The Modification and Extension of the Equivalence Principle

Jianan Wang (2023)

In this article, the strong equivalence principle is analyzed by the gravitational mechanism of etheric pressure, and the conclusion is drawn that an object at rest in a uniform gravitational field of a certain strength is equivalent to moving in a straight line in a uniform etheric space with a certain speed (not a certain acceleration). According to this gravitational mechanism, gravitational field is a scalar (energy) field, and gravity is caused by the asymmetric density distribution of space energy, resulting in the asymmetric etheric pressure on the object at rest in space. The experimental fact of equivalence between gravity fields and velocity (rather than acceleration) in terms of time dilation has proven the equivalence between uniform gravity fields and inertial systems with uniform motion. It further deduces that gravity fields are equivalent to velocity in terms of the increase in the inertial mass effect of objects, and gravity fields are equivalent to velocity in terms of the contraction effect of the electron orbit radius of atoms. The Ether (energy) field with a gradient of field strength generated by a fluid whose flow velocity decreases perpendicular to its motion is equivalent to the gravitational field with a gradient of field strength. Using these modified and extended equivalence principles, the author explains Newton's bucket experiment, the Casimir effect, and explains what reference system the flow rate of fluid in Bernoulli equation is relative to, and why the higher the flow rate is relative to the reference system, the lower the pressure.

Review text

Dear Author(s),

Thank you for devoting time to writing this paper. I'd like to suggest certain major improvements that, if done, will improve the overall quality of this paper:

1. The article's title must be updated to reflect the purpose for which the present paper was prepared.

2. The research abstract should be succinct and unobtrusive, summarizing the most important results obtained by the present investigation in the results part of the study summary without going into unnecessary detail.

3. The study's introduction should be improved by dividing it into three paragraphs, with the first paragraph emphasizing the importance of the current research, the second paragraph explaining the knowledge gap that the current study seeks to fill, and the final paragraph explaining what the current research problem is and how it will be addressed within the framework of the current study's goal.

4. Because the inclusion of side headings in the discussion section is confusing to the reader, the side headings must be eliminated.

5. The final paragraph of the discussion section should describe the current study's strengths and flaws, as well as emphasize the current study's future directions.

6. The study's conclusion is written in the form of points with a numerical sequence, which is not recommended at all when writing a study conclusion, as the conclusion must be written in the form of one very brief paragraph that explains whether the current study achieved its goal of solving the research problem or not.

7. There are few references, and more recent references from 2023 and at least five years earlier are needed to better serve this paper and increase its cognitive value.

Good luck,
