Can Reverse Gravitational Force be Used for Interstellar Travel?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the concept of Reverse Gravitational Force and its potential application for interstellar travel. Participants explore theoretical aspects of gravitational interactions, the nature of mass, and the implications of these ideas on travel beyond our solar system.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested
  • Conceptual clarification

Main Points Raised

  • One participant introduces the idea of Reverse Gravitational Force as a counterforce to gravity, suggesting it could be tested with precise instruments.
  • Equations are presented to describe Reverse Gravitational Force, though the participant expresses uncertainty about their correctness.
  • Another participant questions the feasibility of remaining stationary while moving through a door, implying a thought experiment related to the concept of Reverse Gravitational Force.
  • A participant discusses the properties of antimatter and matter, proposing a distinction between potential mass and kinetic mass, and suggesting that photons do not possess gravitational mass.
  • There is a claim that gravity cannot exist between two objects of equal mass due to equal forces of attraction or repulsion.
  • One participant asserts that Reverse Gravitational Force is significantly less than gravitational force.
  • A question is raised about how to increase Reverse Gravitational Force to enable interstellar travel.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express a variety of viewpoints, with no consensus reached on the validity of Reverse Gravitational Force or its implications for travel. Multiple competing ideas about mass and gravitational interactions are presented, indicating ongoing debate.

Contextual Notes

Participants acknowledge potential flaws in their equations and theories, indicating that assumptions and definitions may be unclear or unresolved. The discussion includes speculative ideas about mass and gravity that have not been rigorously defined.

(Sorry, I'm testing with the 'tex' code)

Reverse Gravitational Force is the opposite force of Gravity.

It is it that keeps two bodies from not moving EXACTLY into the areas given by [itex]F=\frac {G_m_1_m_2} {r^2}[/itex]...

You can test it by using EXTREMELY precise instruments, and checking if an object on a seesaw with its more massive counterpart align exactly to form a perfectly balanced seesaw.(Of course, you put friction into the picture...duh :-p )

Reverse Gravity applies to both objects(in a two body system)...(By the way)

Here are the equations...they may be flawed(of course, this all may be untrue! :wink: )...


[tex]R_g_1=\frac{r^2}{Gm_1^2}[/tex]
[tex]R_g_2=\frac{r^2}{Gm_2^2}[/tex]
[tex]D_t_1=\frac{t(R_g_1)}{m}[/tex]
[tex]D_t_2=\frac{t(R_g_2)}{m}[/tex]
[tex]T_D_t_1=t(F_2-R_g_1)[/tex]
[tex]T_D_t_2=t(F_1-R_g_2)[/tex]
[tex]R_g_i_t_b=\frac{r^2}{Gm_1m_2}<br /> <br /> Hope that's correct!(Lemme go check my notebook...)<br /> <br /> Where F equals Gravitational Force, [itex]R_g[/itex] equals Reverse Gravitational Force(with distinctions of which body it is applying to), [itex]D_t[/itex] equals the Distance traveled because of the Reverse Gravitational force(again with distinctions), [itex]R_g_i_t_b[/itex] equals the Reverse Gravity in two bodies, [itex]T_D_t[/itex] equals the total distance traveled because of Gravity and Reverse Gravity, [itex]G[/itex] equals Newton's Gravitational Constant, [itex]m_1[/itex] equals the mass of the more massive body, and [itex]m_2[/itex] equals the mass of the less massive body.<br /> <br /> By the way, this has been edited from its original content to fit the screen of your brain. :p<br /> <br /> Though I did edit this.[/tex]

Can I still go out of the door and remain where I'd like to be?

LOL!

Sure!

;)
 
:-p

Finally got it!
 
Anyone Here?
 
Antimatter and matter possesses inertial mass which is equivalent to gravitational mass. Due to this mass property they are both affected by gravity. But pure bosonic particles (e.g. photons) according to my research should not have inertial or gravity mass hence cannot be affected by gravity. The mass of the photon is defined as the kinetic mass (mass of motion in contrast to inertial mass as mass of rest). When there is kinetic mass, concept of momentum can be defined.

Actually, my research theorizes the existence of two kinds of mass. The potential and the kinetic mass.

Total mass of particle = potential mass + kinetic mass.

Further the total mass of particle only has a minimum but no maximum value. The property of mass has a lower bound but no upper bound.

Oh, and those are all in the point of view of the more massive one.
 
If there is no disparity of mass (very large and very small), then gravity cannot exist between two objects of equal mass because the forces of push or pull would be exactly equal.
 
No, Rg is A LOT less than G.

How do we make Rg very large so that we can travel to the star?
