The VIGA Gravity Detector reveals gravity’s true source—vertical pressure gradients from infrasonic waves—not spacetime curvature.
Introduction: Rethinking Gravity with Measurable Pressure
The VIGA Gravity Detector is not a thought experiment. It is a challenge to the foundations of physics. For more than a century, gravity has been modeled as either an invisible force of attraction or a geometric warping of spacetime. Neither of these interpretations provides a physically measurable cause. Neither offers a medium. Neither includes a testable, causal mechanism. The VIGA Gravity Detector breaks this stalemate. By directly measuring vertical infrasonic pressure gradients in Earth’s atmosphere, it aims to validate the core premise of Acoustic Gravitic Theory (AGT)—that gravity is a wave-induced pressure field formed by solar-driven seismic resonance and atmospheric infrasound.
Where Einstein invoked curvature, AGT reveals a standing vertical pressure structure. Where Newton relied on instantaneous attraction, AGT exposes mechanical pressure differentials rooted in impedance mismatch. This reframing has remained obscured, not because it was disproven, but because it was never measured. VIGA makes that measurement possible. It is not simply a device—it is the turning point between two eras of gravitational science.
Why Vertical Gradients Went Unmeasured
No existing scientific framework treated vertical infrasonic gradients as gravitationally relevant. General Relativity modeled gravity as a curvature in four-dimensional coordinate space, not as a force operating through a medium. The Einstein Field Equations replaced classical interaction with geometric abstraction, severing any link to real pressure fields or mechanical wave transmission. As a result, infrasound sensor networks such as CTBTO and ISNet were constructed with horizontal bias. These systems detect wavefronts moving laterally through the atmosphere but are physically incapable of resolving the vertical pressure differentials postulated by AGT.
This omission is not a technological constraint—it is a theoretical blind spot. Once gravity was defined geometrically, pressure was no longer part of the equation. Vertical measurement became irrelevant. The VIGA Gravity Detector reintroduces what Einstein’s model deliberately excluded: the atmosphere as a real, structured medium capable of sustaining vertical standing waves that exert continuous mechanical force on solid bodies.
Foundations in Atmospheric Infrasound and Resonant Mechanics
Infrasound is ubiquitous in Earth’s atmosphere. Generated by ocean waves, tectonic motion, meteorological systems, and solar-induced seismic activity, these sub-20 Hz acoustic waves persist for hours and traverse thousands of kilometers. When reflected between boundary layers such as the tropopause and ionosphere, they form stable standing wave patterns. These patterns naturally give rise to vertical pressure gradients—an acoustic structure familiar in fluid dynamics and experimental acoustics but ignored in gravitation.
AGT proposes that these standing infrasound waves, phase-locked into Earth’s vertical structure, impose a net downward force on solid bodies through the Primary Bjerknes Force. This force emerges when a body immersed in an oscillating pressure field resists synchronous motion. The resulting phase mismatch produces asymmetric pressure—higher above, lower below—resulting in a net compressive force. Gravity, in this view, is not an attractive force between masses but a measurable, mechanical pressure imposed on non-resonant matter.
Pressure Gradient Required to Simulate Gravity
The fundamental requirement to reproduce Earth’s gravitational acceleration through pressure is defined by:
Where:
- ΔP/Δz: vertical pressure gradient (Pa/m)
- ρ: air density at sea level (kg/m³), typically ~1.2
- g: gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s²)
Substituting values:
Rounded, this defines the VIGA target detection threshold at 12 Pa/m. If such a persistent gradient is observed, not linked to convection or weather, it would empirically confirm that the weight of objects results from vertical infrasonic compression—not from geometric curvature or mass attraction.
What Is the VIGA Gravity Detector?
The VIGA Gravity Detector is a vertically arrayed stack of ultra-sensitive barometric sensors, placed at regular intervals—typically every 0.5 meters along a 6-meter mast. These sensors are calibrated to detect pressure differences down to 0.01 Pascals, enabling the detection of a gradient as small as 10–15 Pa/m. Sampling rates of 1 Hz or higher ensure capture of low-frequency infrasonic oscillations. Environmental shielding and thermal compensation are built in to reduce error from wind or heat distortion. The VIGA array is not simply a meteorological tool—it is a gravitic interferometer designed to test whether infrasonic standing waves constitute the downward force field we call gravity.
