INERTIAL MASS/GRAVITATIONAL MASS EQUIVALENCE


CURRENT COSMOLOGY MODEL



So the original equivalence principle, as described by Einstein, concluded that free-fall (gravitational) and inertial motion were physically equivalent. This form of the equivalence principle can be stated as follows. An observer in a windowless room cannot distinguish between being on the surface of the Earth, and being in a spaceship in deep space accelerating at 1g. (Wikipedia 02 Mar 2012)



MALTA COSMOLOGY TEMPLATE

  • The principal properties of the teel are mass, spin, and rejectivity. (see Argument 0102)   
  • Every teel has the same mass. (see Argument 0103)  
  • Every teel occupies the whole of its place in space and time and therefore has the height, width, depth, and duration of that place in time.  (see Argument 0105)  
  • Every teel attracts every other teel in the Universe at a rate proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. (see Argument 0109)  
  • The effects of gravity are only apparent in teelpairs, the teels of which are attracted toward each other through their mutual gravitypull.  (see Argument 0111)  
  • Energy is a conserved property.  (see Argument 0114)  
    • Because every teel has rejectivity, and because energy is a conserved property, every teel has a measure of inertialmass. 
    • Because every teel attracts every other teel in the Universe, every teel has a measure of gravitationalmass. 
  • The mass of an object is the sum of the mass of the teels out of which it is made. 

COMMENTARY


Inertialmass and gravitationalmass can be equated mathematically (one unit of speed added to an object by  the "push" of inertialmass is equal to one unit of speed added by "pull" of gravitationalmass) and the observer in the windowless room will be unable to tell one from the other. Now, with the concept of teels fully realised, it is possible to see what is actually happening. In practice, the observer is subject to both inertialmass and gravitationalmass at the same time and the sensation (or lack thereof) being detected is due to the dominance of one over the other.

Here is Einstein's illustration reworked to the level of the teels:
  • Gravitationalmass is the gravitypull of a teel.
  • Gravitypull is a constant in that it is always on and always attracting.
  • Inertialmass is the rejectivity of a teel.
  • Rejectivity is not a constant in that it is only apparent when teels collide, at the moment of physical contact.
  • The windowless room is made out of teels and so is the observer standing inside it. 
  • When the room is on the surface of Planet Earth, the observerteels and the planetteels are subject to this multiprocess:
    • The gravitypull of the observerteels is attracting the planetteels upward.
    • The gravitypull of the planetteels is attracting the observerteels downward.
    • The combined gravitypull of the planet is greater than the gravitypull of the observer so it is the gravitypull of the planet that dominates. 
    • Because gravitypull is a constant, the observerteels and the planetteels are continually colliding.
    • The rejectivity of the observerteels is resisting the upward movement of the planetteels.
    • The rejectivity of the planetteels is resisting the downward movement of the observerteels. 
    • Rejectivity is an absolute. 
    • Thus the gravitypull attracting the observer downward is not enough to overcome the rejectivity  resisting it. 
    • Thus rejectivity (inertialmass) dominates gravitypull (gravitationalmass) to a value of 1g.    
  • When the room is within a spacecraft accelerating at 1g, the observerteels and the spacecraftteels are subject to this multiprocess:  
    • The gravitypull of the spacecraftteels is not enough to hold the observerteels to it (assuming this is not a huge spacecraft).
    • The spacecraftteels (energised by the motor) are accelerating at a constant 1g.
    • The spacecraftteels collide with the observerteels. 
    • During the collisions, speed is transferred from the spacecraftteels to the observerteels.
    • Because the spacecraftteels are being accelerated by the motor at a constant 1g the spacecraftteels are constantly colliding with the observerteels and accelerating them.
    • Thus any gravitypull present is insufficient to prevent the acceleration of the spacecraft and the observer.
    • Thus rejectivity (inertialmass) dominates gravitypull (gravitationalmass) to a value of 1g.


GLOSSARY

  • MASS:   the amount of matter in an object.
  • MULTIPROCESS:   Two or more distinct processes, each producing their own results (which may be contrary or complementary) which are thereafter apparent as a single combined result.  
  • REJECTIVITY:   A consequence of the law:  one particle cannot occupy a place in space and time already occupied by another of the same type.
