The Source of Gravitational Energy

When one applies the correct relativistic transformations to the
gravitational field, the source of gravitational energy becomes apparent.
Unfortunately, due to a sophomoric error in the derivation of General
Relativity, it has become accepted that the relativistic transformations for
gravity a

Force = 1
Length = 1
Time = 1/(1+$)

Where "1/(1+$)" is the time transformation as provided by General Relativity
(GTR).

Unfortunately, the error in its generation made the mathematics impossible
of solution within the constraints of three dimensional Euclidian Geometry and
it took 18 months for a solution to be obtained. (The 18 months were not used
up in solving the matrix equation, as current writings would have you believe,
earlier writings revealed that they represented the length of time it took for
Dr. Einstein to adapt the geometry of Riemann. Unfortunately all geometries are
based upon the faulty description of a straight line which is implicit in all
current geometries but which does not disrupt Euclidean Geometry. In applying
Riemannian Geometry, Dr. Einstein added the fiction of curved space and added
the spurious degree of freedom needed to solve his equations. This approach was
accepted by a conference on the subject with the statement "why shouldn't we
consider space to be curved, no one can prove it isn't. (Actually the proof is
quite simple and is provided in http:/www.members.aol.com/reticher2/gravs.htm).
The acceptance of "curved space" provided a term for the curvature as a
function of the gravitational field. Surprise, surprise, that curvature term
turned out to be equal to the term for time.

When one applies the legitimate rules of measurement (as is required in
any of the more mundane fields of Science and Engineering) and accepted and
easily verified physical laws to the study of the gravitational field, one
finds it possible to rigorously derive a different set of gravitational
transformations which do not require space to be curved and which yield results
which are in agreement with all observations and accepted physical laws:

Force = 1
Length = 1/(1-$)
Time = (1-$)

(The term "$" is identical with the equivalent term in General
Relativity).Testing these transformations against observation reveals that they
yield the same conclusions within the Solar Field and in comparison with
observations of massive and/or dense stars as does GTR to an accuracy well
beyond experimental capabilities. There is one important difference, however.
They reveal that the end result of gravitational collapse is not a singularity
but is a stable object the size of its horizon radius. THEY ALSO REVEAL THE
SOURCE OF GRAVITATIONAL ENERGY.

In a F(orce)-L(ength)-T(ime) system of units, the dimensional content of
energy is F*L. Since the gravitational transformation for length is unity, this
means that the gravitational transformation for energy is equal to the
gravitational transformation for Length and is therefore equal to 1/(1-$). If
we accept that the Principle of Relativity applies, the locally measured mass
equivalent energy of an object must remain unchanged as it moves to a different
elevation reference frame.
In order to meet this requirement, the move to a different elevation in the
gravitational field must cause the object to gain or lose energy in terms of
the units of measurement for energy existing at its original location. To do
this, a force must exist in the vertical direction. The product of this force
and the distance of fall is the energy of fall.

If we apply this process to an object falling from a quasi-infinite
distance to the event horizon, we find that, in terms of the units of
measurement existing at the quasi-infinite radius, the gravitational
transformation for energy shows that the object converts all of its rest mass
equivalent energy to kinetic energy. When it reaches the event horizon and its
velocity equals the velocity of light, the original rest mass equivalent energy
has become zero because it has been converted to kinetic energy (all as
measured with the units of measurement existing at the quasi-infinite radius).
In terms of the units of measurement existing at the event horizon however, the
rest mass equivalent energy of the object is unchanged and the kinetic energy
is infinite.

Since Relativity is all about observations made in systems where the size
of the units of measurement are affected by elevation and/or velocity,
Dimensional Analysis is required to deal rationally with the process. Despite
this, I have received an E-mail from an individual who strongly asserted that
Dimensional Analysis is of no benefit in the study of velocity and
gravitational effect. The frightening thing in this E-mail is that the sender
is probably an academic busily damaging the minds of his students.

EVERYTHING WHICH WE ACCEPT AS TRUE MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH EVERYTHING ELSE WE
HAVE ACCEPTED AS TRUE, IT MUST BE CONSISTENT WITH ALL OBSERVATIONS, AND IT MUST
BE MATHEMATICALLY VIABLE. PRESENT TEACHINGS DO NOT ALWAYS MEET THIS
REQUIREMENT. THE WORLD IS ENTITLED TO A HIGHER STANDARD OF WORKMANSHIP FROM
THOSE IT HAS GRANTED WORLD CLASS STATUS.
