Rewriting the Book
Retirement has been wonderful. It’s given me more time with my grandkids and family, and also the space to keep working on my physics project. Recently, while developing a paper that I thought might demonstrate the presence of the Prime Frame of Reference (PFR), I came to a hard but important conclusion: my original mathematical model for the PFR does not hold up.
The Problem with the Old Model
In my book, I proposed that the PFR shifted around massive bodies like Earth or the Sun. Using that framework, I calculated the behavior of orbiting clocks in the GPS system. The results were close, but not close enough. My model differed from the relativity-based calculation by about 43 nanoseconds per day. That equates to a 1 second error in 64,000 years. I had initially thought that this might be negligable enough, but then as I studied how all the error variables are corrected for the GPS, I realized it was too large of an error to ignore.
A Different Approach
I then tried another model, basing the PFR effect on the tidal influence of celestial bodies instead of their gravitational pull. For the satellite clock, this worked beautifully. The error dropped from 43 nanoseconds/day to only 17 picoseconds/day, an error so small it would take 161 million years to accumulate one second. That’s negligible.
But there was a trade-off. While the satellite clock matched well, the Earth-based clock ended up with a 24 nanoseconds/day error. That was too large. After working through the implications, I had to conclude: the PFR is not altered by the mass of celestial objects. Instead, it must be a fixed inertial frame of reference — most likely the same as the reference frame defined by the cosmic microwave background.
Where This Leaves Gravium Theory
This shift doesn’t undermine gravium theory itself or the mechanism for action at a distance. What it does mean is that measuring the PFR with today’s technology may be far harder than I hoped. It also means the presentation of the theory in my book needs a substantial rewrite.
For that reason, I’ve taken Action at a Distance off Amazon. My plan is to revise it from the ground up, presenting gravium theory in a clearer and stronger way. That will take some months, but I believe the effort is worthwhile.
I still believe in the PFR and in gravium theory. The details have changed, but the vision remains. This rewrite is the next step forward. I’ll share updates along the way. Stay tuned
