SUMMARY

The equation D=E/pi proposed by a Lethbridge student suggests a novel explanation for gravity and other fundamental forces. It posits that variations in distance (D) influenced by energy (E) can cause light to bend around massive objects like the sun, leading to gravitational effects. The theory also extends to atomic behavior and the strong nuclear force, proposing that a negative value for pi could reverse gravitational attraction into repulsion. Ongoing discussions among local physicists aim to validate or refute this theory, although skepticism exists regarding its scientific legitimacy due to the lack of formal publication.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic physics concepts, including gravity and light propagation.
  • Familiarity with Einstein's theory of relativity, particularly E=mc².
  • Knowledge of atomic structure and subatomic particles.
  • Awareness of scientific publication standards and peer review processes.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of D=E/pi in gravitational physics.
  • Study Einstein's theory of relativity and its applications in modern physics.
  • Explore the behavior of light in gravitational fields, particularly in the context of general relativity.
  • Investigate the criteria for scientific legitimacy and the peer review process in physics journals.
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, researchers exploring gravitational theories, and anyone interested in the intersection of energy and distance in fundamental physics.

"Lethbridge student solves Universe"
in todays local paper.

A young lad has postulated that D=distance
D=E/pi

The theory on how it explains gravity is that if distance is altered by E then a beam of light traveling around say the sun would encounter a greater distance on one side of the wave than on the other.

Since the wave travels at a constant of c and one one side the distance to be traveled is greater then one side of the wave would take longer to pass than the other causing it to bend and change its direction.

In an atom a sub atomic particle would spend more time on one side of the atom than on the other thus causing the entire atom to move in that direction.

The theory on how it explains strong nuclear force is a little more involved but just as plausible,

If the equation were to become a negative (negative value for pi) then instead of things being pulled to the center of something they would be pushed, and instead of the force getting stronger the farther in the force would stronger the farther out.

The equation goes on to explain black holes a little more complex yet but again still understandable at first glance.

With this equation giving a relative value for distance and E=mc2 giving a relative value for time a velocity can be created by factoring the two.
if the product of relative distance and relative time were greater than light speed relative to us then light could not ever reach us at the observation point and a black hole would be observed.

At this point myself and other physicists at the local university are figuring out ways to prove or disprove the theory but so far have only been successful at finding more ways to prove it.

I'd like to hear what others have to think about the idea, hope to hear from you soon.

We really discourage discussion like this.

Unless you have a specific citation on which physics journal this has been published, I'm sure you will see that a discussion on this will not be anything meaningful. This is because (i) we will have to rely on your reporting of a newspaper report (3rd hand news), and (ii) we really don't have an exact idea of what actually has been done. We also do not know if this is crackpottery, or something really legitimate - your local newspaper isn't a physics journal and may even have a section on horroscopes.

If you have a specific, exact citation, then let me know and I'll reopen this thread. If not, this type of discussion doesn't belong here per our Guidelines.
