Disjointed Equivalence of Gravitational and Inertial Mass

Abstract

Problem-Contemporary physics offers no underlying reason for the equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass. Approach-The equivalence is examined from the new physics provided by the cordus theory, being a non-local hidden-variable (NLHV) theory. Mathematical formalisms are derived for masses and observers in different fabric densities. Findings-A disjointed equivalence is predicted, whereby inertial and gravitational masses are equivalent in any one situation, but a different equivalence holds when the fabric densities change. Consequently this theory predicts that the gravitational constant G varies with fabric density, and hence would be different

Fresnel Equations Derived Using a Non-Local Hidden-Variable Particle Theory

“…The argument presented in this manuscript does not depend on the case for a deeper unification of gravitation and the strong force, as described elsewhere [20] [25] [26]. Nonetheless a key conceptual part of the present paper is that of the proposed emission field structures, so it is necessary that these field structures be described.…”

“…Another limitation of the paper is the lack of an overarching mathematical formulation for the Cordus theory. There are components of mathematical formulation available [19] [20] [26]. Furthermore the theory has a strong logical coherence in terms of its lemmas and principles, as demonstrated in its breadth of applicability [1] [19]- [32] [38] [40]- [49].…”
