From a cosmological perspective,
gravitation causes dispersed matter to coalesce, and coalesced matter to remain
intact, thus accounting for the existence of planets, stars, galaxies and most
of the macroscopic objects in the universe. It is responsible for keeping the
Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun; for keeping the
Moon in its orbit around the Earth; for the formation of tides; for natural
convection, by which fluid flow occurs under the influence of a density
gradient and gravity; for heating the interiors of forming stars and planets to
very high temperatures; and for various other phenomena observed on Earth and
throughout the universe.
Gravitation is one of the four fundamental
interactions of nature, along with electromagnetism, and the nuclear strong
force and weak force.A research published in Journal of Modern Physics examines
the consequences of a assumption on physics(If gravitation have an influence on
electromagnetism):
For many years physicists have been engaged
on research around the globe in fields such as the unification of gravita- tion
and electromagnetism, and an explanation for dark matter and dark energy, etc.,
but so far to little avail. One is left with the impression that something
might be fundamentally wrong with the premises underlying the doctrine of
physics applicable today, which is preventing a solution of these problems from
being found. As a possible cause, the author proposes that the gravitation of
the photons is not so negligible that it can be completely ignored (although
this assumption does not accord with the current state of physics). Departing
therefore from the accepted doctrine, he assumes that gravitation might possess
a hitherto unknown important influence on electromagnetism. This paper then
examines the consequences of this assumption on physics. A precise analysis
will lead to the insight that the gravitation of a photon is as dynamic as the
photon itself, and therefore must be taken into account with all associated
physical considerations. The hitherto accepted case of a static gravitation of
photons, on the other hand, can be totally neglected, as it does not exist for
photons. Of key importance is the statement that the gravitation of photons is
produced by gravitational quanta, and thus appears in quantised form. It is
therefore necessary to rethink the physics of photons. This leads to a number
of other interesting insights, as will be borne out in the further course of
this paper. In the event that the assumption of the influence of gravitation on
electromagnetism turns out to be correct, then this would represent a major
step in unravelling the still largely unknown nature of gravitation and its
significance in the natural events of the microcosmos; furtheron it would be an
important contribution regarding a “New Physics” and a “New Cosmology”.
The author said that gravitation can affect
electromagnetism is base on a presume “gravitation of the photons is not so
negligible that it can be completely ignored”.In fact ,I am curious that if
remove the hypothesis,does this conclusion still correct? Welcome to comment!
