Gravitational acceleration

Hi Uncle Tom,

I have another questions for you:

1. Do you remember a gentleman who wrote:<i>"The analysis of the precession effects considered herein was stimulated by Tom Van Flandern. When I outlined to him the exponential scale factor and the implied gravitational force, he indicated that I needed to consider the precession effects. E. Miles Standish of JPL graciously supplied numerous articles and reprints regarding the optical and radar determinations of planetary ephemerides. The author appreciated the editing which Dr. Cynthia Kolb Whitney provided. Her work together with suggestions from the referee have significantly clarified the presentation."</i>

2. Was the above statement written about 1998 ?

Hi Uncle Tom,

I have couple links for you. Would you please take a look at the velocity equation #27 and give me a comment ?

Thank you so much,

=======================================

<b>There are no black holes.</b>
<i>
The GRT gravitational scale factor, equation (2), has problems when the second term within the square root reaches a value of unity. Then the scale factor becomes zero. The speed of light would become zero and no return signal would ever be received. The Newtonian escape velocity, equation ( would imply that the speed of a particle falling from outside the gravitational field would exceed the speed of light. The gravitational force (19) would become infinite. Also, clocks would stop, lengths become zero and mass become infinite.

Somehow GRT claims that when this scale factor reaches zero a coordinate change can be made which will avoid the obvious problems. Instead of a problem, GRT claims that we have reached the "horizon" of a black hole.

But use of the EGT revised gravitational scale factor, equation (17), eliminates the zero scale factor, and hence the velocity problems. For example, using the same constraint as for equation ( (that the product of the gravitational scale factor and the velocity scale factor equal unity), equation (17) yields a revised velocity equation


v = c.sqrt(1-exp(-2GM/rc^2) (27)



which only asymptotically approaches the speed of light as the separation distance goes to zero.

And use of the gravitational scale factor, equation (17), along with the new force law, equation (19), clearly show that, as mass accumulates, the force does not approach infinity. There is no scale factor discontinuity. The gravitational force is self-limiting.

In short, there is no occurrence of scale-factor zero. There is no event horizon. There are no black holes.</i>

We have a (paid) professional service for those who need such a service. [See metaresearch.org/publications/PMRS/PMRS.asp ] But you will find few volunteers because active professionals usually don't have time to spend in such unproductive processes.

Bottom line: If it isn't peer-reviewed, use with extreme caution. -|Tom|-

Hi Uncle Tom,

I gave you two links. One link is for the article which contains the above statement; another link is about the author.

I thought the author of the article is a friend of yours and I hoped you would remember the article through the link.

I may have to contact directly to the author for more explanation.

Anyway I thank you very much.
