This paper aims to provide an accessible and logical understanding of relativity theory, distinguishing between special and general relativity. It emphasizes a geometrical interpretation of gravity as the curvature of space-time and analyzes the logical framework underlying both theories. Additionally, the work explores applications to phenomena such as black holes, wormholes, and timewarps through a systematic and simplified approach, making complex concepts approachable for a broader audience.

On the Argument from Physics and General Relativity
Christopher G Weaver

Erkenntnis, 2020

I argue that the best interpretation of the general theory of relativity (GTR) has need of a causal entity (i.e., the gravitational field), and causal structure that is not reducible to light cone structure. I suggest that this causal interpretation of GTR helps defeat a key premise in one of the most popular arguments for causal reductionism, viz., the argument from physics.

New approach to explain Gravity or Theory of Everything
IJSRP Journal

A new explanation of the nature of gravity is presented in this article. It interprets gravity as a property of mass to deform and absorb space cells around it, creating space flows towards any massive body. The notion of space flows can change perception not only of gravity but also of the many other phenomena of physics such as repulsion of particles or movement of peripheral parts of galaxies, strong or weak forcers, and so on. In the first part of this paper, proposed model of gravity is confirmed by a derivation of inverse square Newton’s law for gravitational force using the basic principles of this theory. In the second part, this model of gravitation is developed further and complemented with the main equation of space cells movement, which links a speed of space cells with their linear size. This equation allows us to obtain a formula for time relativity and to define an influence of mass on a value of the speed of light. In the third part, the space flows are used to explain an effect of gravitational repulsion on a micro level. The notion of space flows also is used to describe forces of strong and weak interactions. The fourth part is about particles. An important role of antimatter in a particles’ internal structure and a few schemes of elementary particles’ transformations are proposed there. This theory of gravity suggests that antimatter emits the space cells

General relativity and the epistemology of space and time: a relational approach
Bernard GUY

2017

The text proposes some directions of research, as based on previous works made by the author. Our purpose is to discuss the contribution of general relativity to the epistemology of space and time, in the context of a relational, and not substantial, rationality. General relativity brings us the important idea (of a relational nature) that space and time do not constitute a scene external to phenomena, but that, on the contrary, the phenomena themselves, in the first place the phenomenon of gravitation, are responsible for assessing the corresponding variables. However, this contribution does not make us progress on the "mystery" of time, that remains conceptually separated from space, even though, since the relativity theory, the values of space and time variables are related. Encouraged by general relativity, we must go further and express more strongly the link between the concepts of space and time, and their identity of substance. The relational approach must extend t...

The Geometry of Gravity
Massimo Melli

2019

Nowadays, many people, including many scientists, still think that gravity is an attractive force that is explained by Newton's equation of the inverse square of the distance. Easy to understand, thinking that bodies attract each other. The truth is different: Newton, Maxwell and Einstein were right. Gravity is a geometric phenomenon of space. The Cabalist Leon explains it with his concept of "cone of certainty" and the Substance of Spinoza.

Demystification of the spacetime model of relativity
Gurcharn Sandhu

Physics Essays 24, 85 (2011), 2011

The geometrical interpretation of gravitation in general theory of relativity imparts certain mystical properties to the spacetime continuum. The mystic connotations associated with this space-time model may be attributed to the fallacious depiction of space-time as a physical entity. This paper proves that the spacetime continuum in GR is a simple mathematical model and not a physical entity.

The Truth Of Spacetime
Edward T . H . Wu

IOSR Journal Of Applied Physics (IOSR-JAP), 2025

Einstein's Spacetime is relative and inextricably interwoven into what has become known as the space-time continuum. It is also a solution of Einstein's Field Equations. In fact, Einstein's Spacetime is the potential energy of an object or event. Like any other property of the object or event, it is the image of Wu Unit Length of Wu's Pairs (building blocks of the universe) reflecting the local gravitational field and aging of the universe. In contrast, Wu's Spacetime is a single unit measurement system which contains Wu's Spacetime Units composed of exponents of Wu Unit Length of Wu's Pairs (in the reference corresponding identical elementary subatomic particle such as a designated up quark). Based on Wu's Spacetime Transformation, all the properties of an object or event such as dimension, duration, velocity and acceleration, as well as wavelength and Absolute Light Speed can be transformed to Wu's Spacetime Quantities composed of Wu's Spacetime Units. This accompanying Wu’s Spacetime Shrinkage Theory can be applied successfully in explanation of many important physical phenomena such as Gravitational Redshift, Cosmological Redshift, Gravitational Time Dilation, Hubble’s Law, Universe Expansion, Deflection of Light, Absolute Light Speed, Anisotropic Light Speed, Gravitational Waves, Perihelion Precession of Mercury and Einstein’s General Relativity, Spacetime and Field Equations. Furthermore, Einstein’s Field Equation is derived upon the equality between curvature of potential energy and acceleration from a geodesics non-linear coordination system. In contrast, Wu’s Spacetime Field Equation is derived upon the equality between acceleration and gravitational field from a Cartesian system. They are equivalent with a common term GCo-4 in both equations, only if acceleration is generated by gravitational field.

