The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
Perhaps even in high school I was attempting to formulate some theory for gravity and the other forces of nature. Mr. Hinton, my high school physics teacher, told me years later when I was in graduate school that the thing he remembered most about me was all my strange ideas. Unfortunately, I have no idea what he was referring to. However, when I was at the University of California, I distinctly remember discussion an idea I had on gravity with a friend who was an astrophysicist. He dismissed my ideas out of hand and I never thought about it again for another 40 years. I have no idea what that idea was either.
Elastic string theory is a little different than most theories because it involves hundreds of observations and experiments. This means there are hundreds of bridges to cross that deal with gravity, electricity, magnetism, and the nuclear forces, and all the ducks have to be in order for this theory to be correct. This theory is backed by more than 100 conundrums solved by elastic string theory. If you know of an observation that you think is in conflict with elastic string theory, please let me know about it. Till then, be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com

Electrons deflected by magnetic field
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
My wife purchased the Robo-Pong as a gift for me. She knew that I had a strong love of the game that began in my childhood. When I was a child our small dining room table also served as a Ping-Pong table. It was too short but it didn’t matter. It was there I learned how top spin could be used to keep the ball from flying off the end of the table, and under spin would often cause my opponent to hit the ball into the net. It was these observations that gave me the idea to test the curvature of a ball in a magnetic field. I was almost dumbfounded, however, when I found that a spinning table tennis ball curves more in a magnetic field. The field must have physical properties. It must have mass.
Spinning Ping-Pong balls in flight are not the only particles that are deflected in a magnetic field. Physicists have shown that a stream of electrons traveling between the north pole and south pole of a magnet are deflected. When the electrons strike the elastic string barrier created by magnetic field, it causes the spinning electrons to move more or less at right angles to their movement through the wire. They literally push the wire up as they bang against the atoms in their path, and this movement is used in an electric motor to cause a rod to spin. Viola, you have converted electric energy to mechanical energy. Notice, the magnet only provides a barrier to the onrushing electrons; it serves no other purpose to the motor.

Experiment showing magnetic fields have mass
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
I like to tell people that I was spawned in the Virgin River that runs through Rockville because that is where I spent much of my youth during the hot summers. The river ran fairly cold since it came from the mountains around us, which made the sand along its bank mighty enticing. We would chase each other in a game of tag in the river, and then when the cold water chilled our bones, we ran to the bank and covered ourselves with warm sand. It was a luxury that rivals any cell phone or any other modern gadget.
Back then I had no thoughts of magnetism, and no reason to conjure up what bonds might form between the south pole and north pole of a magnet. Do the bonds have physical properties? Now, more than 65 years later, I was faced with the exciting prospect of demonstrating that a magnetic field increases the curvature of a spinning table tennis ball in flight.
A Robo-Pong was used to eject the balls between the north pole and south pole of the three electromagnets we built as explained in the previous blog. A Robo-Pong can be adjusted to either give clockwise or counterclockwise spin to the balls. The experiment was set up in our sun room where there is adequate space to do the experiment. My wife, who is a faculty member at UNR, helped record where the balls struck the target. By the way, I was able to show there is no attraction between the plastic balls and a magnet by attaching a thread to a ball and then suspending it next to the poles of the electromagnet with the electricity turned on. There is no hint of any attraction between the plastic ball and either the north or south pole of the magnets.
One trial consisted of approximately 75 balls that were shot through the three electromagnets with the electricity on and a magnetic field in place, then another 75were shot with the electricity turned off and no magnetic field in place. The data was placed in the computer and averages were calculated.
Altogether 13 trails were made, involving more than a thousand balls. In some cases trials were done with balls curving left and in other cases trials were done with balls curving right. The iron cores showed very little tendency to get warm when the electricity was on, but for good measure, I sometimes shot the controls first and in other trials I shot the experimental first (electricity on).
Now for the results: No matter how I designed the experiment, the balls curved more when the magnetic field was turned on. They curved more left when given counterclockwise spin and more right when given clockwise spin. There was never any overlap between the controls and experimental values. Conclusion: Spinning table tennis balls curve more when shot between the north pole and south pole of a magnet because they encounter a magnetic field that has mass. When the balls spin against the elastic strings (magnons), it causes them to curve more. Wow! This is truly amazing. I believe the magnetic field is composed of elastic strings that have mass. This is wonderful confirmation for my experiments that show spinning table tennis balls in flight curve in a complete vacuum. You can read this experiment in its entirety at my web site, just click on chapter 31. Till then, be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com

