KNOWLEDGE AND POSSIBILITIES OF GRAVITY RESEARCH

Abstract

Einstein's unified-field theory establishes that gravitational fields are connected with electro-magnetic fields. From more general field theories with six or more dimensions, one can expect the existence of an 'intermediate field,' which is neither gravitational nor electrical. Such an intermediate field could be identified as the non-electrical nuclear binding forces. This assumption leads to the concept of a primary-matter ether of free gravitational energy, which is not in contradiction with Michelson-Morley's experiment. Certain properties of this ether, as for example opposite polarity, are in agreement with cosmological concepts with regard to gravitation and expansion of space. This also gives a better understanding of the cause of the mass in motion and of inertia. Consequences of these concepts permit one to assume that electromagnetic fields of still unobtained waves will create possibilities which are technically of great benefit. They may be of importance for aviation and space flight as well as for almost lossless production of energy from mass radiation.
