Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around L. Riofrio's gravitational model, specifically her proposed relation GM = tc^3. Participants are exploring the origins of this relation, its implications, and its connection to established concepts in cosmology and gravitational theory.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks clarification on the origins of the relation GM = tc^3 and its connection to the known equation GM = rv^2 for orbits.
  • Another participant mentions that Riofrio's approach involves a fresh perspective on the universe's total mass and the Hubble constant, suggesting a need to compare her results with standard cosmology.
  • A later reply raises a foundational question regarding the potential implications of a changing speed of light (C) over time, specifically questioning whether this indicates a violation of conservation laws.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus, as there are multiple competing views regarding the implications of Riofrio's model and its relationship to established cosmological principles.

Contextual Notes

There are unresolved questions regarding the assumptions underlying Riofrio's model, particularly concerning the changing nature of physical constants and their implications for conservation laws.

In this http://www-conf.slac.stanford.edu/einstein/Talks/aspauthor2004_3.pdf" L. Riofrio introduces a GM = tc^3 relation. where does this come from. Please help

I know that GM=rv^2 for orbits. This is simple enough, but She also introduces a r=ct term and v=c I'd like to know whee this comes from.

Well, the general framework is that, beyond Newton constant, the universe has some empirical data http://pdg.lbl.gov/2009/reviews/rpp2009-rev-astrophysical-constants.pdf and you could look for relationships between. I understand that Louise tries a fresh approach to universe total mass, M, and Hubble constant, 1/t. But after looking at it, you should go to standard cosmology and compare results..

Another foundational question. Here it seems in her paper C is changing with time. IS there a violation of the conservation laws here
