On Gravitation

Now here’s the fun part. How does this theory tie in with gravitation? Let’s consider again what we have previously discussed about the wave theory of distance. Take an ideal system with only a few particles. Each has an associated element of their wave function which denotes the ratio of perceived distance between each particle. Let’s say that the positional wave acts like interference on the waves of the other particles and that they are out of phase. The waves interact with each other and try to cancel each other out. As they do this the ‘value’ of the wave decreases and with it the perceived distance also decreases. If two of the particles are closer, their wave functions are already closer in phase and act constructively to create a more powerful combined wave. The single wave is pulled into phase with the combined wave. This is the basic idea anyway. I need to tighten this up considerably. There seems to me to be a problem in that it would seem that two particles would eventually come completely into phase and be occupying the same perceived position which doesn’t happen under normal conditions. The wave must behave in a more complicated fashion. The other implication of the parallel between the light and distance waves is the ability to extrapolate the idea to the graviton. If light could be perceived as displaying particle behavior in observable space then might we be able to see a graviton working. I don’t think so. I would imagine that any influence that a ‘graviton’ under this model would have would result in a change in position invisibly. Not sure if that in itself would be what you would expect from a graviton or not but that’s my feeling. The theory doesn’t really support the idea that photons and ‘gravitons’ are anything like real particles any more than we would say that light waves are like water waves. They might follow similar rules but are entirely different entities.
