Graviton Pressure Theory

A causal account of gravity as pressure from a field of gravitons. Start with the pathway: what gravity must explain, what current theory leaves unexplained, then the mechanism.

The pathway: start here

  1. Start Here: Graviton Pressure Theory GPT is presented here in the order it was built. The sequence matters because it prevents the most common failure mode in gravity discussion: beginning with a preferred f… 3 min · text
  2. The Gravity Constraint Set It records what gravity demonstrably does, across scales and contexts, and states the minimum explanatory obligations any theory must meet to be considered complete rathe… 4 min · text
  3. Audit Questions for Theoretical Completeness Each constraint is transformed into direct audit questions that any proposed theory of gravity must answer in its own terms. 3 min · text
  4. The GR Silence Map It does not argue that GR is “wrong.” It states, as precisely as possible, where GR speaks, where it remains silent, and what is typically substituted in place of mechani… 9 min · text
  5. The Reduction Conflation This paper examines a specific and underanalyzed epistemic practice in gravitational physics: the use of the claim that "General Relativity reduces to Newtonian mechanics… 91 min · text
  6. The Logical Closure of the Equivalence Principle The Equivalence Principle says gravity and acceleration feel the same. This audit asks what was accepted when that was read as saying they are the same, compares the rock… 80 min · text
  7. The Operational Constraints of the Equivalence Principle If weight is the Equivalence Principle's acceleration and the planet's surface is not moving outward, the medium of space must be moving inward. From that one constraint … 10 min · text
  8. Why Graviton Pressure Theory Is Not “Alternative Gravity” The phrase “alternative gravity” sounds innocuous, even fair-minded. It suggests a marketplace of competing ideas, each offering a different story about the same phenomen… 4 min · text
  9. The Mechanics of the Medium Modern physics predicts outcomes with extraordinary precision yet fails to provide causal mechanisms for inertia, momentum transfer in free fall, time dilation, charge pe… 183 min · text

Papers

  1. From General Relativity to Graviton Pressure Theory Why General Relativity describes gravity without explaining it, and what a force-based model offers in its place. The best first paper for newcomers. 61 min · text
  2. The Paradox of the Boulder A worked audit of what each framework says is physically happening when a boulder rests on a moving, rotating Earth. 21 min · text
  3. A Causal Audit of Motion Falling, examined step by step: what a causal account of motion must name, and where geometric descriptions stop. 22 min · text
  4. Structure Before Uncertainty Why a universe that works reliably at every scale calls for mechanism, not only probability, with charge treated as a bias in the medium's flow. 21 min · text
  5. Transitional Mechanics A direct mapping of classical mechanics into Graviton Pressure Theory: each familiar force restated as field pressure acting on structure. 12 min · text
  6. What Graviton Pressure Theory Corrects A summary of the specific problems in current gravitational physics that Graviton Pressure Theory sets out to correct. 10 min · text
