GRAVITY WAVES
An alternate hypothesis

Yet another Joseph Sixpackian Hypothesis:
Spacetime warpage exists due to existing mass.
Where there is no new mass there is no new spacetime
warpage.
Right or Wrong?
answer: wrong
Except
You would expect the answer to be "right". Mass completely
controls spacetime warpage. The bigger the dirt clod, the
more gravity. sounds reasonable. The bigger the meadow
muffin on the bottom of your shoe, the heavier it feels.
Or is that related to gravity at all?
Spacetime warpage, by the way is just a fancy way of saying
gravity. Or is that gravity is a bad way of saying
spacetime warpage. Have no doubt, physicists are a breed
apart. Mathematicians all, they are a really symbol minded
group. They tell me that they can even make metal explode.
(uranium).
Anyhow, when an existing black hole or perhaps even when a
lesser massed, visible system collapses due to its great
mass, (external pressures) it places the gravity causing
gravatronic (new word!) elements within the collapsed plasma
closer together and thereby releasing a lot of energy in the
process.
The collapse increases the density and therefore the
effectiveness and efficiency of the polar linkage of the
quantum polar spacetime warping elements in the quantum
particle and therefore increases the warpage of spacetime
(gravity). Pitooey! boy, that was a mouthful... now
gargle.
This increased (due to collapse) warped spacetime field
(gravitation) value might then propagate out at c or at
whatever rate the physicists have democratically voted on to
let its neighbors know that there is more "pull" from that
collapsed dirt clod.
And as you might have guessed, fieldlike, the gravity
weakens, and weakens, and weakens, over the distances like
any good field should. In fact, the physicists even have a
formula for it. I do too, somewhere. Just don't ask me to
find it.
So, the answer is: wrong. Gravitation increases when the
effectiveness of the gravity causing mechanisms within the
mass increases. The closer together the "gravitrons" are
the better they are at warping spacetime.
Now when the mass collapses, it showers/emits/gives off, a
great amount of radiation or other plasma type elements
"squeezed out" from the collapsing mass and then which go
forth and in so doing strike other particles with some force
and cause a shower of light and possible other emissions on
other wavelengths and bonk protons and other mysterious
thingys out in space, sending them on their way like being
hit by a cue ball or zorked along magnetically.
If a collapse occurs within a black hole, another situation
occurs, and that is an "IF they can escape the black hole
otherwise, they are contained on the outside of the solid
but inside the event horizon as somewhat nasty hi-powered
radiation, buzzing about a central very dense hard ball.
As an aside hypothesis, there are no real or actual
singularities inside a black hole other than those that are
mathematically defined, just compressed trash from the
cosmic trash compacter. In fact, at the center of a black
hole there is NO gravity! think about it. All the mass
surrounding the center forms a zero gravity point.
A zero gravity point is not a "singularity"
Joes are a little confused about singularities anyhow. For
joes there are only event horizons, places that you can't
see and don't appear to be there unless you are too close.
Say again?
Let me restate that:
IF the squirted out plasma and radiation escapes the
collapsing mass, it by so doing, decreases the mass or
particle count within the collapsing mass. So you would
expect a decrease in spacetime warpage (gravity) because of
less current mass.
BUT the new collapsed mass plasma is now closer together and
may be more efficient and effective in generating even more
spacetime warpage. Go figure...
Any retained particle plasma would be acretted again to the
solid mass if it lies within the event horizon or if its
escape velocity was less than any area in which it found
itself. The "particles" and the radiation probably would
just do a magnetic or gravitational arc thing and return.
hear ye, hear ye
All about gravitational waves
Upon collapse, the newly collapsed mass would be announcing its
new gravitational status by creating higher spacetime warpage,
and possibly sending forth the long sought after mystical
gravitational wave at some velocity to be agreed upon later.
No Waves
Hypothesis: If the system was a binary or higher one then
even after collapse, we would have rotating periodic warped
spacetime distortions existing due to a rotating binary
gravitational mass or masses and thereby creating a rotating
binary or higher event horizons situation. (boy, that
sounds like a lumpy operation)
it wouldn't produce more propagating 'waves' of detectable
changing warped spacetime (gravity) because there is no new
mass, but just a local oscillation of gravitational density
values. that is, the amount of warpage would just go round
and round, but just locally. warped spacetime doesn't give off
"waves" unless mass itself is being oscillated into and out of
existence which for the life of me, i can't see happening.
