That
every graviton attracts every other graviton in the Universe at a rate
proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between them. (Conclusion 0103-01)
- That every
graviton occupies the whole of its place in space and time and
therefore has the height, width, depth, and duration of that place in
space and time. (Assumption 0102-04)
When
gravitons are taken into account, Galileo's prediction is underlain by two measures and two properties: - RATE
OF FALL (measure): The speed at which a graviton
falls toward a gravity source at a specific moment. Because
every graviton has exactly the same measure of
gravitypull, every graviton falling in
identical circumstances will have exactly the same rate of
fall.
- RATE
OF ACCELERATION (measure): Acceleration in the rate of fall as a graviton
falls toward a gravity source. Because every graviton has exactly
the same measure of gravitypull, every graviton falling in
identical circumstances will have exactly the same rate of
acceleration.
- GRAVITATIONALMASS (property): This is the gravitypull of a graviton.
Gravitypull is always on and always
attracting.
- INERTIALMASS (property): This is the rejectivity of a graviton. Rejectivity is only apparent when gravitons collide and at the
moment of contact
The
Galileo spheres are ultimately made of gravitons but
the gravitons have no "awareness"
of being part of a sphere. A graviton is only "aware" that it
has gravitypull ( gravitationalmass) and rejectivity
( inertialmass): thus they attract, and are attracted by, every other graviton in the Universe and if they collide
with other gravitons they cannot help but bounce away. A
graviton's attraction relationship with every other graviton in the Universe is
governed by the inverse square law so a graviton within an object
is more strongly attracted toward the gravitons in a nearby massive object than those in a hugely massive but distant object. Thus it
is that the dominant attraction for the gravitons in the Galileo spheres is toward the gravitons of the
Earth rather than those of the Sun - and since
every graviton
has exactly the same mass/gravitypull measure, each one moves independently toward
the Earth with exactly the same rate of acceleration. When the spheres are dropped
within the Earth's atmosphere, as from the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the
rate of acceleration is conditioned by inertialmass in action: by
the sphere's gravitons colliding with atmosphere's gravitons and reacting
accordingly. Thus the rate of acceleration is slower and there is a terminal velocity. In
practice, were it possible to view gravitons directly, the
real situation would be seen to be messier than as described
above, thus: That
said, the resulting variations to the main are relatively
small and tend to equalise so the
following holds: In identical conditions
the rate of fall of an object
accelerates at a rate dictated by
the rate of acceleration of the gravitons it is made of
irrespective of the mass of the object.
CONCLUSION
The
Malta Template describes the mechanisms underlying Galileo's
prediction without recourse to unproven physics,
unjustifiable assumptions or complex mathematics. Accepting it as a
probable description requires recognition that an as yet
unconfirmed object like the graviton, a particle with mass
and rejectivity, does exist. Give the graviton that recognition,
however, and everything else falls into place automatically. The
resulting description sits
comfortably within the current knowledgebase and doesn't contradict any
empirically established fact. It is thus selfproved until such time as
it
can be improved.

is a property not found in the Current Paradigm, notwithstanding it is a

Template cannot work successfully without it. Nor can the Current Paradigm.