If the VIGA Gravity Detector observes vertical pressure gradients that match theoretical thresholds and persist independently of atmospheric convection, the entire premise of General Relativity collapses under the weight of a real measurement.
The Case Against Spacetime
Spacetime cannot resonate. It cannot refract, diffract, or oscillate. It has no impedance, no density, and no mechanical properties. It is a placeholder for gravitational behavior, not a medium through which it propagates. All empirical data used to support General Relativity—Mercury’s precession, time dilation, lensing—can be reinterpreted through phase-locking mechanics, resonant drag, and plasma-based refraction.
In contrast, Acoustic Gravitic Theory defines all gravitational behavior as phase-induced pressure effects. Planets phase-lock into nodal minima of solar magnetosonic waves. Light bends due to refractive index gradients in plasma. Time dilation arises from resonant impedance on atomic oscillators. Every phenomenon once attributed to geometric deformation is instead causally explained through measurable interaction between oscillating wave fields and impedance structures.
The VIGA Gravity Detector confronts the assumption of curvature with the reality of vertical compression. If gravity can be measured as a standing pressure field, then spacetime has no role in gravitational cause.
Toward Artificial Gravity and Gravitational Engineering
If infrasonic pressure gradients can be measured, they can be replicated. Artificial gravity becomes an engineering problem, not a theoretical fantasy. Spacecraft could be fitted with low-frequency resonant coils to produce standing gradients of 12 Pa/m, recreating Earth-like weight without rotation. Spacesuits could incorporate portable infrasonic emitters to preserve muscular and skeletal integrity during EVA.
This wave-based understanding also enables gravitational suppression. By generating phase-inverted infrasonic fields, local pressure gradients can be canceled, producing temporary weightlessness. If refined, this method could support acoustic lift, zero-gravity chambers, and ground-based propulsion systems.
What begins as a passive detection device becomes a gateway to active gravitic manipulation.
Energy Source and Sustainability
A common objection is the energy requirement to sustain such a pressure field. But AGT accounts for this through solar-induced core excitation. Ultra-low-frequency magnetic waves from the Sun couple into Earth’s core via geomagnetic field lines. These induce internal oscillations, which radiate as seismic and infrasonic energy. The energy density required to sustain a 12 Pa/m pressure gradient falls well within the output of solar ELF/ULF input—estimated at 0.5 to 2 mW/m². Unlike GR, which offers no sustaining mechanism, AGT traces a continuous, testable power flow from Sun to seismic to atmospheric wave structure.
Why It Was Never Measured—Until Now
For more than a century, physicists have built models that exclude media. Spacetime, dark matter, dark energy—all are artifacts of mathematical necessity, not empirical discovery. With no pressure mechanism in its equations, General Relativity offered no incentive to measure vertical gradients. VIGA exists precisely because no one else asked the right question. Not once was a vertical barometric array designed to test whether infrasonic standing waves create the net force we interpret as gravity.
VIGA fills that void. It does not theorize. It listens.
Testability and Experimental Criteria
The VIGA Gravity Detector operates in real-time, measuring pressure at vertical intervals during solar events, seismic quiet, and background fluctuations. Correlation with solar wind data, geomagnetic indices, and known infrasound events enables precise filtering. Detection criteria include:
- Persistence of vertical pressure gradients exceeding 10 Pa/m
- Coherence across multiple sensors with minimal variance
- Correlation with solar input (e.g., flares, CMEs)
- Independence from convection, weather, or ground-level disturbances
If even one of these criteria is met repeatedly, AGT gains empirical priority. If all are met simultaneously, GR’s reign ends.
Conclusion: VIGA Validates Gravity’s Medium
The VIGA Gravity Detector is not just an instrument. It is the first apparatus in history designed to answer whether gravity is a standing acoustic pressure field—not a curvature of space. It offers a testable, mechanical framework where none existed. It aligns with fluid dynamics, wave theory, and plasma physics. It challenges unobserved abstractions with measurable gradients. It redefines weight as downward phase mismatch and orbit as harmonic lock-in—not as pull, not as curve, but as vibration in a real, oscillating medium.
For over a century, science has tried to describe gravity. Now, for the first time, we can detect it. Not as motion. Not as orbit. As pressure.
It’s time to measure what spacetime ignored.
It’s time to build the VIGA Gravity Detector.
