Beyond Spacetime Curvature: A Resonant Model for Orbital Stability and Gravity
Acoustic Gravitic Theory proposes that gravity arises not from mass-based attraction or spacetime curvature but from oscillatory wave pressure in atmospheric and plasma environments. By redefining gravity as a mechanical force generated by solar-induced wave fields, AGT offers a testable, unified explanation for both Earth-based gravity and planetary orbital stability.
The Problem with Traditional Models
For over a century, physicists have explained gravity through either Newton’s law of universal gravitation or Einstein’s geometric interpretation via General Relativity. Both frameworks rely on mass as the origin of gravitational force—yet neither provides a medium or mechanism for how this force is transmitted. Moreover, Einstein’s spacetime curvature model remains empirically unverified in its foundational assumptions. While it matches observational data under specific conditions, it fails to offer a mechanistic cause. The concept of mass “bending space” remains mathematically elegant but physically ambiguous.
Furthermore, planetary orbits remain stable despite complex gravitational interactions in multi-body systems—a challenge for both Newtonian and relativistic models. The persistent stability of orbits, even in the absence of large gravitational wells (as with Venus, which lacks a significant magnetosphere), remains unexplained.
An Acoustic Gravitic Response
Acoustic Gravitic Theory (AGT) explains gravity as a pressure-based phenomenon rooted in wave mechanics. It identifies the Primary Bjerknes Force as the central mechanism—a force known in fluid dynamics where oscillating pressure gradients exert net directional forces on objects with impedance mismatches. In AGT:
- On Earth, the Sun’s ELF, ULF, and Alfvén waves induce oscillations in Earth’s molten core via Lenz’s Law. These internal oscillations generate standing seismic-acoustic waves, which propagate upward, forming infrasonic fields in the atmosphere. Solid objects immersed in these wave fields resist oscillation, leading to a net downward force—what we perceive as weight.
- In space, planetary orbital positions are not held by inertia around a curved spacetime but are phase-locked into nodes of solar magnetosonic standing waves. Each planet behaves as a nested resonant cavity—composed of atmospheric, ionospheric, and (if present) magnetospheric shells—that synchronizes with the Sun’s wave field. Orbital distances align with pressure troughs in the heliosphere, stabilized through Bjerknes-type interactions.
Scientific Foundations for AGT
This wave-centric explanation aligns with well-documented physical phenomena and offers multiple avenues for empirical validation:
- Bjerknes Force in Atmospheric Gravity: The downward force arises as infrasonic standing waves press against impedance-bound solid objects. Objects that do not oscillate in sync with the surrounding medium experience a net unidirectional pressure. This mechanism has been demonstrated in underwater acoustics and scaled here for atmospheric infrasound.
- Orbital Stability via Resonant Cavities: Planetary distances from the Sun correspond to harmonics of standing magnetosonic waves within the heliosphere. Earth’s orbit, for example, aligns with the 2244th harmonic based on solar wave speed and frequency—an empirical match not explainable by mass-based gravity alone.
- Birkeland Currents as Feedback Systems: Direct plasma connections between the Sun and planetary poles (Birkeland currents) complete a global energy circuit, modulating inductive and resonant properties in real time. These currents reinforce the magnetic and acoustic balance needed for stable orbital cavities.
- Gravity Without Magnetospheres: Planets like Venus and Mars, lacking strong magnetospheres, still maintain orbital stability. AGT explains this through their ionospheres and atmospheric shells, which continue to resonate with solar waves—demonstrating that mass and magnetic field strength are not prerequisites for orbital anchoring.
Conclusion
Acoustic Gravitic Theory redefines gravity as a consequence of pressure gradients formed by solar-induced wave fields, not mass-induced curvature. Terrestrial gravity stems from seismic-acoustic resonance in Earth’s atmosphere, while orbital mechanics arise from pressure-based phase-locking to solar wave nodes. This nested cavity model of planetary positioning and localized gravity provides a unified, testable alternative to both Newtonian and Einsteinian gravity—grounded in fluid mechanics, plasma physics, and atmospheric science.
