PLANETS ORBIT THE SUN TO CONSERVE TOTAL ENERGY THE FORCE OF GRAVITY IS AN ILLUSION Copyright 1984-2004 Allen C. Goodrich
Gravitational effect is the result of an acceleration of mass. Galileo demonstrated this. Newton assumed that this was caused by a force of gravity between all masses. Was this a correct assumption? Einstein and many other scientists felt that there must be more to gravitation than an attraction at a distance. Action at a distance was considered to be impossible in the absence of a transfer of energy at the speed of light.
Hubble then showed that the distant Galaxies were moving away from the earth and that the universe was expanding in all directions. If this is true , What else must be true?
- The potential energy of the rest of the universe must be decreasing relative to the mass of the earth.
It has long been assumed that the first law of thermodynamics, which says that the total energy of the universe is a constant, was a fact of nature. If this is true what then.
- The kinetic energy of the universe must be increasing at the same rate that the potential energy is decreasing as the universe expands.
How is this possible? Masses must be accelerating, because, kinetic energy change is the result of an acceleration. But all orbital masses are accelerating toward the center of the earth or some other mass. Why would this occur otherwise?
- Orbital motion could then be the result of the expansion of the universe. The Gravitational illusion could be the result.
Based on the first law of thermodynamics The total mass energy of the universe is a constant. (total kinetic (mass) energy plus total potential energy is a constant). m(2 pi L)^2 / t^2 + G (M-m)m / L = A constant. m is any mass say that of the earth.
Delta m (2 pi L)^2 / t^2 = - Delta G (M-m)m/L follows mathematically.
Delta m 4 pi^2 L^2 /t^2 = Delta - G (M-m)m / L or the modified Newton equation for gravity can be derived,but only when L is the orbital distance. The earth orbit is a result of an energy equilibrium, ( the absence of a change of total energy ) and not the result of a force of gravity between masses. Force of gravity is the resulting illusion assumed by Newton to be a force.
If a planet (say earth) moved away from the sun its potential energy would decrease as L increased. Its kinetic energy would decrease because it is no longer accelerating toward the sun in orbital motion. Total energy would have to decrease. A very great change of total energy would have to take place.
POTENTIAL ENERGY = G(M-m)m/L KINETIC ENERGY = m(2 pi L)^2/t^2 m(2 pi L)^2/t^2 + G(M-m)m/L = A constant = M G= Gravitational constant; M = total energy of the universe (or effective universe) ; m = mass in question. t = time ; L = radial distance.
No mechanism exists for this to occur rapidly. So it could not happen. The magnitudes of kinetic and potential energies of planets and moons travelling in orbital motion are equal and any increase or decrease of orbital distance L results in an equal change in magnitude of both.This is the only value of L where no change of total energy will occur if the value of L changes. At any other distance L, an increase of kinetic energy will be at a different rate than potential energy decreases. Orbital motion conserves total energy. Force of gravity isn't needed to explain orbital motion or any other motion at a distance.
GRAVITY MECHANICS AND RESEARCH ON ASTRONOMICAL OCEAN TIDES Copyright 1984 to 2002 Allen C. Goodrich
An examination of United States Coast and Geodetic Survey Tidal Data, which was gathered by extensive measurements over long periods of time,was compared with astronomical data showing the phases of the moon at corresponding times for many years. This correlation of the two sets of data revealed a very interesting fact, in a manner that had never before been mentioned in the literature. It is invariably and exactly the lowest tide that exists directly under the full and new moons at deep ocean ports.

CONCLUSION: No discrepancies were found in the occurence of exactly the lowest tide directly under the full and new moons, at deep ocean ports. A lowest tide also occurs on the earth's ocean directly opposite the new and full moons.
SIGNIFICANCE: One must admit that this is beyond question one of the most important discoveries of modern physics research. It indicates that a change must be made in the theory of gravitation. One can no longer assume that a force between the moon and the water of the earth's oceans, is causing the ocean tides. The force of gravity must be an illusion caused by some other, more basic, reason. What would this be? If the total energy ( kinetic and potential ) of the universe is assumed to be a constant,from this fundamental equation, many interesting things follow. If the rest of the universe is expanding ( potential energy decreasing) relative to masses, the masses must be shrinking ( increasing in kinetic energy ) (gravitation) relative to the rest of the universe.
THE FIRST LAW OF MOTION-(GOODRICH)
Copyright 1984 to 2002 ALLEN C. GOODRICH
A body (m) continues in a state of rest (equilibrium) or motion in a straight or curved line (equilibrium) as long as no change occurs in its total (kinetic and potential) energy, relative to the rest of the effective universe (M-m),
Delta m(2 pi L)^2/t^2 = - Delta K(M-m)m/L
equilibrium = no change in the total energy relative to the rest of the effective universe (M-m).
^ = to the power of. Orbital motion complies with this equation. This equation is derived from the fundamental equation of the universe which states that the total energy of the universe is a constant. The sum of kinetic and potential energies is a constant. m(2 pi L)^2/t^2 + K(M-m)m/L = A constant.
INERTIA AND MOMENTUM are the properties of a mass that evidence its reluctance to change its total energy, or it is its need to maintain a constant total energy. If it could more easily obtain or lose energy, it would have less inertia or momentum.
