Gravity
and Space
Section 4
Gravity at Work
Space
enters
1) We keep in mind these two pertinent
physical properties of space:
(1) Space is continuous.
(2) Space "owns" the magnetic field.

We will illustrate our version of "how gravity works" by asking two simple
questions: (1) What holds us to the ground? (2) What keeps the
Moon in orbit around the Earth?
As mentioned in Section 3, any meaningful definition
of gravity involves two (or more) objects--or
material bodies.
In this example, the two objects are
you and the ground. ("The ground", of course, means
the surface of the Earth.) So we could say: the Earth
is one
body (or object) and you are the other.

Another way to say
this is "space inside
the boundry of an
object has a
stronger tendency
to be conntinous
with itself than
space outside of the
boundry."
3) Space does not discriminate
between the sub-atomic
particles of your body and
those of the earth. The effect
is that the earth's body and
your body constitute one,
single, continuous field of
MAS. (Again, represented by
the red grid.)
Likewise is so for the Earth-moon system and the sun. Also for the sun
and all the planets in the solar system. Even, as we look around at the rest
of the cosmos, we see that a virtual continuum between fields of Material
Altered Space
is not such a bad description of the way things actually are.
The MAS of Earth and the MAS of the moon
are virtually continuous via the continuous
magnetic field property of space.
What holds the moon in orbit
around the Earth?
What holds us to the ground?
(Using you for an example.)
Note: It is helpful to be familiar with the ideas in Section 3
before approaching this section.
2) Continuous Space, carrying with it
its magnetic field property, permeates
the boundaries of both your body and
the Earth's body--from the outside,
through the boundary, to the inside of
each body. (Denoted by blue arrow.)
Its magnetic field property interacts
with the ongoing electric and magnetic
fields of moving sub-atomic particles
occurring in both bodies, establishing a
field of MAS [Material Altered Space]
inside the boundary of each body.
(Represented by the red grid.)
4) Since the magnetic property of
space is relatively condensed in
MAS, so too is the property of
continuousness proportionately
increased (or intensified).
<<This image shows the magnetic lines of force
around an ordinary bar magnet. The lines show
that the magnetic field is denser at the poles of
the magnet than in the regions further away
from the poles.
Similarly, we can expect the magnetic field of
space to be somewhat more condensed inside
the boundary of an object than outside the
boundary. This, of course, is due to the magnetic
fields' encounters with moving charges inside the
boundary...all according to Maxwell.
Gravity at Work:
In other words, Material Altered Space (MAS)
has a relativly condensed magnetic field.
What holds us to the ground?:
Space permeates the surface (or field boundary) of each body--you and the earth. The
magnetic-field property of space interacts with the sub-atomic particles in each body,
establishing a field that we are calling
MAS (Material Altered Space) in both bodies.
Space does not distinguish between the sub-atomic particles of your body and those of
the Earth (since all like sub-atomic particles are virtually identical.) The effect is that
the Earth's body and your body constitute one, single, continuous field of MAS.
Just as space outside the boundary of MAS is continuous, so is this property retained
within the MAS--only its physical effect is increased (due to its association with a
relatively condensed magnetic field of MAS). It is this increased tendency of MAS in
your body to be continuous with the MAS of the Earth that holds you to the ground.

characteristics of magnetic fields.)
5) It is this intensified
property of continuisness
in the 'You/Earth MAS
field'
that keeps you from
drifting away from the
surface of the earth.
Within the framework of the ideas so far
expressed, the answer to this question might be
nearly self evident. To be sure, it is brief.
Each, the body of the Earth and the body of the moon contain a MAS field
within its field boundary (or surface.) Since the continuous magnetic-field
property of space not only permeates each body (moon and Earth), but
occupies the spaces between those bodies, the MAS of Earth and MAS of the
moon
are virtually continuous. Hence, the Earth and its moon are physically
attached to each other; as if they were one, continuous field entity.
Where a magnetic field is relatively condensed,
the effect of its physical properties are
proportionately increased (or intensified). By
association, we might suppose that the effect
of the physical property of continuousness (of
space) is also intensified.
(Granted, this seems a nebulous concept...but
we keep in mind that continuousness is a real
physical property
(of space); just as a real
physical property of matter is that it is
discontinuous
.)

2a) Here the nucleus and
even the nucleons,
themselves, are considered
as highly condensed
electromagnetic fields or
interactions.
A note on the nucleus: We have reason to view each nucleon as, basically, a highly condensed
electromagnetic field; and, also, the powerful interaction between nucleons as electromagnetic
in nature. Subsequently, the nucleus, itself, is translucent to the magnetic field property of
space; is endowed with the property of mass; and is subject to gravitation. Please see this
website's Matter
section, where we explore this topic further; with a concept of "soft matter".
