Quantum Gravity 104.1: Confinement Via The Final Equations |
From Osher Doctorow
Whereas gravity increases with decreasing distance, and similarly with
electrostatic force between charges, the strong force increases with
increasing distance. Thus, there is already strong indication that
an inverse relationship between gravitation and the strong force
exists as with the last posting.
Does this mean that the strong force is repulsive, the long-sought
solution to rapid space flight for example? The usual answer would
be "no" because of the small range of the strong force, but in fact
the strong force does repel quark b moving away from quark a as b
approaches the boundary of a "large" sphere centered at a. However,
this is not what we mean by space flight repulsion, which would
increase the speed of a person B moving away from object A (the earth,
for example) the further B is from A - in fact, the strong force if it
could be made macroscopic would slow down B the further B got from A
past a certain point.
If gravitation and its "inverse" are not the answer to rapid space
flight, then the "final equations" of last time (at least for the
early Universe) give us another possibility: that electromagnetism is
the answer, or possibly its "inverse" the weak force if it could be
"upscaled". Here the idea of a local applicability of Ohm's Law and
indeed of electromagnetism in general may come in to use in
spacecraft. If the spacecraft could somehow create a succession or
series or "landslide" of small local electromagnetic effects to
construct an electromagnetic network along which it moves in space,
then the problem of rapid space flight might be solved.
The other possibility, which needs to be seriously considered, is that
c just demarcates a "light phase boundary" or electromagnetic phase
boundary and that a massive object really does keep moving in the
superluminal domain (with SR breaking down near the phase boundary - a
not unheard of concept in mathematical modeling of various types near
boundaries).