What is general relativity?
David L Wiltshire

Physica Scripta, 2017

General relativity is a set of physical and geometric principles, which lead to a set of (Einstein) field equations that determine the gravitational field, and to the geodesic equations that describe light propagation and the motion of particles on the background. But open questions remain, including: What is the scale on which matter and geometry are dynamically coupled in the Einstein equations? Are the field equations valid on small and large scales? What is the largest scale on which matter can be coarse grained while following a geodesic of a solution to Einstein's equations? We address these questions. If the field equations are causal evolution equations, whose average on cosmological scales is not an exact solution of the Einstein equations, then some simplifying physical principle is required to explain the statistical homogeneity of the late epoch Universe. Such a principle may have its origin in the dynamical coupling between matter and geometry at the quantum level in the early Universe. This possibility is hinted at by diverse approaches to quantum gravity which find a dynamical reduction to two effective dimensions at high energies on one hand, and by cosmological observations which are beginning to strongly restrict the class of viable inflationary phenomenologies on the other. We suggest that the foundational principles of general relativity will play a central role in reformulating the theory of spacetime structure to meet the challenges of cosmology in the 21st century.

Where-When-What: The General Relativity of Space-Time–Property
Robert Delbourgo

International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2014

We develop the general relativity of extended spacetime-property for describing events including their properties. The anticommuting nature of property coordinates, augmenting space-time (x, t), allows for the natural emergence of generations and for the simple incorporation of gauge fields in the spacetime-property sector. With one electric property this results in a geometrical unification of gravity and electromagnetism, leading to a Maxwell-Einstein Lagrangian plus a cosmological term. Addition of one neutrinic and three chromic properties should lead to unification of gravity with electroweak and strong interactions. 8 R.Delbourgo and P.D.Stack Carrying out the algebraic manipulations, we obtain R J KLM = (−1) [J]([K]+[L]+[M]) (−1) [K][L] Γ KM J ,L − (−1) [K][M]+[L][M] Γ KL J ,M

Do We Really Require a Curved Description of Spacetime to Explain Gravity?
Anmol Sahu

IISER Pune, 2021

The most radical feature of General Relativity was its identification of gravity with spacetime curvature. However, in attempts to find a unified field theory, Einstein himself discovered an alternate way to look at gravity in which spacetime was globally flat, but gravity was mediated by torsion. In this thesis, we will discuss two such theories of gravity which are equivalent to general relativity but build upon globally flat spacetime. The theories which will be discussed are Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity (TEGR) and Symmetric Teleparallel Equivalent of General Relativity (STEGR). We will show that the identification of gravity with spacetime curvature is not unique but a mere convention. These theories give two other equivalent but conceptually very different ways to look at gravity. We will show that classically all three theories are indistinguishable and which one represents the reality we do not know.

Physical explanations of Einstein's gravity
Vivian Robinson

Einstein's gravitational field equations from his general theory of relativity have formed the foundations of gravitational studies since their publication. His work is widely acknowledged as an example of a theoretical study that made a great contribution to our understanding of gravity. Einstein's mathematical approach has made the topic complex and open to misinterpretation. This study evaluates the physics upon which his mathematics operates. It shows that mass distorts spacetime by the redshift of photons. It derives two alternative metrics to the Schwarzschild metric. One was derived directly from Einstein's early work on gravity. The other was derived from Einstein's field equations by removing the approximations introduced in the Schwarzschild metric derivation. Both match observation better than the Schwarzschild metric and show why Einstein did not believe in black holes. The metric derived directly from Einstein's early gravitational study, predicts the torus shape shown in the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration image. In showing the physics involved, this study suggests it is easier to understand the complexities of his work.

The explanation for gravity
Walter Ruh

The explanation for gravity, 2019

Subsequently, it was successfully connected to the statement of Sir Isaac Newton. - The electrostatics is explained and based on real - The whereabouts of the dark mass is clear - The cause of gravity is found and based on differential forces Specifically, no new theory was invented. It is an extension of the physical considerations from a reality perspective. Only through a physical and philosophical analysis of the existing real physics in the three dimensions results in a consistent model in all points. The solution is the replacement of a single, arbitrary convention with the sought and found real value. This work in no way affects the ingenious relativity theory of Albert Einstein, on which all the findings of modern physics are based. On the other hand, it could well be that the string theories in the fourteen dimensions and the concept of the Higgs field thereby collapse.

