Were it not for the overwhelming gravity of earth and other large bodies; the stone (image left) released from David’s sling could be pulled all the way to the stars and even the Orion nebula where the Pharaohs sought their afterlife.  The image above hauntingly symbolizes the wisdom of well known ancients, centrifugal force, inertia, and gravity. 

The significance may not be fully appreciated until

after you have read the “Olber’s” and “Inertia” pages, (links at bottom of this one).  Every time you push a car, throw a Frisbee, swing a lasso, use a flywheel, navigate with a gyrocompass, or simply move; the pulls of stars are involved.  

We have been using the pulls of stars for a very long time.  It is only now however, that we are on the threshold of putting them to amazingly effective use.

 ·      Understanding what the universe is made of and the how and why; not equations that work very well but explain little.  Paradoxes and mysteries – gone.  From understanding there comes action and the ability to solve some problem you are working on by approaching it from a new perspective. 

·      A whole ‘new’ class of matter not detectable by direct means is predicted. 

This type of matter could lift science out of its stall, render fossil fuels obsolete and literally take us to the stars.

·      Your descendants can be spared the hardships of energy cost or possible global warming.  Herein is the only real solution to pollution and energy problems on or off this planet. 

This site is directed to the broadest audience possible.  That is why it brings disparate theories together and is not styled like a formal scientific paper.  To gain full benefit from this content you will have to temporarily break away from reductionism and specialization.

It seems the tendency to compartmentalize data is strongest in men.  This video is hilarious and you are

sure to recognize how metaphorically true it is.  Thinking “outside the box” takes on a new meaning. Hopefully you will then not jump on the first minutia saying, “that’s wrong because…”  Please wait until you see how it fits everything else better than conventional wisdom.  For science to progress it is time to connect the dots, look at the big picture and see the forest instead of trees (pardon the clichés).

The Starpulls Theory is a slightly different view to conventional wisdom but nothing conflicts with observation or experimental results.  This site is mainly about how and why contemporary theories work the way they do, rather than fundamental changes. 

“Energy link(s)” is really the only new bit of terminology added (plus adjectives).  It is the one and only thing that can fit them all together. Einstein and Newton were both correct; in fact all of the masters were essentially right.  As we go through these pages, please step back, suspend disbelief, and see how all aspects of the physical world are easily reinterpreted.

Questions that arise will likely be explained when you read other pages linked to.  “All the lights will come on”, when you realize it is all consistent, self-reinforcing at every level; and makes simple sense.

Being able to explain almost everything (except missing socks) is what really validates this theory.  Taking the ‘big view’ allows us to “stand on the shoulders of giants” and come up with this synthesis.

Existing theories are explained and unified regardless whether originally belonging to the Classical, Relativity or Quantum Mechanics solitudes.  Many paradoxes and mysteries are also cleared up for which existing theories have no explanation at all.

The understanding of gravity and how to control it only came to light after 18 years studying how all four forces in the universe work.  It turns out that gravity is not the oddball force, but the most fundamental one.  Gravity is simply links of energy that pull.

(Newton came closer than anybody before or since).

Hold a magnet over steel and pass your finger between them.  You experience the energy pulling the magnet but cannot see or feel what lies between.  Energy is inextricably linked with matter but is not one and the same.  Energy is for lack of a better term, “un-matter”; the yin for the yang.

Potential energy, momentum, kinetic energy etc. are manifestations but not energy in its most fundamental form.  Energy has only ever been loosely defined in terms of something else, e.g. the ability to do work.

Westerners are so used to reductionism that they cannot think of energy as a distinct and fundamental entity. Energy is not made of something else.  Language fails us but energy is energy, is energy – full stop. 

Sorry - no turtles.

Energy currently exists in two basic forms:

·      Discrete energy potentials or ‘dark energy’ which pervades the whole universe and that includes the still controversial great hole or “void” recently discovered. 

·      Energy potentials melded together into one-dimensional lines, forming a dense, always changing, matrix of links between particles near or far. How can anything move through such a maze?  The page on Inertia has the answer.

Energy links are the only truly continuous entities in the universe. These links can be bundled and the bundles sub-divided or combined, but constituent links are the most fundamental of all quanta.

Some of the pages contain animated GIFs (not ActiveX executables). Some security software cannot tell the difference however, and may require temporary relaxation of ad blocking settings to view the action.

The ‘Gravity & Strong Force’ page not only reveals the quantum nature of Gravity but also shows how mutual shielding turns it into the Strong Force.  Other pages reveal natural gravity shields in a continuum of sizes from the sub-atomic range to macro aggregations that

are displaced by our atmosphere and exist only in space.  While reading how energy links act in these pages, you may become impatient to know how they can extend from one body to another and then pull. Have you ever seen the TV animation showing one man throwing a ball (boson) to another, causing the two men to inexplicably come together?  The action of energy links will gradually but truly become clear; and is all wrapped up on the pages for expansion of the universe, and force unification.