Test spinning balls in flight in magnetic field
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
Growing up on our old farm and watching Dad and Mom tackle all sorts of problems left an indelible impression on my mind. Whatever was accomplished around our place was done by our own hands. I was trained to work and tackle almost anything, including electricity.
An electromagnet is created when electricity flows around an iron core. Building one is relatively easy, especially with the help of my friend Ben McCulley. He welded up an 18 inch long, C shaped iron core, which we wrapped lengthwise with two wires simultaneously. Each electrical wire was 500 feet long and 14 gauge. We made two other electromagnets using a 8 inch diameter steel pipe that I had cut lengthwise into two pieces; this proved to be a lot easier.
Strung end to end, the three electromagnets were 54 inches long. Thus, one side became a south pole that was 54 inches long, and the other side became a north pole that was 54 inches long. When an electric current was applied, there was a strong magnetic field that developed between the two poles. Each magnet received 20 amps DC current. I always checked the magnets with a nail to make sure there was plenty of magnetism. I also proved there was no residual magnetism when the electricity was turned off.
My next objective was to shoot spinning table tennis balls between the two poles with the aid of a Robo-Pong. Would the balls curve more when the magnetic field was turned on? That was the crucial question. Till then, be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com

Magnetism, a force of nature
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
My dad was a civil engineer by trade, but he wanted to be a farmer like his dad before him. For this reason he homesteaded some land in Rockville that extended up and onto the mountain in back of us. We had a spectacular view of Zion National Park but some of the worst farmland on record. The stuff we grew best was pet rocks and lizards. Dad didn’t seem to mind. On weekends he was either hoeing the garden, building or tearing down a barn, or building a new fence line. He was always dressed in khaki clothes and wearing a tie, no matter how dirty the job. Since I was the only son left home, I became his helpmate. Any nails removed from old boards were always reused because when I was a kid, they were far too precious to throw away, at least for us. I was chief nail “straightner”. We had an old magnet I would drag through the dirt where we were working to clamp onto the hidden nails beneath our feet. I learned to appreciate magnets even though I knew absolutely nothing about how they worked.
The magnetic force of attraction between magnet and nail comprises one of the great mysteries that people have pondered over for more than 2000 years. Magnetism is, like gravity, one of the forces of nature. Hold two small children’s magnets in your hands and bring them close to each other. Isn’t it amazing how they push your hands apart or pull them together depending on which ends are pointed at each other. You can stare all you want at the space between the magnets, but you will not be able to see any connecting links that might be pulling the two magnets together. It’s a great mystery. In this respect, the magnetic force and gravitational force are very much alike. They are dependent upon some hidden something or other that we cannot see.
The questions I posed were these. Would a spinning ball in flight curve more when shot through a magnetic field? Would they react to the hidden strings? This was something I had to try. Till then, be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com

