DCC THE CENTRIFUGAL MODEL STEP 3

NOTE: neologies and ambiguous terms clarified in GLOSSARY are marked "[G]". In previous steps the observer OF ascertained the existence of field in F and, looking at F from OI's point of view considered it as acceleration field generated by rotation of F. He noticed that F's geometry was non-Euclidean and that its curvature (indicated by the ratio S/R) increased with R, thus with the tangential speed, thus with the strength of the acceleration Field. These findings are essential, but much too vague to found a Theory. In order to refine them we will look at F in more detail considering it as stand alone referential. We may therefore drop the indicator "F" and designate radius, circumference, unit rod, etc. as Rn, Sn, Un, ... We shall consider in F several circles Sn of radii Rn. Inside of S1 field is negligible and geometry Euclidean. Let's, as in step 1, make a straight unit rod of length U1 covering with acceptable approximation an element dS1 of S1. Let's further construct an elementary physical spatial body D (detector) in form of cube dX2*dX3*dX4=ds^3, where ds=dS1. By physical we mean that D is capable to react to potential forces of Field and in turn to create acceleration Field when accelerated. (A rotating physical body generates for instance Coriolis Field, etc.) D may be used as free falling LIR (Local Inertial Referential), as a covering body of 3D space patterns, etc. Let's further consider OF free to observe F via instruments of OI, seeing F as rotating and attributing its Field to acceleration, or to use his own laboratory, observing F as stationary and attributing its Field to gravity. Then, let's associate F with an orthogonal coordinates system: X1: lighttime ct X2: a particular R X3: orthogonal to X2 in the plane of S1 X4: orthogonal to the plane of S1. This system will be cartesian within S1 and outside of it will become Gaussian, embracing the #Space[G] curvature generated by Field.

FREE FALLING D IN CENTRIFUGAL ACCELERATION FIELD.

Let: t: time observed by OI. Rt: R reached by D at t. VRt: R component of free fall speed at t. St: circumference of a circle of Rt (or "circle St"). W: constant angular speed of F = 1. VSt: tangential speed at t Then: Centrifugal force K(Rt)=Vt^2/Rt=Rt*W^2 = Rt (as W=1) Thus acceleration A(Rt)=K(Rt)=Rt Consequently Rt is a simple linear function of e^t. We shall take as first approximation Rt=e^t. Then, due to f'(e^t) = e^t: Rt=VRt=ARt=e^t. VRt causes Lorentz Contraction (LC) of D(Rt) thus dilating and bending dRt. Rt as the whole dilates by factor of integral of these dRt's from 0 to t. VSt=Rt (as W=1) resulting in LC in X3 direction. As rough approximation we shall assume the curvature of dRt as inverse of its LC: dRt/dRIt. (LC=1/gamma). VX4t is local centrifugal effect caused by curvature of dRt. Finally curvature of Rt combined with VSt generates VCt Coriolis component directed along tangential speed when D moves along R towards increasing curvature. Thus in our case VCt adds to VSt and contributes to LC(X3), in a decisive way with increasing t. Postulate of constant C requires: dX1^2 = dX2^2+dX3^2+dX4^2 Simple calculation gives: ______________________________________________ t__________11_____12______12.6____12.605_12.61 e^t_________59874_162754__296558__298045_299539 LC(X2(t))__0.9798_0.84____0.1510__0.1139_0.0554 dX2(t)_____1.0205_1.1904__6.6210__8.7738_18.046 dX3(t)_____1.0829_1.8341__86.675__152.96_650.30 dX4(t)_____1.0205_1.1904__6.6210__8.7738_18.046 dX1(t)_____1.8043_3.0878__87.180__153.02_650.80 V(X2(t))___33863___62745___22523___17089_460.29 V(X3(t))___69118__149385__298255__299800_299800 ______________________________________________ DISCUSSION: On a sphere we observe Coriolis forces oriented in the direction of rotation when the detector moves from smaller to greater curvature. Analogically, D falling free at Rt will observe Coriolis force of magnitude growing with dSt/dRt and oriented in the direction of rotation. The original R direction of the free fall is bent towards the direction of rotation. With LC tending towards 0 D's trajectory tends towards S. At the limit D will rotate along a boundary Sb of Rb which it will never cross. This purely abstract consideration approximated by introduction of "horizon radius" Rh<Rb in our case t approximately greater than 12.6 . The region between Sh and Sb is undetermined and represents the "Black Matter" ring. (see "Disambiguation" of DCD THE CENTRIPETAL MODEL STEP 4 ). Observable phenomena stop at the "Horizon Radius" Rh or at the centrifugal "Event Horizon" circle Sh. Let's note that dR (dX2) increases exponentially with t while the speed along R after having reached a maximum decreases with t. At the theoretical boundary Rb the speed along R becomes 0, so that D will never cross it and will rotate at C along Sb. But, as we said, this is purely abstract and physically speaking D will touch the event horizon Sh at a very sharp angle and disappear from observable PS. Let's note that VS (V(X3(t))) increases when approaching the event horizon. We shall recall it in the next, more realistic centripetal model, trying to justify the precession of the perihelion of a theoretical planet simulating Mercury. In our example when we reach the event horizon, for approximately t=12.6, the numerically most sensitive V(X3(t)) becomes close to C, but it's exact value is obscured by round off error. The present centrifugal model is not most pertinent from the cosmological point of view, but is very much easier for initial, intuitive considerations. That's why Einstein used it as entry to GR. In the next step we shall consider the more pertinent but more complex centripetal model. Before moving into it it seems advisable to have a clear understanding of the present, centrifugal step, including the details of the free fall table calculation shown in Appendix.

