ABSTRACT:
Two significant findings compel a rethink of physical theories.
First, using a 7-billion-year-old gamma-ray burst, Nemiroff (2012) showed
that quantum foam could not exists. And second, Solomon (2011) showed
that gravitational acceleration is not associated with the gravitating mass,
that gravitational acceleration g is
determined solely by τ the change in
time dilation over a specific height multiplied by c2 or g = τc2.
Seeking consistency with Special Theory of Relativity, as means to initiate
this rethink, this paper examines 12 inconsistencies in physical theories that
manifest from empirical data. The purpose of this examination is to identify
how gravitational theories need to change or be explored, to eliminate these 12
inconsistencies. It is then proposed that spacetime is much more sophisticated
than just a 4-dimensional continuum. And, that the Universe consists of at
least two layers or “kenos” (Greek for vacuous), the 4-dimensional kenos,
spacetime (x, y, z, t) and the 3-dimensional kenos,
subspace (x, y, z) that are joined at
the space coordinates (x, y, z). This explains why electromagnetic waves are transverse, and how
probabilities are implemented in Nature. This paper concludes by proposing two
new instruments and one test, to facilitate research into gravitational fields,
the new torsion-, tension- and stress-free near field gravity probe, the
gravity wave telescope, and a non-locality test.
