Gravitational ForceNothing is happening at the moment. (Proverb) | |
Without time, there is no velocity, no momentum, no acceleration, no gravity. Gravitational force is not a force;
the term is merely a synonym for gravitational acceleration.

A wooden meter is placed in a gravitational field. Lengths decrease and time expands. Light undergoes a blue shift. There are two types of scale changes. A diver dives from a ten-meter diving platform into the water in 1.5 seconds. On a 30-cm television screen, it also takes 1.5 seconds. His speed changes with the spatial scale. This is a Euclidean scale change. Gravitationally, however, the speed changes quadratically. Both the scale of length and the scale of time change. The change in length is not noticed locally and, like a Euclidean scale change, appears to have no effect on gravity. Time pushes the amplitudes together. The change in the length scale also changes the radius length. | ![]() |
From the maximum length scale, the inverse of the time dilation is equal to 1/(1+T/R), T = M•G/c². The function F(x) = (1/(1+T/(R+x)))/(1/(1+T/R)) describes the time dilation from radius R+x to R. Ludwig Resch |
