The Gravitics Situation

Appendix 5

Gravity/Heat Interaction

Let us suppose that we have to investigate the question whether gravitative action alone upon some given substance or alloy can produce heat. We do not specify its texture, density nor atomic structure, we assume simply the flux of gravitative action followed by an increase of heat in the alloy.

If we assume a small circular surface on the alloy, then the gravitative flux on it may be expressed by Guass' Theorm and it is $4\pi M$ , where M represents mass of all sub surface particles, the question is, can this expression be transformed into heat. We will assume it can be. Now recalling the relativity law connecting mass and energy :-

$M=m_{0}+\frac{T}{c^{2}}$ (by Einstein)

where :-

	T = kinetic energy
	m₀ = initial mass
	c = velocity of light

we set $4\pi M=m_{0}+\frac{T}{c^{2}}=m_{0}+\frac{m_{0}v^{2}}{2c^{2}}$ .

But v²/c² is a proper fraction: hence M=m₀+m₀/2k. In the boundary case v=c, M=m₀(1+1/k), for all other cases $4\pi M=m_{0}(\frac{k+1}{k})k\neq 0$ . Strictly M should be preceeded by a conversion factor 1/k but if inserted, it does not alter results. Thus if gravity could produce heat, the effect is limited to a narrow range, as this result shows.

It merits stress that in a gravitational field the flow lines, lines of descent, are geodesics.
