#589377 — Gravity and light question

Message-ID<0a163a49-9fa1-4559-9d24-690bc522b0c6@googlegroups.com>
Is there a hypothesis that explains why light falls twice as fast as mass?

Please, don't offer equations because math explain nothing. On the contrary, it's the math that needs a physical explanation.

Math is just a shorthand language. Either you know how to read it or you 
don't. But if you have someone that expresses things well in French, it 
is silly to say that French expresses nothing and that French needs to 
be translated into English.

Oooh, such macho overcompensation.

I have to admit that it mystifies me how a woodworker would have no 
difficulty working through books with a lot of math in them, but you 
somehow feel it is an unfair burden for you.

This comparison is so that you know it has nothing to do with native 
ability, but instead has more to do with laziness.

I think I just want to add that you announced you were leaving the 
newsgroup, and then you didn't.

Then you said "adios" to a few people, letting them know you would have 
nothing more to do with them, and then you didn't follow through on that 
either.

All this is pretty indicative of someone who is all bluster but no 
substance, a lot of noise and no follow-through, a lot of "gonnas" and 
no actual doing. I imagine you are very familiar with hearing this comment.

Funny, I keep coming here hoping to discuss physics.
If you don't want to help mapou001, then consider posting

Fine. I will just note that the OP has a habit of declaring that it's 
all nonsense before even knowing what the heck he's talking about. Had 
he approached with a little more civility, he would have earned some back.

The way I understand it, reduced down in a way that hopefully OP can 
follow, is that a more accurate representation of gravity (general 
relativity) has TWO terms for the rate of bend. There is a term that is 
proportional to G and this is the term that survives even in the low 
speed approximation. But there is an additional term that comes from the 
curvature of spacetime, which corresponds to the familiar Newtonian 
expression for the centripetal acceleration: v^2 / r. The radius of 
curvature of spacetime is c^2 / G, and so substituting in, this term is 
then G(v/c)^2. Combining both terms, you get
G + G(v/c)^2.
This applies to BOTH light and for matter, so strictly speaking, it is 
not different for light and for matter at all.

But if the matter is slow moving (v<<c), then the second term is 
negligibly small and so the only part that remains is the first term, 
which is what Newton was aware of.

When it is light, though, v=c and so the second term is just as big as 
the first term, hence the factor of 2. But it also would apply to a 
proton moving at nearly the speed of light.

So, basically, the CORRECT answer for the deflection of ANYTHING by 
gravity is proportional to G[ 1+(v/c)^2 ], and there is no physical 
reason to explain about a difference in the freefall of ordinary matter 
and of light because they are the SAME. It's just that the INCORRECT 
answer (given by Newton) happens to be "ok enough" when v<<c and the 
term in [ ] is indistinguishable from 1.

Such a nonsense, it is not even wrong.

To begin with, the curvature of a spacetime is a *tensor* *field*.

tensors are grown in the South of France, a summer crop, in large 
fields, they are a cross between a carrot and onion. You dont see them 
in the US.

"Tensor Field" is a famous brand name.

You have "reduced" so much whatever understanding of general relativity you 
might have that the resulting explanation is utter nonsense of the form “not 
even wrong”.

AISB, the curvature of a spacetime is a *tensor* *field*; the curvature 
values for each point of that spacetime are *higher-rank* *tensors*.  For 
the spacetime in the vicinity of a massive body the curvature is not zero, 
and it is *different* for each point/event of that spacetime compared to 
neighboring points/events.  IOW, the curvature of that spacetime is _not_ 
constant over that spacetime even for a body at relative rest; it follows 
from the definition of the radius of curvature that the radius of curvature 
is not constant, too.  Whereas c and G are *constant* *scalars*, and so is 
your c²∕G – it *cannot* describe the radius/radii of curvature in the 
vicinity of massive object correctly.

I strongly recommend that you read, *carefully*, *at least*:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curvature>
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_general_relativity>
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_curvature_tensor>

Also, this should be discussed in <news:sci.physics.relativity> instead.

xxein:  ...which can be further reduced to 1/r^2.

On the other hand the greater math describes the mechanics in a curved space-time without describing the mechanics of how it came to be formed in the first place.  That is - why is there a gravity and how does it curve space-time?  And that can be elevated to - what is gravity?

But why stop there?  What is the difference between myth (model, imagination) and reality?  Can reality be described without myth?  Define reality.  Is there a sub-basic difference between matter and energy?  **What is?**  **Why?**

Can we remain satisfied to know less?

BTDT.

I do not read the OP because they are posting via the source of spam and 
trolls, Google Groups, and I have all Google Groups posters, with the 
exception of one who posts reasonably, automagically killfiled unless they 
follow-up to one of my postings.  So thanks, but no, thanks.

And what for?  The OP is obviously a science crank, their question is bogus 
(they confuse physical objects with physical quantities, a common indication 
of a science crank), and in the wrong newsgroup; their request is in fact a 
bait, and if interpreted in a benevolent way, it cannot reasonably be 
fulfilled.  One needs an explanation involving math, in particular one needs 
to discuss *differential geometry*, to come even close to a correct 
explanation of general relativity, the *only* theory so far that predicted 
that and correctly explains why massive objects bend light.

So why have you taken the bait, replying to the OP’s nonsense with even 
greater nonsense?  You could have just ignored them, saving free time and 
your face in the process.

With that out of the way, I am curious, though: Why did you think that the 
(radius of) curvature of spacetime in the vicinity of a massive object would 
be constant?

I didn't mean to confuse you.

And I do understand that there are people with learning disabilities, 
difficulties, drugs, alcohol, problems, intellectually disfunctional 
like you.

But Don't worry about physics or science, others can do that work. Your 
talents are needed growing carrots or radishes, perhaps the pulling them 
out of the ground and putting them in the basket phase.

Feel better now ?
