Could the Inertia and Energy Content of Matter Diminish over Cosmological Time?^[1]

摘要

If the inertial properties of matter diminished according to , with a corresponding loss of intrinsic energy, (The “_” notation represents a ratio of past measures over present measures so represents the ratio of the objects location in Cosmological Time divided by the Age of the Universe, and represents a ratio of the past over the present measures of inertial mass), then some interesting relationships result and a number of fundamental ambiguities in physics are resolved. Mentioning just one ambiguity; a gram of matter and a gram of radiant energy in intergalactic space now would maintain their equivalency over time, even though the photon loses energy as evidenced by the Cosmological Red Shift. As inertial mass is lost, relationships defined by a balance between inertial and spatial forces contract. (Spatial Forces are defined by spatial field based relationships associated with Gravity and Electromagnetism.) Spectra emitted or absorbed in the past would be “redder” than spectra produced in the present due to the denser atomic electrostatic field relationships in the present compared to the past. The contraction of atomic relationships also contracts local rulers which results in a measured Cosmological Red Shift that varies by This establishes an alternative or additional explanation for the observed Recessional Red shift. Clock rates established by a balance between inertial and spatial forces speed up over time so intervals of time to vary by, , which also produces an alternative or additional explanation for Time Dilation. The hypothetical geometrically defined model that could yield this variation in inertial mass is based on the following assumptions; 1. An extra dimensional space, (or Unobserved Space, or a set of extra dimensionally defined spatial field relationships), is in motion and is passing through our Observable Space. 2. It is the velocity of Unobserved Space through matter that imparts to mass the properties of inertia and “intrinsic” energy (E = mcc). 3. Unobserved Space and Observable Space are geometrically interconnected and are expanding at the same geometrically defined rate of , where refers to the proportional distance between points on the spatial field. 4. The velocity of Unobserved Space, Vu, is diminished at a geometrically derived rate of which results in the property of inertia to vary at the same rate. The model is called the “Vu model”. Analogously, just as we can visualize an expanding “flatland universe” in motion along an unobserved orthogonal dimension, we can visualize it instead as an Unobserved Space passing through a Flatland Universe. The same “rules” that were developed in a previous Paper, (A Multidimensional Geometric Expansion of Spacetime) [2] that established the geometric expansion of Observable Space also apply within Unobserved Space. This is the second of 4 papers that together define an alternative geometry for Spacetime and the Cosmos. The four papers together will establish a model that apparently will not need Dark Matter or Dark Energy to be consistent with the cosmological locations and rotational rates of Galaxies in the Universe.
