"The Black Hole Myth"

---

The existence of Black Holes is based on the the idea that gravity can influence (bend) light rays in some manner. It is a simple premise - can a strong source of gravity effect light rays as they pass by?? This has been a favorite enigma of comologists and other scientists for many years.

In forming his General Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein used his famous thought experiments to try to prove that gravity can effect light rays. He claimed that acceleration creates the same effect on a beam of light as gravity and are therefore equivalent. “The Principle of Equivalence”. Although their effects are similar (but not exactly the same) they are not equivalent. Inertial acceleration is an inertial requirement that states a certain force must be exerted on a body for it to accelerate at a certain rate”. Gravity is just one of the primary energy/forces of nature that fulfills this requirement.

One of the ideas that misled Einstein to his conclusion was that a body dropped in an accelerating elevator behaved in exactly the same manner as it would if was dropped on the surface of Earth. If someone was inside the elevator there would be no way of knowing whether the elevator was “resting” on the ground or accelerating out in space.

Actually, the effects in both cases, are similar but not exactly the same. The truth is, Gravity causes bodies, dropped from various heights in the room “resting” on the ground, to fall at different rates of acceleration (due to their different distances in the room, to the center of gravity of the Earth) where as, all bodies in the accelerating elevator would seem to “fall” at exactly the same rate. This is true whether it takes place in a small room or dropped from an airplane at different altitudes in the sky.

Another factor that adds doubt to Einstein's theory is - the room was not actually “resting” on the ground - it is actually "pushing" against the ground, (I call it a constant state of "zero acceleration" as is everything else that is “pushing” against the surface of the earth. The obstructional force of the earth’s surface is constantly obstructing ("changing the body's acceleration from 32.2 ft/sec/sec to zero") all bodies “resting” on the surface of earth that would otherwise be accelerating - toward the Earth's center. If this obstructional force is removed the body will immediately resume falling (accelerating).

For example: Imagine a boat, with its motor off, its bow resting against a dock. This boat is not moving, it is at rest. Now imagine the same boat, this time with its motor running pushing against the dock. The boat again is not moving but now it is also not at rest. The dock is exerting an obstructional force preventing the boat from moving. This second case is analogous to a body's gravitational force "pushing" against the obstructional force of the ground. The body is not resting - it is constantly "pushing" against the gound. Therefore Einstein was wrong to state that the room was "resting" on the ground. It is actually in a state of "zero" acceleration, pushing against the ground.

So actually in both cases, the elevator is in a state of "acceleration" one caused by gravity, not moving but "pushing" against the ground the other caused by the electromotive force of the electric motors propelling the elevator upward.

Motion Relative to Absolute Space.

Michelson’s experiments failed to detect any motion of the Earth relative to absolute space. What it all boils down to is that - out in space in a rocket (or in Einstein’s elevator room) the rocket is only accelerating relative to other bodies - the body does not accelerate relative to space itself. Acceleration is only an effect that can be noticed between the motion of bodies not between a body and space itself. No motion can be detected between a body and space itself. There must always be at least one other body available to detect motion.

Space is all one - a body cannot move relative to space itself. Therefore the light beam would go directly to the other side of the room with no apparent deflection. There is no physical evidence to indicate that a beam of light would be effected by either inertial acceleration or gravitational acceleration whatsoever!

So why then do atomic clocks seem to slow down when they are accelerated to higher velocities? The answer is - because there is a slight change in the clock’s inertial mass/energy level similar to when a particle is accelerated to a higher mass/energy level in a cyclotron.

Why does the light from a star seem to be effected by a strong gravitational force as it passes by the sun? The answer is that it is the sun’s corona (see the picture above), which extends over a million of kilometers out from the sun, causes the star’s light to be optically displaced from its original position in the sky.

So there you have it - Black Holes are just a myth after all - Gravity can only influence the "inertial mass" of bodies and since photons have no mass whatsoever, it has absolutely no effect on light rays passing through strong gravitational fields.
