SOOWEE'S NEW "THEORY" OF GRAVITY

(See 4/11/16)

My new "theory" of gravity (really a mere hypothesis or pretentious guess) purports to unify the four fundamental sub-atomic forces, three of which (electromagnetism, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force) have already been "unified" as different manifestations of the electromagnetic spectrum.

I realize that my new "theory" may have already been considered and discarded within the scientific community, but I have never read about it, so here goes:

I believe it is correct to say that it is generally believed among the scientific community that gravity behaves in a manner consistent with quantum particle behavior, in that it expresses both particle and wave characteristics. I believe it is also correct to say that it is generally believed that gravity is a very weak force overall, but very persistent, traveling long distances, which seems contradicting. I presume (fatuously?) there are devices which can measure differentiated gravitational forces.

In Technology Review, Vol. 111, No. 3 (May/June, 2008), Nate Nickerson's article on the last page about particle physics 69 years ago jogged my thinking. Therein he quotes Phillip M. Morse, further citing some research by a Japanese physicist Yukawa differentiating the type of "non-electric" yet radioactive particle or wave given off when neutrons are transformed into protons, presumably by collision.

I had always thought that any radiation was within the measurable spectrum of electromagnetism, just as visible light is within that spectrum. The only difference is that radiation is at a much higher frequency/shorter wavelength than radio waves or light.

Suppose that gravity is also in that same spectrum, but at a frequency so high (or so low?) and wavelength so short (or long?) that it cannot be measured with existing instruments. That is pure speculation on my part, but I have never seen that supposition addressed or dismissed in the few scientific writings that I have read. Suppose that gravity is at one "end," or near the "end" of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is probably and actually infinite, as likely is the universe. It could well be at the practical "end" since perhaps no other force or phenomenon in nature is to be found "above" or "below" it.

I posit the possibility that gravity is at the ultra-low end of the spectrum rather than the ultra-high end of the spectrum because its weak effects are realized over long distances consistent with a long wave of very short amplitude.

Perhaps this could be tested like Einstein's Theory of General Relativity during a total eclipse of the Sun, as follows: as Einstein's Theory predicted, we know that gravity will bend known electromagnetic waves (like light). If, in fact, gravity is an electromagnetic wave itself, then perhaps gravity can bend gravity. If so, could the Moon's gravity bend the Sun's gravity in such a way that, during a total eclipse, that portion of the Sun's gravity bending around the Moon would be focused like a lens on some part of the Earth while the Moon would be inhibiting a portion of the Sun's gravity with its own mass, such that a differential in measured solar gravity could be observed in the shaded area of the eclipse? Of course, one must exclude the force of the Moon's own gravity thereabout. Would the alignment of the Sun and the Moon create a greater measurable gravity there? I don't know.

I don't know if any of this has ever been considered or if there has ever been an attempt to measure it, but it did occur to me while reading Nickerson's article, so I thought I should write it down while I was thinking of it.
