Description
This paper presents a kinematic framework for celestial mechanics that determines the dynamics, masses, gravity and angular momentum of celestial bodies without invoking Newton's gravitational constant G. Three core physical postulates are advanced. First, space is not empty but is filled by a hydrodynamic plenum, a viscous and compressible quantum foam of density ρ₀ that mediates all gravitational and inertial phenomena. Second, mass is bipartite: every body possesses an inert nucleonic mass Mqm (responsible for resistance to motion) and an interactive cohesive mass Meff (responsible for coupling to the plenum); the two are logically distinct quantities whose interaction is what is conventionally measured as gravity and inertia. Third, the dynamical observable that characterises every vortex in the plenum is the Plenum Influence Parameter Φ = v²r, a kinematic quantity directly extractable from orbital data without recourse to gravitational mass. Within this framework, gravity is the adhesive inward pressure gradient of the surrounding plenum and inertia is the cohesive resistance of the body's bipartite mass to acceleration through the same medium.
Abstract (English)
The paper achieves the following:
1. Integrates gravity and electromagnetism within a single fluid-dynamical framework, replacing the separate gravitational constant G with the kinematic parameter Φ extracted directly from orbital observations. 2. Scales seamlessly from the atomic Bohr orbit through planetary, stellar, and galactic levels, in a fractal architecture spanning thirty orders of magnitude. 3. Establishes the Quadratic PIP Resonance Law, Φ_galactic / Φ_⊙ ≈ (Φ_⊙ / Φ_⊕)², verified to within eight percent across eleven orders of magnitude and establishing the celestial plenum as a self-similar nested vortex hierarchy. 4. Derives the n² orbital ratio for planetary spacing from plenum standing-wave nodes and shows it to be mathematically identical to the Bohr atomic formula, unifying celestial and quantum mechanics under one wave equation. 5. Explains elliptical orbits as the Magnus-effect deformation of any rotating impeller translating through a non-quiescent ambient plenum, with the eccentricity, the ecliptic plane flattening, and the apsidal precession all derivable from a single Bernoulli perturbation. 6. Identifies the magneto-kinematic coupling between the Sun's sweeping magnetic flux and aligned nucleonic spin as the mechanical origin of planetary axial tilt, rotation, and core induction heating, accounting for Mercury's magnetic locking, Venus's drag-braked retrograde rotation, Earth's twenty-four hour Goldilocks state, and Jupiter's magnetically insulated rapid spin. 7. Models the Solar System as a Stratified Magneto-Hydrodynamic Centrifuge in which the eight planets are sorted by uncompressed density into Inner Sinking Rotors and Outer Buoyant Flywheels, with the Magnetic Lock Radius at the astronomical frost line as the regime boundary. 8. Replaces the Newtonian g = GM/r² with the pure-kinematic g = Φ/r² · (1/Cρ), where the dimensionless Coefficient of Density Cρ accounts for atomic-scale plenum attenuation and yields, ab initio, the observed sub-surface gravity profile of the Earth in agreement with the PREM model. 9. Resolves the Newtonian r=0 singularity as the Eye of the Storm, namely a finite-volume static high-pressure interior where the plenum's dynamic flow vanishes, without invoking infinity. 10. Provides quantitative agreement with the Φ-constancy of the Sun to better than 0.15 percent across the planets, predicts vISS = 7.689 km/s (observed 7.66 km/s), the heliopause asymmetry ratio of 1.29 in agreement with Voyager/IBEX, and produces a falsifiable validation criterion: a vertically oriented Michelson-Morley apparatus must produce a measurable fringe shift of approximately 0.0011 fringes per metre, in confirmed agreement with the 1959 Pound-Rebka tower experiment.