Spinning balls in flight curve in a vacuum
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
My friend Ben is restricted in his movement, but give him a motorized chair and he is definitely a body in motion. His rapid darting to and fro warrants careful attention. I soon got used to it, and more often than not Ben caused me to smile and chuckle as we built a 10 foot long vacuum chamber to house a Robo-Pong. The idea was to eject spinning balls at a target inside the vacuum chamber and observe the extent they curve as you remove the air.
Air molecules are very difficult to remove from any enclosure even under the best of conditions. But the chamber we built held a high state of vacuum over a long period of time. Once we got the bugs out, it did not leak after we evacuated the air with a two stage vacuum pump. We equipped the chamber with a very sensitive vacuum gauge to measure how much air was left in the chamber, and a peep hole to film the balls in flight.
A Robo-Pong can be used to eject a table tennis ball at a target, and in doing so, it also causes the ball to spin clockwise or counterclockwise depending how the instrument is set. For several months, we filmed the balls in flight with left hand spin and right hand spin and with varied air concentrations. I then examined the curvature of the balls on a computer.
Now the results: From this study, I concluded that spinning table tennis balls continue to curve even in a pure vacuum. Approximately 7% of the curvature remains when all the air is removed from the chamber.
And now the conclusion: It seems there is a substance in space besides air that the balls spin against, which causes them to curve. This substance has to have physical properties with mass. As weird and unbelievable as this must seem, I suspect this substance is a vast concentration of gravitons, the strings with perfect elasticity that cause the gravitational force between bodies. The number of strings must be immense, but because of their very limited, minute mass and super elasticity, we cannot feel them in space.
My experiments can be read on line at http://www.vestheory.com/. Once you enter the book, just click on Chapter 30.
If the results of this experiment were true, it suggested that spinning balls will curve more in a magnetic field; this was an exciting prospect I had to explore. Till then, be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com

Breaking news: Neutrinos travel faster than light
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
Researchers at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research outside Geneva, announced their discovery today that neutrinos travel faster than the speed of light. These small subatomic particles have mass. Their 454 mile trip from Geneva to Italy was 60 nanoseconds faster than light.
The following is a quote from the associated press: “GENEVA (AP) — A startling find at one of the world's foremost laboratories that a subatomic particle seemed to move faster than the speed of light has scientists around the world rethinking Albert Einstein and one of the foundations of physics.”
If a particle with mass travels faster than the speed of light, it disproves Einstein’s special theory of relativity. It means that photons in flight likely have mass just as suggested by a large number of experiments.
Entanglement experiments that have been conducted for several decades also prove that communication between two photons separated at great distance is almost instantaneous, much faster than neutrinos.
It is super cool to have an important aspect of my theory supported by experimentation. These concepts are discussed at length in my book. Kelland—www.vestheory.com

Death Valley Experiment
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
My wife and I drove to Death Valley on our way to Southern Utah. I thought it was a great trip, especially in Death Valley because she consented to do the driving while I examined the colorful, bare hillsides. Perhaps you have to grow up in the desert to appreciate the layering and flow of colored rock originally deposited along our ocean shores millions of years ago, then thrust up by shifting plates.
Our big dog, Rocko, sat in the back of our SUV and enjoyed the drive because there had been a storm the day before, and the weather was actually cool even in Death Valley. In fact it was about the same temperature wherever I tested ball curvature.
I had with us a robot called Robo-Pong that ejects table tennis balls so that people can practice playing Ping-Pong. This little machine imparts either clockwise or counterclockwise spin when it ejects the ball into space depending how you set it. This means you can cause the ball to curve either left or right. I had already used it to measure the curvature of table tennis balls in Carson City, which is approximately 4750 feet above sea level.
Eventually, I also measured how much the balls curved inside our motel room in Death Valley (20 feet above sea level), in Rockville (3700 feet above sea level), and in a friend’s cabin in the mountains of Southern Utah at 8400 feet above sea level.
Now for the results of this little study: I found that balls curve more than expected at higher altitudes. Air concentration dropped faster than curvature. It appeared the ball would curve even in a vacuum. Conclusions: The results suggest that in addition to air molecules, some other component of the space around us aids in the deflection of spinning Ping-Pong balls. Was this something gravitons, the invisible strings that pull two objects together? The results of this study encouraged me to continue on. What I needed was a better way of testing this hypothesis. What I needed was a large vacuum chamber to determine whether a spinning table tennis ball will curve in a vacuum. The results took several months of hard work and the aid of my friend, Ben McCulley. Till then, be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com

