Velocity of graviton waves

The Forces of Nature by Kelland Terry, Ph.D.

The relative velocity of the electon and magnon waves verses graviton waves is central to understanding relativity. Although it isn’t necessary to know their absolute velocities, a guesstimate eases discussion.

There are two lines of reasoning that convince me that graviton waves travel at enormous velocity. First, my ether model requires that the velocity of graviton waves has to be almost as great as the speed of the graviton as it is generated into space (10^23 m/s). Why this must be true comes from the observation that stars in our local cluster of galaxies influence the photons they emit for their entire journey to Earth. For example, the Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years away (about 2 x 10^22 meters), and the light we receive from this galaxy has higher energy than expected.

If the blue shift is created by gravitons emanating from Andromeda, then graviton waves must travel at least 2 x 10^22 meters before the graviton is retracted. Even if the graviton existed for one full second, the waves would have to travel more than 2 x 10^22 meters per second.

There is another line of reasoning that supports the idea that graviton waves travel at very high velocity. This comes from the equation provided by physicists that explains the velocity of waves along a common string.

In this equation, F is the restoring force that snaps the string back in place. It is also the force conducted along the string. It is expressed in newtons. Two other elements used in the equation are mass per unit length (kg/m) and the velocity of the waves in meters per second. Notice, if the mass of the string is extremely small, especially when expressed as kg/meter, then wave speed must be extremely large. The mass of a graviton might be as little as 10^80 kg, which would mean its mass per meter might be as little as 10^103 kg. This explains why the speed of the wave traveling along the string has great velocity.

This equation holds if the amplitude of the wave is small. This is certainly true for waves contemplated here because they are nothing more than tiny pulses created by snapping portals.

For sake of argument, I will assume that graviton waves travel along the string at 10^23 m/s.

I will come back to the mass of gravitons and the other strings in a future blog.

In my next blog, I will take up the velocity of magnon and electon waves. Till then be safe and in good health. Kelland—www.vestheory.com
