Paradox:
In my theory, the spatial scale is perceived as smaller near heavy objects.
Due to the narrowing of the visual cone, this may not be visible; it optically magnifies images.
Imagine you have a box with external dimensions such that 100 sugar cubes should fit inside.
In fact, 150 sugar cubes fit inside.
Einstein solves the problem by assuming that space is curved. A piece of cloth stretched in a frame has a
smaller area than the curved surface of a round object that fits inside this frame.
Resolution of the paradox:
If you bring the box to the same point as the sugar cubes, the box also appears to shrink.
Then, only 100 sugar cubes fit inside again.
The"snow globe principle". applies. There is no
local change in scale. Curvature is neither necessary nor real.
Since there is no ether, there is no point property of "curvature."
The differences between STR and gravity are:
- The changes in scale in gravity are continuous, whereas in STR they are abrupt*.
- STR has the singularity "speed of light."
- Gravity has no singularity. A path to infinite mass density would be infinitely long.
In a gravitational field, atoms and molecules are or become smaller.
A rotating clock with stabilized angular momentum would have to spin faster when shrinking (pirouette effect).
However, time dilation cancels this out. Thus, the changes cannot be detected on-site
*Does not apply to massive objects. Otherwise, they would require infinite acceleration.