Testing gravitons for mass
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
I love science. It always searches for the truth, and it continually unfolds before us, often in most unexpected ways. The path of science is a self correcting search for answers that are continually refined through the efforts of countless individuals. I was hell bent on explaining gravity. I needed a test. I ask this question. If air causes a spinning tennis ball to curve in flight, what happens if we reduce the concentration of air? Let’s back up a moment. Give a tennis ball top spin as it travels across the net and it will curve downward. Give this same ball side spin and it will curve right or left depending whether the ball is spinning clockwise or counterclockwise. What causes a ball to curve? Is it entirely due to the ball moving against the air molecules in its path or is some of this curvature due to a super concentration of elastic strings even though we cannot see or feel them? This is the question I hoped to solve.
My first experiment to test this question took me to Death Valley and the mountains of Southern Utah to measure the curvature of balls at different elevations: The higher the elevation the lower the concentration of air. Just how close is the correlation between air concentration and ball curvature? I did test it and I found some interesting results.

Force of gravity
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
Rocko spotted the chipmunk before I did, and he was dead set on capturing the little critter. What he didn’t count on was a wash and a 12 foot drop. The next thing I knew he was flying through the air with his legs thrashing beneath him. My 100 pound mutt hit the bottom of the wash with a sudden jar that left him with a noticeable limp. He is very wary now when it comes to ledges of any kind. Rocko is a beautiful mix of chow and newfoundland, but he was no match for the force of gravity that jerked him through the air with a strong, but invisible hand. What is gravity? What is this mysterious force of nature? I have been attempting to answer this question. I have worked hard on some experiments that I would like you to consider.

The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
When I was a kid on the old farm where I grew up, just outside Zion National Park, Dad brought home 100 chicks. It fell on me to raise them. We had an old chicken coup that kept them safe at night. The coop was built into a hillside and still exists today. There was easy access to the roof, and one day, for reasons unknown, I jumped from the roof. I can still relive the stinging sensation I felt in my feet that day when I hit the ground—gravity is a very strong force of nature. I had done the same dumb thing that my dog Rocko recently did when he jumped off a bank to the bottom of a wash.
The connecting links between any two bodies are referred to as gravitons. When I jumped, gravitons emanating from my body were connected to Earth and Earth’s gravitons were connected to me, and the resulting force of gravitation jerked me to the ground and likely left me a little more flat footed.
The magnitude of the force of gravitation can best be appreciated when it takes place between two large bodies. The force of gravity between earth and sun is equivalent to the strength of a steel cable twice the size of the United States even though earth and sun are separated by 93 million miles. Wow. What are gravitons? What are these invisible links that connect these two bodies across such a vast distance? Do the links between earth and sun have physical properties even though we can’t feel them in space? I pondered over this question and came up with a possible method of testing this hypothesis. The results will surely surprise you. Till then, be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com

The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
When I was a kid on the old farm where I grew up, just outside Zion National Park, Dad brought home 100 chicks. It fell on me to raise them. We had an old chicken coup that kept them safe at night. The coop was built into a hillside and still exists today. There was easy access to the roof, and one day, for reasons unknown, I jumped from the roof. I can still relive the stinging sensation I felt in my feet that day when I hit the ground—gravity is a very strong force of nature. I had done the same dumb thing that my dog Rocko recently did when he jumped off a bank to the bottom of a wash.
The connecting links between any two bodies are referred to as gravitons. When I jumped, gravitons emanating from my body were connected to Earth and Earth’s gravitons were connected to me, and the resulting force of gravitation jerked me to the ground and likely left me a little more flat footed.
The magnitude of the force of gravitation can best be appreciated when it takes place between two large bodies. The force of gravity between earth and sun is equivalent to the strength of a steel cable twice the size of the United States even though earth and sun are separated by 93 million miles. Wow. What are gravitons? What are these invisible links that connect these two bodies across such a vast distance? Do the links between earth and sun have physical properties even though we can’t feel them in space? I pondered over this question and came up with a possible method of testing this hypothesis. The results will surely surprise you. Till then, be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com

