Where Einstein and I differ

I have a new post up on Substack about how my model of gravity and motion differs from Einstein's relativity.  Go there to see the whole thing, because Blogger still doesn't work well with LaTeX.  Here's the summary.

I’ve been doing the numbers on my model of the potential energy field and objective gravity. It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out how to convert my geometric methods to the algebraic ones of special relativity. But, I now have a much clearer idea of how my model works, what the calculations mean, and where Einstein and I disagree. It mostly comes down to, “What are you measuring, and how are you measuring it?” Einstein, in effect, conserves velocity at the expense of momentum and energy. I conserve momentum and energy at the expense of velocity. Einstein’s choice leads to ever increasing complexity. My choice leads to more simplicity and a model that predicts behavior on the fringes more accurately.

Isn’t my way more complicated? Yes. Don’t the numbers come out slightly different compared to special relativity? Yes. So why bother?

Doing things my way creates an intuitive model of particles moving in a field. Doing things my way preserves Euclidean space and time, the conservation of momentum, and the conservation of energy, while also preserving the observation of the speed of light as being the same in every reference frame. It shows how momentum actually works as an energy gradient across a particle of fixed width. It shows that momentum, kinetic energy, and gravity all have the exact same source - energy gradients. It shows that rest mass is a fixed and flat energy addition to a particle. It shows that a particle’s mass and kinetic energy are irrelevant to the forces acting upon it, so gravity attracts all objects equally. (The interaction of particles with each other generates the traditional force laws.) It shows how red and blue shift happen. It ensures that no massive particle can ever reach or exceed the speed of light. It eliminates both infinities and singularities. It shows that a change of reference frame is a literal rotation of a gradient angle. It shows that subjective (“proper”) time is an inherent feature of every massive particle. It shows that your perception of space and time is exactly that - your subjective perception.

It also correctly predicts a “flattening” of gravity at the low & slow regime near the edges of galaxies - something general relativity completely fails at.

Einstein created a model of how things seem to be. I have created a model that appears to show how things really are.
