A Test to Prove Gravity Has Mass

If you don’t post your math calculations I will assume it is more bullshit.

Hi Brian.

It is possible to prove gravity has mass mathematically.

Background

Per Einstein, E = m*c2

Energy = mass x (speed of light squared)

This formula is not dissimilar to Newton's famous equation:

F = m*a

Force = mass x acceleration

Hypothesis

Gravity is a force. All types of force contain energy. Energy and mass are different forms of the same thing (note the all important equal sign in einstein's equation) which is to say they cannot exist independently of one another.

Consider for example a wave on the ocean. The wave is comprised of two essential components. Mass and energy. If one were to remove either one of these components, the wave would cease to be a wave.

On an atomic level, all atoms have mass. However, if they lacked energy, they would cease to be atoms.

It is not possible to remove all energy from an atom. To do so would require lowering the temperature of the atom to zero degrees kelvin (which is impossible). The closest one may come to this is a Bose-einstein condensate (a few millionths of a degree above absolute zero) when atoms begin to enter a state of non-existence.

They begin to enter a state of non-existence because quantum probability (in terms of quanta) is about to become quantum certainty, and nature does not merely abhor certainty. It forbids its existence (on a quantum level).

Lene Vestergaard Hau led a team from Harvard in 1999 and slowed a beam of light to 17 m/s using a superfluid. So Bose-Einstein condensates are fun to play with (if you can get the funding).

Accordingly there cannot be energy unless there is mass, and there cannot be mass unless there is energy.

Conclusion

As gravity (being a force) has energy, accordingly gravity must also have mass.

I respectfully suggest the test the subject of this thread is unnecessary. It is mathematically impossible for gravity to be massless.

Mathematical equations are abstract, they really don’t prove anything.
Physical tests are proof positive.