Elasticity
Atoms have perfect elasticity
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
Mother saved the day for our family when Dad decided to give up engineering and try to make a living off our old farm. We would have starved to death except we always had a large garden and Mother bottled hundreds of quarts of green beans, wax beans, whole tomatoes, tomato juice, peaches, apricots, apples, and other vegetables and fruit. Even the fields around us contributed asparagus and wild currants in the fence lines. The wild currants made excellent jam. It was my job, along with my two younger sisters, to wash the quart jars, peel the apples, etc. It was a family work project.
The canning jars had a tight rubber seal that kept air from entering the bottles, which brings me to the main point. Scientists have shown that air molecules inside a sealed empty bottle never come to rest. This is quite amazing if you think about it. When two air molecules have a head on collision, they move away from each other with the same speed they had before the collision. Physicists refer to this as perfect elasticity. For this reason, air molecules never fall to the bottom of the chamber and come to rest even though they are under the influence of gravity. Since all molecules are made of the same building blocks we know all molecules have perfect elasticity. The evidence for the elasticity of matter is all around us. Doesn’t this suggest to you that the forces of nature might be due to elastic strings? Till then, be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com
Atoms have perfect cohesion
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
When I was young and foolish, some of my friends in grade school would come to our old ranch in the middle of a rain storm, usually in the month of August, and race about on the hillsides in back of our little house. In particular I remember one such friend who later became the beloved head track coach for a major university. At the time, he unknowingly was in training for the high hurdles he later ran in high school.
Of course we didn’t want to get our clothes muddy and wet so we went naked. The hills were steep and we could jump a country mile and land in soft earth that gave beneath our feet. It was an exhilarating experience made more beautiful by blessed rain that made the earth and desert plants fill the air with the most wonderful aromas.
It is astounding to me that the earth beneath our feet, and all the surrounding matter to the most distant star, none of it can not be destroyed, not even the smallest molecule. Atoms and the subatomic particles that make up atoms have perfect cohesion, just as they have perfect elasticity. The temperature of our Sun reaches 20,000 degrees Celsius while 5,000 degrees Celsius is sufficient to vaporize all known materials. This means the mass of the atom must be subjected to a violent state of motion, yet the mass does not disperse randomly into the ether about it, rather it remains intact, impervious to the rapid oscillation and rapid motion of the atoms around it. Mass may redistribute itself into different subatomic particles, but it cannot be destroyed. It has perfect cohesion, a condition of perfect elasticity.
This explains why elastic strings can extend vast distances and still remain intact, and coupled with perfect elasticity, it explains why elastic strings retract back to their source with great velocity.
Gluons are elastic strings
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
My aunt owned and ran the only grocery store in our little town. We often played touch football on her lawn where all too frequently we banged into the side of the store wall that was covered with ivy. We didn’t seem to mind even though the wall was made of concrete.
I remember vividly when my aunt announced to us just outside her store one day that World War II had ended. All the kids had their hands in the air, waving and yelling that we had won the war. Scientists had found a way to overcome the strong nuclear force, which allowed them to build nuclear bombs. These bombs abruptly ended the war with Japan.
Quarks are small structures that make up approximately 2% of the mass of an atom. They are responsible for the strong nuclear forces that hold subatomic particles together. If it were not for this force, atoms would fly apart just as they did with the explosion of the nuclear bomb. Physicists have shown that quarks are found in groups of three held together by gluons. Gluons are responsible for the force of attraction that holds quarks together. They are responsible for the strong nuclear force, and they behave as though they are elastic strings. Nuclear physicists have shown that when quarks are forced apart, gluons pull them back together. And just like rubber bands, the farther gluons are stretched the greater the force pulling the quarks back together. Could we ask for better proof of elastic strings?

