[General] Stiffness of space

[John Macken]

Hi Chip,

 

I do have an answer for your question about the stiffness of space.  I have been working on this for a long time and I believe that I have come up with some amazing results.  Attached is my latest version of a paper I have been writing on this subject.  Here is the abstract from this paper.

 

Abstract: Gravitational waves (GWs) have some characteristics of acoustic waves. For example, GWs have amplitude, frequency, intensity, propagation speed and encounter spacetime as having a quantifiable impedance.  These characteristics permit GWs to be analyzed to obtain the apparent “acoustic” properties of spacetime. The result is that GWs encounter spacetime as if it is an extremely stiff elastic medium with a large energy density. The energy density encountered by GWs scales with frequency squared and equals Planck energy density (∿10113 J/m3) at Planck frequency. This matches the vacuum energy density predicted by quantum field theory at this frequency. This finding makes a new contribution to one of the major mysteries of physics known as the cosmological constant problem. An analysis of the GW designated GW150914 is also given as a numerical example. A model of vacuum energy is proposed to be Planck length vacuum fluctuations at Planck frequency.

Hi John H

 

Not like inertia.

 

Chandra and I both feel that space is comprised of a tension medium.

But if that is the case then it seems that medium must be very “stiff”. 

So that it would take a large force to displace space a small amount.

But the stiffness would be due to the tensor strength of the medium.  

Space would then be “frictionless” for all practical purposes. But would oppose displacement with a force.

"Stiff" like inertia?

Hi John M

 

Earlier, while reading your work, I noticed you discussed the stiffness of space.

 

I am looking for some insight into how to quantify just how “stiff” the medium of space is.  Hoping to relate fundamental force to fundamental displacement.

 

Do you have any thoughts on how to address this issue?

 

Chip
