Action at a Distance: A Unification of Gravity and Electromagnetism - 9030

The unification of gravity and electromagnetism is one of the greatest challenges in physics. Relativity is thought to provide the best explanation for gravity, and quantum mechanics the best explanation for electromagnetism. There are major problems with the explanation of action at a distance by these theories, which is why many physicists when queried about the mechanism for these forces will say "we don't know”. This book discusses these problems and then presents a new testable theory that readily describes a mechanism for these forces and unifies an understanding of gravity and electromagnetism. This revolutionary theory also explains gravitational lensing, gravitational red shift, the "relativistic" doppler effect, and the behavior of atomic clocks in orbit as in the GPS. In addition, it provides a physical basis for inertia and shows why inertial mass and gravitational mass are not the same. It also provides some potential explanations for dark energy. Finally, the reader will gain a novel and fascinating understanding of gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, and momentum. Designed for students, scientists, and curious readers, the book builds step by step from foundational concepts to rigorous mathematical arguments. Each chapter concludes with a summary to reinforce key ideas. A proposed experiment in Chapter 21 offers a practical way to test and potentially falsify the theory—an essential quality of any scientific model. If you’ve ever doubted the completeness of modern physics, this book is your invitation to explore a compelling new frontier.