COMMENTS

Calculations of STEP 3 are not precise and have only indicative value guiding qualitative intuition. As such they seem correct. The qualitative statements that for the free falling LIR, R and S tend to infinity, S much faster than R, and that Time slows down to zero appear to be correct. The whole train of thought can only give a rough qualitative indication, indispensable for further mathematical refining, but not precise as such. The main reason is that we were taking 1)LC(Rt), deducing from it the rotational 2)LC(St), the Coriolis 3)LC(St) and 4)LC(X4). Now, that's not exact: 1) cannot be taken separately, because it's affected recursively by its effects 2,3,4. And, we should not forget, affected also by LC(X1), the lighttime dimension. To cut short a long story, we would have to have some construct Lambda expressing all mutual actions of all 4 dimensions on one another i.e. having 16 dimensions reduced by symmetry to 10, corresponding to the continuum in which GR's curved 4D #Space is embedded. Lambda presupposes a metric. Now, to the best of our knowledge nobody determined a metric for centrifugal model, not because it's more difficult than the centripetal, but because it has not been considered interesting from the cosmological point of view. Such metric (eg. Schwarzschild's) exists for centripetal Model, which we shall discuss it in the next chapter.

Rt: R reached by D at t. VRt: R component of free fall speed at t. St: circumference of a circle of Rt (or circle St). W: constant angular speed of F = 1. VSt: tangential speed at t Then: Centrifugal force K(Rt)=Vt^2/Rt=Rt*W^2 = Rt (as W=1) Thus acceleration A(Rt)=K(Rt)=Rt Consequently Rt is a simple linear function of e^t. We shall take as first approximation Rt=e^t. Then, due to f'(e^t) = e^t: Rt=VRt=ARt=e^t. VRt causes LC of D(Rt) thus dilating and bending dRt. Rt as the whole dilates by factor of integral of these dRt's from 0 to t. VSt=Rt (as W=1) resulting in LC in X3 direction. As rough approximation we shall assume the curvature of dRt as inverse of its LC: dRt/dRIt. (LC=1/gamma). VX4t is local centrifugal effect caused by curvature of dRt. Finally curvature of Rt combined with VSt generates VCt Coriolis component directed along tangential speed when D moves along R towards increasing curvature. Thus in our case VCt cumulates relativistically with VSt and contributes to LC(X3), in a decisive way with increasing t. Postulate of constant C requires: dX1^2 = dX2^2+dX3^2+dX4^2 Let's call v=VRt, a=ARt: Rt=v=a=e^t.