World-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking has recently spoken out on several occasions.  Prof. Hawking said; “If humans can avoid killing themselves in the next 100 years, they should have space settlements that can continue without support from Earth.”

NASA offers a dim ray of hope for building a colony on the moon’s south pole by 2024.  Will they continue to use the difficult and expensive way?  Right now we can’t even afford material and launch costs to support the International Space Station, let alone start self-supporting colonies.

When it comes to motive power; we have made essentially zero progress for centuries since fireworks and steam power were first discovered.   

First we had steam engines, then internal combustion engines, then rockets & jets.  Incredibly, they are all still driven by expanding gas.  Gunpowder much like in fireworks still produces expanding gas to propel most munitions.   Nuclear simply replaced the ‘dirty’ coal fire to generate steam.  It is the expanding water vapour which drives turbines and generates electricity. All of these impressive modern applications are still mere variations on one same theme - - - - the power of expanding gas!  

We have already milked that one for all it was worth so do not expect anything significant to follow.  

We are still wasting non-renewable fuel to produce expanding gas.

All we have to do is learn to use energy directly, in its most ubiquitous form in the universe - - - Gravity.  Hydro-electric and Tidal power are steps in the right direction, notwithstanding ecological concerns.  The Natural Gravity Shields link at the bottom of this page is the key.

We learned to control the Electromagnetic force and have electrons scurrying through “tunnels” and almost literally jumping through hoops.  We also have primitive control of the Strong and Weak forces - - so why not Gravity?  Because we have been lulled into defeatism thinking that Gravity is not a force but only geometry. The latter belief is partly true, but self-contradictory.  Why would a body follow that geometry without something to make it go?  Much more is explained on other pages.

Just in case a reader may have elsewhere come across concerns that we might “run out of gravity”, rest easy.  Gravity is part of a closed-loop energy system in which nothing is ever lost.  The concept will become clear after reading other pages, especially the one dealing with expansion of the universe.

In like manner, a story describing the total loss of our atmosphere still lingers in the minds of some.  The “H.G. Wells Fiction” page dispels that fear.

It has been my experience in corporate matters, research, and domestic dilemmas that people will try a new theory only when they get really desperate and nothing else works.   As energy prices and possible global warming become problematic we should ask ourselves on an on-going basis: 

Are we desperate enough yet?

The May ’06 issue of Scientific American reported that one of my predictions has been proved by physical experiment.  (In green on the ‘Why is the Universe Expanding?” page).  It profoundly, goes right to the heart of the nature of matter and energy.

Using the RHIC accelerator to smash gold nuclei together, conditions just after the big bang were duplicated. The physicist’s amazing “surprise”? The resulting medium temporarily behaves not like a gas or plasma but a “nearly perfect fluid”. 

During the inflation period, I predicted that continuous energy became more disperse. This is analogous to a phase change in matter from a liquid or fluid to a high pressure gas.

I further suggest that the liquid behavior will be even more evident in higher energy experiments using lead nuclei, slated for the LHC in 2008. 

Reported on page 12 of Discover, April ’07 issue, more of my predictions have been born out by experimental evidence.  (In green on the ‘Why is the Universe Expanding?” page). 

Data from the Hubble have now been calibrated against data from the WMAP satellite.  The result is a history of the universe’s growth of “unprecedented accuracy and depth”.  

These data support my earlier statements about the omnipresence of dark energy since the BB; and it being the cause of expanding space. 

The reason for the current acceleration in expansion is still a mystery to most cosmologists however. These data also support my explanation that it is simply because the more galaxies separate, the less their gravity is able to counteract it.  Item by item, the overall Starpulls theory is being proved the hard way.  

The Hubble will be enhanced with a Cosmic Origins Spectrograph. The (COS) will probe large-scale structure of the universe whose form is determined by the gravity of Dark Matter. 

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be much more powerful.  They should find a large and massive particle around 150 GeV and may think it is the “Higgs Boson”.  If they push to the max. 14 TeV however, the author predicts discovery of an embarrassing continuum of still larger “Higgs Bosons”. 

They are all really natural gravity shields whose constituents become “visible” after being wedged apart by the colliding nuclei.

Scientists also hope to find what mass is, and what gives matter its mass.  The Standard Model predicted a Higgs field which would be the same throughout the universe, and it would give matter its mass.  That however was before Dark Energy was known to exist.  As mentioned on several other pages, mass is simply the measured pull of energy links.

In addition, as described on the page for Expansion of the Universe, energy links are a product of the dark energy potentials in the universal “sink”.  It is therefore fair to say that Dark Energy is really what gives matter its mass.  All of this will hopefully be more proof for this site’s Starpulls theory.
