Core Concepts of Gravium Theory

Gravium Theory presents a bold, unified model of the universe grounded in objective observation and mechanical reality. Below are its foundational principles:

1. The Nature of Gravium

  • Gravium is a rigid, elastic medium that fills all space. It provides the mechanical foundation for gravity, electricity, and magnetism.

  • Compressed Gravium becomes less rigid—a behavior opposite to most materials. This negative strain-softening underlies gravitational phenomena.

2. The Nature of Particles

  • All particles are wavicles—localized distortions of gravium. Whether electrons, photons, or quarks, every particle is a structural pattern in this medium and cannot exist apart from the medium.

  • Mass and Compression: Particles with mass compress the surrounding gravium; massless particles like photons distort it without compression. The ability to compress the surrounding gravium is the definining quality of mass.

  • Charged particles distort gravium in opposite ways, possibly related to the intrinsic link between electric and magnetic fields. Opposite charges have an opposite effect on a magnetic field.

3. The Prime Frame of Reference (PFR)

  • The PFR is a unique, preferred frame of reference aligned with the gravitational field.

  • The PFR is the unique frame in which the speed of light is constant in all directions—unlike in relativistic models where all frames are considered equivalent.

  • The PFR is constantly changing due to the effect that the mass and motion of nearby Celestial objects have on gravium.

4. Forces and Interactions

  • Gravity arises from gradients in gravium rigidity around massive objects. Particles are pushed away from higher rigidity toward areas of less rigidity near massive objects. This makes it appear that they are being pulled by these objects.

  • Electric force emerges from opposing distortions caused by positive and negative charges.

  • Both gravitational and electromagnetic forces are manifestations of elastic potential energy in gravium. Particles are pushed in a direction that decreases the elastic potential energy of gravium.

5. Observable Implications

  • Atomic Contraction: Atoms contract when moving relative to the PFR or when they are near massive objects where gravium is less rigid.

  • This contraction of atoms provides an alternative explanation for “relativistic” effects such as time dilation and length contraction. It also explains why all Michelson—Morley type experiments fail to show the existence of a preferred frame of reference.

  • Gravium theory provides an explanation for inertia and how even massless particles have momentum. It also explains the “relativistic” mass of a particle.

Common Sense Realism

What Gravium Theory Affirms

Modern physics often asks us to believe in ideas that defy logic and everyday experience—like time slowing down, particles existing in two places at once, speed of light constant in all frames of reference, or space itself bending. Gravium Theory offers a refreshing alternative: a universe that makes sense.

Here are some common-sense truths Gravium Theory restores:

  • Forces are real and mechanical. Gravitational and electromagnetic forces are transmitted through a physical medium (gravium), not by mysterious “fields” or abstract mathematics alone.

  • Light travels through something. Light is a wave, and like all waves, it must propagate through a medium—gravium—not an empty vacuum.

  • Objects exist independently. Reality doesn’t depend on whether someone observes it. The moon doesn’t vanish when no one’s looking.

  • Time is absolute. Time flows uniformly. It does not stretch, slow, or warp depending on the observer’s relative speed or the strength of gravity.

  • Distance is absolute. The space between two objects is fixed and does not change based on an observer’s motion. Length is not relative—it is real.

  • There is a preferred frame. The Prime Frame of Reference is a logical anchor point for understanding light propagation, atomic clock behavior, and high velocity changes in inertia, kinetic energy, momentum, and mass.

  • Velocities add normally. If two photons travel toward each other at the speed of light, their relative speed is 2c—not c. One plus one equals two, not one.

  • Cause and effect are preserved. Events are not observer-defined. Physical interactions follow natural laws rooted in mechanical behavior.

  • The universe was designed with order. Its structure is discoverable, logical, and consistent with a purposeful Creator.
