Can the "Newtonian Electrodynamics" of Professors Peter and Neal Graneau Be Successfully Unified with Classical Electrodynamics Using the Author's Neo-Newtonian Mechanics to Replace Their Use of Newtonian Mechanics? (original) (raw)

NATURE OF INERTIAL MASS AND ITS INFLUENCE ON PHYSICS

The inertial phenomenon whose characteristic quantity is that the inertial mass is one of the natural phenomena known soonest but its nature has so far still been a big scientific enigma. On the basis of analyzing trends of cognizing the definition of inertial mass from the past up to present, the author has found another approach to the nature of this phenomenon, that is the limited time of all processes of energy exchange. In the mechanics, the finiteness of the time of energy exchange leads to the motion of the body with the limited acceleration. It does prove the portion between the potential field force and the motion acceleration of the body in the potential force field, that is a constant entity for each body, not depending on its motion; that is the inertial mass that has been hiding for a long term. Thanks to that, it is also to accurate the law of freely falling body and the principle of equivalence is also a long term enigma up to date. In addition, it has developed the general laws of dynamics for all frames of reference, not only for the inertial frame of reference.

Inertia Falsifies Newtonian Dynamics

There are some obstacles in Newtonian dynamics that are still unresolved. Those obstacles are caused by both of the wrong understanding of inertia and the limitations in Newton’s first & second laws. Therefore, I theoretically analyzed the motion of the sp herical inelastic object on a perfectly smooth horizontal surface in a vacuumed system. I hypothesized two new laws in dynamics and a new physical property of forces which is “Force Relative Speed (FRS)” to explain the unexpected motion of the object and t he flaws in Newton’s dynamics. Also, I presented a new definition of inertia and showed why and when this new definition should be used. According to the dynamics that I introduced in this article, Newtonian physics cannot describe any object's motion when that object has inertia, therefore the motion of many objects in nature is misunderstood. Consequently, a lot of physical parameters that were measured by using Newtonian dynamics are not accurate

An Explanation of Inertia Outside Relativity and its Consequences

2014

An electric charge Q of mass m, in the form of a spherical shell of radius a, moving at time t with velocity v and acceleration dv/dt, generates an electro-dynamic field X proportional to the acceleration. The field X acts on the self-same charge Q to produce an inertial force QX = -m(dv/dt), equal and opposite to the accelerating force, in accordance with Newton’s 2 nd and 3 rd laws of motion, where m is a constant. This explains the origin of inertia as electrical and internal to a body, contrary to general relativity. An expression deduced for the mass m, in terms of Q and radius a, is compared with the electrostatic energy E of the charge to obtain E = 1⁄2 mc 2 , in contrast to the mass-energy formula of special relativity, E = mc 2 , where c the speed of light in a vacuum.

On the electromagnetic origin of inertia and inertial mass

International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2008

We address the problem of inertial property of matter through analysis of the motion of an extended charged particle. Our approach is based on the continuity equation for momentum (Newton's second law) taking due account of the vector potential and its convective derivative. We obtain a development in terms of retarded potentials allowing an intuitive physical interpretation of its main terms. The inertial property of matter is then discussed in terms of a kind of induction law related to the extended charged particle's own vector potential. Moreover, it is obtained a force term that represents a drag force acting on the charged particle when in motion relatively to its own vector potential field lines. The time rate of variation of the particle's vector potential leads to the acceleration inertia reaction force, equivalent to the Schott term responsible for the source of the radiation field. We also show that the velocity dependent term of the particle's vector potential is connected with the relativistic increase of mass with velocity and generates a longitudinal stress force that is the source of electric field lines deformation. In the framework of classical electrodynamics, we have shown that the electron mass has possibly a complete electromagnetic origin and the obtained covariant equation solves the "4/3 mass paradox" for a spherical charge distribution.

Some Results in Classical Mechanics for the Case of a Variable Mass

2013

In most, if not all, introductions to classical mechanics, the mass is assumed to be constant. Usually this is mentioned and often attention is drawn to such systems as rocket motion to indicate that, in practice, the mass is not always a constant. In truth, many students actually meet a varying mass for the first time when introduced to the Special Theory of Relativity. However, varying masses do occur in nature when relativistic effects are not important. Here an attempt is made to draw together some common results of classical mechanics with a variable mass taken into account. Particular attention will be drawn to a perceived change in the expression for the kinetic energy and to crucial changes in the basic form of Lagrange's equations of motion.

Mach's Principle: the origin of the inertial mass (II)

We find that the force of inertia acting on an accelerated body is the result of the action of the gravitational induction force produced by the relative movement of the Universe as a whole, which fully confirms the Mach's Principle. The calculations are developed with the linearized theory of General Relativity.

A Modified Theory Of Newtonian Mechanics

2000

A specific form of the inertial law is presented by which we can have some deeper insight into the essence of mass and inertia. In this modified theory, there is no need to keep the concept of absolute space and Newton's third law as principles. By introducing a convenient form for gravitational law the coupling constant G becomes a function

Mach's Principle: the origin of the inertial mass (I)

We show that the forces of inertia acting on the accelerated bodies are forces of gravitational induction exerted by the whole of the Universe. Therefore, the phenomenon of inertia and the inertial mass of a body have a cosmic origin, as demanded by the Mach's principle. The calculations will be applied to a vector gravitational field theory. In a second part of this research we will apply these results to the General Theory of Relativity.

Neo-Newtonian Mechanics With Extension To Relativistic Velocities; Part 1: Non-Radiative Effects

Kindle Direct Publishing, 2024

This volume contains an extension of classical mechanics to "Jones-Laithwaite effects" as well as to relativistic velocities. The extension may helpfully be viewed as a minimal variable inertial mass revision of Newtonian mechanics that is, however, in line with anomalous gyroscopic behavior reported by the late Alex Jones closely followed by the late Eric Laithwaite and then others such as the late Harvey Fiala, and then finally with the recent horizontal spinning rotor levitation experiments of Prof. Alexander L. Dmitriev.

A unified theory of gravity and inertia

In this paper, we show how the phenomenon of inertia can be explained in non-relativistic classical mechanics using a unified theory of gravity and inertia. As a basis, we used the inertia-free mechanics of H.J. Treder. It can implement both Mach's principle and the idea of inertia having a gravitational origin without the shortcomings of an anisotropic inertial mass. Inertia arises from a velocity-dependent part of the gravitational potential. Thus, it will be possible to formulate classical mechanics with postulating neither the weak equivalence principle, nor a gravitational constant, nor any concept of inertial mass or inertial forces a priori. We will show that all four can be derived from the theory. The theory is valid in arbitrary accelerated frames of reference and the inertial frames are determined by all other particles in the universe, as demanded by Mach's principle. The exact Newtonian inertial forces will appear in any non-inertial frame, for translational and rotational acceleration, showing that they are not fictitious, but real parts of the gravitational force. In the lowest order v/c of the theory, Newtonian mechanics is obtained. The corrections that appear are shown to be just the terms present in Gravitoelectromagnetism. Ultimately, explaining inertia as a gravitational effect will allow us to derive an expression for the gravitational constant, enabling us to explain the apparent weakness of gravity. Such a unified theory of gravity and inertia has profound implications for the nature of mass and structure of elementary particles, as well as the origin of relativistic and quantum effects. This suggests a very different path towards a combined theory of relativity, gravity, and quantum mechanics, as well as elementary particles. This will be discussed in a subsequent paper.