The real gravity wave would propagate out at c only once after the
collapse of the generating mass. Now that is not to say that the
binary orbiter wouldn't be beating against something in space
during its rotations, causing pulses of wavefront radiation to be
sent forth, but not gravity waves.
Oscillating Spacetime Warpage at Home
Let's examine that concept on the kitchen table a little bit
closer. Get your big lazy susan out and place two basket-
balls on it. Get a fishscale and stick a fish on the hook
park of it and hold the fishscale close to the binary
basketballs on the lazy susan. Let the surface of the
basketballs equal the diameter of both event horizons.
Now spin the susan 'round & 'round while holding the
fishscale with the fish on it close to the revolving
basketballs.
Notice that the "event horizon" of the binaries passes close
increasing the imaginary gravitational attraction and then
extends the distance (lessening gravitational forces) and
then close again to the fish on the scale.
The weight of the fish increases or decreases as the binary
black hole event horizons pass by. This is an example of
the warped spacetime (gravitational) oscillations of thingys
out in space. But the oscillations do not propagate. The
oscillating warped spacetime dimensions are sort of like
thick yucky plastic cement getting stirred up.
Warp is all we do
Warped spacetime would simply warp around a given mass and
stay warped until mass either increased or decreased.
Hypermassive binary black hole systems in fast orbit simply
oscillate or carry the warpage with them during orbit
periods in a non-propagating fashion.
More or Less
Upon a massive physical collapse, or perhaps under a Nova
condition when things explode and reduce the effectiveness
of the gravitron (gravalump) linkage, is when the field
things change enough to pump a gravity wave out either
announcing more spacetime warpage or less spacetime warpage.
Warping in place
Otherwise nothing gravitationally new is sent forth.
Gravitationally, everything regarding warpage, just stays in
place and just warps and that is all it does.
No propagation.
.
How fast can a jitter jitter?
An interesting issue is whether a binary system of hyper-
massive proportions, orbiting at near c or higher (if
possible) velocity would impact its own spacetime warpage?
That is, how fast can spacetime warpage follow the object
that is doing the warpage occur? Faster than c or limited
to c? Smoking shockwaves Sparky!
What would be the velocity of the spacetime warpage around
the hypermassive binaries in orbit if orbiting faster than
c?
Would the warpage have to play catchup?
How far behind could warpage get if the mass was traveling
faster than c?
And more importantly, can any of this theoretical stuff ever
be verified by observation?
Relative?
It isn't very clear to me yet how warped spacetime could be
detected even if you were placed near moving event horizon
oscillations or even gravitational oscillations as the whole
system would alternate. There wouldn't be any method that i
can think of to measure relative changes from a single fixed
testing position. i am sure there is a way but by me...
That is your job.
So finally, Joe Sixpack maintains that Periodic warped
spacetime distortions due to a binary orbit don't produce
propagating or traveling gravity waves. they simply
distort, in the carousel area of their orbit, spacetime.
Yeah but...
Yeah but, what if mass IS continually coming into existence
from nothing (existing big bang extensions) and altering
spacetime with warpage. How fast does that travel?
Would/Does warpage propagate at c?
It is as good a guess as any.
But who says mass is continually being generated? If an
'expanding' universe is continually squirting toothpaste out
of an invisible tube, yeah well, then, maybe spacetime
warpage would putt-putt around too. But my best guess is
that nothing of the sort is happening. But it is a guess.
But things keep getting worse
If an ever expanding universe is continually squirting
toothpaste out of a tube, what must the situation be in a
universe where the expansion rate is accelerating? Well,
evermore toothpaste is being squirted out with an ever
larger hole for the evergrowing toothpaste tube. Now
everybody knows that tubes of toothpaste don't get bigger
sitting on the shelf. give me a break. sheesh!
But what if the cosmos was closed? Then the toothpaste
would keep squirting out until there wasn't any room for
anymore. Nothing but mass and no space left to put it in.
yuk. the whole thing collapses again into a nothingness.
Is anybody sane around here?
Gravity waves... an interesting concept...
time for my nap...
Anyhow, in sum, it's a joseph_sixpack hypothesis, that
warped spacetime does not send out gravity waves only a
change in effective mass either up or down can do that.
Now with respect to laser interferometers, electrons in wires zoom
along at about 200-300 miles per hour i remember reading once a
long time ago in a galaxy far away. The gravity wave would zoom
up to and across the detector at a speed of c. i doubt that any
electron would have time to do anything. the strain gauges might
register something, once...
oh well, it is just a joe sixpack idea anyhow...
a thorny issue indeed... :-)