Origin of Gravity and Reason for General Theory of Relativity Passing All the Tests
Rajendra Prajapati

European Journal of Applied Physics (EJ-PHYSICS), 2025

General Theory of Relativity as formulated by Einstein is incompatible with the rules of quantum mechanics and so far, not been unified with the other fundamental forces. New hypothesis provides solution to these problems by thermodynamics approach. Let's consider an example of an open system such as Earth, which has excess energy (Potential energy) due to the disruption of intermolecular bonds on its surface and at different element interfaces that creates an inward pull, resulting in an absolute pressure that is higher than outside full vacuum universe. This difference creates an inward vacuum drag (gravity gradient) that enables all objects drag towards the Earth. In Einstein's general theory of relativity, the above-mentioned phenomenon is regarded as the curvature of space-time. The concept of extra energy (due to molecular bonds) doesn't work for a single molecule, which is why general relativity fails to hold true at atomic level. This hypothesis provides more fundamental explanations for several questions, including the source of gravity, deep understanding of gravitational potential energy, the hierarchy problem, and the factors influencing the variation of the universal gravitational constant. It elucidates the concept of the equivalence principle, the phenomenon of tidal bulge, and even the cataclysmic event of dinosaur mass extinction. Furthermore, it elucidates the rapid rotation of stars located on the outskirts of a galaxy and the ongoing acceleration of the universe's expansion. It is important to understand that the underlying reason for intermolecular connections is the electromagnetic force, which supports the idea of combining gravity with other fundamental forces.

What Are the Truths of Gravity and General Relativity
Edward T . H . Wu

It is proposed that graviton is composed of Wu's Pairs, a Yangton and Yington circulating particle pairs with build-in attractive Force of Creation (Building Blocks of the universe). Gravitational force is generated by string force between two gravitons and the propagation of gravitational force is caused by graviton radiation and contact interaction. In addition, the dimension and duration of an object or event can change with the local gravitational field due to the bombardment of gravitons in accordance to graviton radiation and contact interaction, also aging of the universe in compliance with CMB radiation. Because of the fixed intrinsic structures, the amount of unit quantity in a corresponding identical objects or events should remain unchanged no matter of gravitational field and aging of the universe. Furthermore, Principle of Equilibrium, Principle of Parallelism and Principle of Correspondence are used to explain the correlations between the quantities of the same properties of different objects and events. Einstein's Spacetime and Field Equation were compared to Wu's Spacetime and Wu's Spacetime Field Equation. In fact, Einstein's Spacetime is nothing but the property of an object or event likes acceleration which can reflect the local gravitational field and aging of the universe. Finally, Wu's Spacetime Graviton Concentration Field Equation is derived which can serve as the Backbone of Quantum Field Theory, Quantum Gravity Theory and Unified Field Theory.

    Parallel Processing Letters, 2012

    In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using closed timelike curves (CTCs) in relativistic hypercomputation. We introduce a wormhole based hypercomputation scenario which is free from the common worries, such as the blueshift problem. We also discuss the physical reasonability of our scenario, and why we cannot simply ignore the possibility of the existence of spacetimes containing CTCs.

    We present a streamlined axiom system of special relativity in firs-order logic. From this axiom system we "derive" an axiom system of general relativity in two natural steps. We will also see how the axioms of special relativity transform into those of general relativity. This way we hope to make general relativity more accessible for the non-specialist.

    Automated Planning for Ubiquitous Computing
    Ilche Georgievski

    ACM Computing Surveys, 2017

    The goal of ubiquitous computing is to create ambience in which one’s experiences and quality of life are improved by monitoring and assisting people using ubiquitous technologies and computation in coherence. The continuous advancements of involved technologies, such as wireless communications, mobile devices, and sensors, imply fast evolution of ubiquitous computing environments too. The complexity of these environments is reaching a point where traditional solutions simply no longer work. The environments are in need of computational techniques that can deal with the evolution and uncertainty of ubiquitous computing environments dynamically and automatically. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can contribute towards satisfying this future scenario in many ways, while numerous approaches inspired by work in the AI planning community have already been designed for ubiquitous computing. We devote this study to investigate the current progress of AI planning for ubiquitous computing by ana...

    The Modelwise Interpolation Property of Semantic Logics
    Övge Öztürk, Zalan Gyenis

    Bulletin of the Section of Logic

    In this paper we introduce the modelwise interpolation property of a logic that states that whenever \(\models\phi\to\psi\) holds for two formulas \(\phi\) and \(\psi\), then for every model \(\mathfrak{M}\) there is an interpolant formula \(\chi$ formulated in the intersectionof the vocabularies of \(\phi$ and \(\psi\), such that \(\mathfrak{M}\models \phi\to\chi\) and \(\mathfrak{M}\models\chi\to\psi\), that is, the interpolant formula in Craig interpolation may vary from model to model. We discuss examples and show that while the \(n\)-variable fragment of first order logic and difference logic have no Craig interpolation, they both have the modelwise interpolation property. As an application we connect the modelwise interpolation property with the local Beth definability, and we prove that the modelwise interpolation property of an algebraizable logic can be characterized by a weak form of the superamalgamation property of the class of algebras corresponding to the models of the...
