Dynamic Theory of Gravity
Dynamic theory of gravity
Nikola Tesla's Dynamic Theory of
Gravity was never published. Although Tesla never published his
theory, his proposition that gravity is a field effect is now given more serious
consideration by physicists than it was at the time he suggested it. At the
time, his critique on Einstein's work was considered by the scientific
establishment to exceed the bounds of reason.
According to Tesla's biographer,
Robert Lomas in his book, The Man Who Invented the Twentieth Century,
Tesla published a statement on his 81st birthday in
1937,
critiquing
Einstein's
theory of relativity. While this statement indicated that Tesla had "worked
out a dynamic theory of gravity" that he soon hoped to give to the world,
he died before he publicised the details. Few details were revealed by Tesla
about his theory. Those that were are basic arguments against space being curved
by gravitational effects.
"... Supposing that the bodies act upon the surrounding
space causing curving of the same, it appears to my simple mind that the
curved spaces must react on the bodies, and producing the opposite effects,
straightening out the curves. Since action and reaction are coexistent, it
follows that the supposed curvature of space is entirely impossible - But even
if it existed it would not explain the motions of the bodies as observed. Only
the existence of a field of forces can account for them and its assumptions
dispenses with space curvature. ... " - Nikola Tesla
As an alternative to Albert Einstein's theory of relativity,
Tesla did not accept Einstein's theory equating matter into energy and the
converse. The Dynamic theory of gravity was developed initially between 1893 and
1894. The theory reportedly states that the phenomena produced by
electromagnetic force is most important phenonomen in the universe.
According to pieces of this theory that can be gathered,
mechanical motions are a universally a result of electromagnetic force acting
through the mediums. It is the concept that a field of force models phenonomen
more precisely. It did not include the curvature of space. This theory is a
logical extension of the rotating
magnetic field model. The theory refers to an aether similar in terms to
conventional electromagnetics. Tesla's aether is not analogous to
classical aether theories. Sir
William Thomson's (i.e., Lord Kelvin) explanation of the aether corresponds
closely to Tesla's views of the aether. Tesla's aether are more akin to sound
waves. Its properties varied according to velocity, frequency, resonance, the
mediums, and the surrounding environment.
Tesla electromagnetics are composed of space-time potentials
and their corresponding motion. This potential's motion caused in the
surrounding mediums an equivalent and opposite effect (determining the positive
and negative character of the medium).
Some elements of the theory may include:
-
Electromagnetic energy fills all
space-time.
-
Electromagnetic fields interact.
-
Energy is force over time.
-
Mediums are constantly in motion in through space.
-
Motion through space produces time.
-
Electromagnetic effects produce rotating fields.
-
Electromagnetic entropy returns energy to potentials.
-
Self-regenerative
hetrodyning electromagnetic fields condense in space-time.
-
Mediums exposed to resonant vibrations of electromagnetic
interact.
-
Electromagnetic potentials arrange themselves in groups
according to the medium's polarization and the mediums' dielectric resistance.
-
Modulating
wide band frequencies of electromagnetic phenonomen premeate through all
mediums.
-
Mediums filling space all possess a
dielectric level.
-
Electromagnetic force is a phenonomen produced from mediums
in space-time.
-
Absence of mediums would result in no electromagnetic
forces.
-
Mechanical effects are produced by electromagnetic forces
acting through mediums (i.e., momentum and inertia is electromagnetic)
-
Electromagnetic potentials of high frequency produce:
-
lower environmental interaction,
-
uniform movement without rotation through space-time
-
electromagnetic saturation [i.e., plasmas]
-
Stationary
low frequency electromagnetics behave as waves.
-
Medium's electromagnetic fields creates attractive forces
from negative polarity [or what is commonly referred to as "gravity"].
It is not clear if the full theory is recorded in any of
Tesla's papers, as many of his effects were seized by the United States Federal
Government immediately following his death and declared Most Secret to prevent
information about other inventions Tesla was working on falling into "enemy
hands". Papers related to the theory are reportedly classified (e.g.,
current material released by
FOIA
have not included these papers).
At the time of his death, Tesla was considered a bizarre
crackpot by many, due to his eccentic behaviour. Tesla's reputation as a "mad
scientist" in later life means much of his later work was discredited or at
least disregarded and ignored by the
scientific establishment at the time. His controversial reputation was also
exploited by the popular press and only served to enhance it. His "mad
scientist" reputation and both the secrecy and the mysterious circumstances
surrounding his death have allowed
conspiracy theorists to make additional propositions to the theory than
Tesla revealed intially.
