- THE PROBLEM OF GRAVITATION has defied a
popular explanation and remains beyond the grasp of most
applications oriented scientists being confined mainly to
the theorists of Einstein's general relativity.
- GRAVITATIONAL ACTION presents a new
theory of gravitation based on the theory of waves. It
does not require previous knowledge beyond the basic
ideas of waves, special relativity, and the elementary
differential equations to enable the reader to understand
gravitation with a minimum expenditure of time and
effort. The new theory is alternative to the highly
geometrized general theory.
- THE NEW THEORY characterizes mass as
having a frequency w and wavenumber k and visualizes
space as being a continuum in which frequencies and
wavenumbers beat together to produce reinforcements and
cancellations of waves whose appearance and motion is
what we call mass. In this view, mass is a local buildup
in the continuum of space and time and what we perceive
is the relative change of the energy (proportional to
frequency) and momentum (proportional to wavenumber) at
each location of the space-time continuum.
- CONTENTS: The first seven chapters apply
modern wave theory to describe the motions of planetary
mass, photons and gravitions. Chapters eight through ten
describe the influence of remote mass, the motion of
sources and massive objects. The eleventh chapter
summarizes the issues of gravitation: relativity,
relativity and gravitation, action at a distance,
inertial forces, gravitons and photons, gravitational
radiation, gravitational metric, Mach's principle,
equivalence and gravitation, boundary values and universe
coupling and thermodynamic irreversibility. The last
chapter provides the basic ideas for practical
gravitational detectors and indicates the requirement for
a high-Q resonating mass detector.
- AUTHOR James Constant has a deep
interest in the subject of gravitation and brings a new
look to a field whose numerous practical applications
have been stymied by the lack of a working results
producing theory.
