gravitation speed

[rickard]

Hi,

According to the information regarding the alleged "collision between two black holes", that was supposed to have occurred nine billion light years away or so, the subsequent "gravitation wave" traveled "at the speed of light" for 5 billion years until it was observed here on earth.
My question is: Is not gravitation instantaneous?
Would not the "ripples in space time", if they had existed, have reached earth "at once" ?

What is the true speed of gravitation ?

What is the true speed of gravitation ?

We do not know exactly.
Einstein promoted the idea of light-speed gravity, because in his model
nothing can go faster than light.

There are many of the Electric Universe that think that gravity is instantaneous or
much faster than light.
But if gravity has an electric origin, as Walthorn claims, it should move with
the speed of light.

Pure electric attraction, between charged pencil and dielectric bubble. (1/R³ force)

I personally object against the "evidence" for the gravitational waves. Because there is so
much speculation, statistics and noise in it. I have seen much better evidence for UFOs and ghosts.
Additionally there is a lot of problems with much of the claimed "evidence" for general relativity.
Things like Einstein crosses/rings, Black holes etc, seem flawed.

The evidence for speed of gravity:

The orbits of moon and planets themselves show precession.

The cause for this is not clear yet, but it is seen as evidence for Einstein's gravity.

Additionally there is good evidence for time-dilation due to gravity. With atomic clocks
we can see changes in time depending on the height of the clock. (But I still have to
see some good examples of these tests).

The orbits do not lose energy, but instead gain energy. The moon moves away from earth,
and the earth moves away from the sun. This is opposite of what Einstein claims.

The Gravity Probe B showed a zero change in space/time, which might indicate a problem
with Einstein's idea. But also with the fairness of the science around it.

The precession can also be influenced by charged planets, magnetism, or solar wind.
And I think this would be interesting to check out.

As bonus here is the gravity distribution around earth:

This map was obtained via acceleration

Thanks for your comment,
I saw a video lecture with W Thornhill where he meant that the "gravitation waves" from the "black hole collision" should have been registered at the exact same time since gravitation is instantaneous. But there was a difference between the measure points in southern and northern US.
And .... if gravitation is instantaneous, why did the "waves" have to travel for a billion years in order to reach the earth?

As I see it there are no such thing as gravitation waves that moves through the non existing "space time"....

Since the micro cosmos must be infinite, I think that the particles far down in micro cosmos must move with a speed that is much higher than the speed of light, (based on the fact that everything goes faster the further down in micro cosmos one get) So maybe the gravitation is an micro electric force that travel with a speed that exceed the speed of light thousands of times. So it can thus be electric and still travel faster than light...
I think that I read somewhere that some scientist had proposed that theory ..... he talked about "subtrones" if I'm not wrong ....

There is lots of stuff on google re gravity speed. Lots of it is rubbish, claiming infinite speed & the speed of light. I believe that the speed is at least 20 billion c (Van Flandern & Co).

If gravity is electric (ie due to em radiation) then its speed must be at the speed of light or a bit faster (eg 5c)(in the nearfield at least). In other words gravity aint electric.

Gravity is due to the acceleration of (sub-quantum) aether, the fundamental essence (Conrad Ranzan)(Reginald Cahill), which flows into all mass where it is annihilated.

If gravity is electric (ie due to em radiation)

I am not sure, but I think this version is a related to the photon pressure
that every object gives. To restore the energy, the gravity compensates the photon pressure.

In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg relationship also gives us gravity.
This is a bit similar to the above idea, and much more mainstream.

Mainstream believes that photons are em radiation & em radiation is photons. No, em radiation is photaenos, which radiate out from the main helical body of every free photon (light) & every confined photon (electrons quarks etc).
Therefore one might talk of photaeno pressure, not photon pressure.

hi,
The gravity of on the earth and space are different forces.
Gravity in space is a complex combination of electric attraction and repulsion by plasma.
Because it works remotely, it will be millions of times the speed of light, as Tom Van Flandern claims.

The important thing is that gravity on earth is a mechanism different from space.

Universal gravity is the biggest mistake in physics history.

How can we know that "the gravity of on the earth and space are different forces" ?

The universe has a repulsive force. Galileo and Kepler were wondering why the planets do not collide. Newton devised a universal gravity ignoring the repulsive force. Gravity alone does not stabilize the planet's revolution. The balance between centrifugal force and attractive force is the same as riding on a razor blade.

i propose a test for this.
we see class 1a supernovae all the time, we won't have to look billions of light years away.
this kind of nova is 2 stars colliding. if we can detect their gravitational waves and view the explosion, then these 2 events should occur at the same time if gravity attracts at the speed of light.

Maybe you should present your proposal to the LIGO people ....

rickard - could u offer a link to where i might present this proposal to the LIGO people?

I wrote post for LIGO before.

LIGO detected not the gravity wave but the SLF wave

LIGO is a very insensitive antenna for SLF(super low frequency).

I must be missing something.
A, Two Black Holes collide, and we detect a CHIRP ?
Really, a CHIRP !
B, Or, How does a super low frequency signal give a CHIRP ?
Would not a super low frequency take longer than a chirp time to happen ?
I must be missing something.