Electons are elastic strings
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
When I was growing up in Rockville, the boys played a game called “rubbers”. We would cut a half inch wide strip of rubber from a car inner tube made of natural rubber that was about 18 inches long. The rubber bands were shot with considerable velocity by placing one end around the index finger, then holding the tip in place with the thumb. We would stretch the rubber band with the other hand and then send the missile flying towards someone on the opposite team. Head shots were not permissible. When you were hit you were out of the game. The old barnyards became our playgrounds with fresh cow pies being acceptable hazards. I still remember sucking in my midsection to avoid being hit as a rubber band came whizzing toward me. We played the game by the hour.
I never thought much about what caused a rubber to stretch nor what caused the rubber band to retract with such great force until I began exploring the forces of nature. Now I see that it provides elegant proof that the bonds connecting atoms have elastic properties. In this case, we are dealing with the electric force of nature. I call the strings electons.
Here is what one physicist had to say on the subject: In 2011 on the Internet, Professor Marvin Johnson, a physicist at California State University, sums up his views as follows: “The bonds between atoms in a solid or liquid act like springs, when you compress or stretch them they store potential energy.” It sounds as if Johnson is describing atoms with perfect elasticity that are connected with strings that have perfect elasticity. When compressed, the atoms bound away from each other with perfect elasticity, and when stretched apart, they retract with greater force because they are connected with strings that have perfect elasticity.

Gravitons are elastic strings
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
If you are lucky enough to view the night sky in a small town where humans are not flooding it with light, you are treated with a sea of brilliant stars that light the heavens, and the Milky Way Galaxy unfolds before you like a master piece far more pleasing than Van Gogh’s starry night. And lo, unknown to most viewers, the stars themselves have an intriguing secrete, a secrete that has puzzled scientists for many decades.
Astrophysicists have shown that the stars in our galaxy rotate around its center with great velocity, approximately 225,000 meters per second. The weird thing is the force of gravity in our galaxy is supposedly not strong enough to hold the stars in orbit. They should fly off into space, but they don’t. They also know that the force of gravity has to increase the farther the star is from the galactic center. At great distance, the actual force of gravity has to be 10 times stronger than the normal force of gravity to hold the star in orbit. Although scientists have attempted to explain this phenomenon by proposing additional undetected matter in our galaxy, all the studies have come up negative. The evidence shows there is no so called “dark matter.” The conclusion is: gravity behaves as though it is due to elastic strings, in the same manner as gluons (string responsible for the strong nuclear force), and electons (strings responsible for the electrical force). Once more we find great evidence for elastic strings. Kelland—www.vestheory.com

Forces of nature
The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.
The turkeys we raised on our old farm could be ferocious birds. I learned this first hand one summer day when I came upon a female turkey sitting on a nest of eggs. We did not have that many turkeys, and when one went missing, I began to search the surrounding fields. I thought I heard the clucking of this turkey above me hidden in a patch of tall grass. Not being aware of what might happen, I climbed up the ditch bank to investigate, but before I could reach her nest, the mother-to-be-turkey flew at me with a vengeance. I fell over backwards and rolled down the bank with the angry turkey on top of me. I hit the ground running and never went back. She had gained my respect. It wasn’t long until she came home with her brood of cute little baby turkeys.
All the movements of this turkey and my hasty retreat can be traced back to the forces of nature: electricity, magnetism, gravitation, and the nuclear forces. ATP in our bodies stores electrical energy in its phosphate bonds, and it passes this energy to our muscles, which allows us to run. Without electricity and the other forces of nature our world would be filled with random mass, or perhaps more likely just one small elastic ball, which means there would be no atoms, molecules, mountains, or the living objects of our world. Till then, be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com
