- As is pointed out in a later post, Tom assumes the "passive"
- gravitational mass is equal to the inertial mass which is greater than
- the "active" gravitational mass. In this case, Tom is right. My
- quick-and-dirty simulator assumed the active and passive gravitational
- masses were equal and less than the inertial; in this case the forces
- on the two stars are not equal and opposite so of course the orbits go
- awry.
-
- However I don't understand *why* this is so. First, I assume that in
- the Meta Model, object B feels the gravitational force of object A when
- it "catches" some of the C-gravitons of object A. Tom claimed that the
- reason a black hole won't form is because the C-gravitons "have
- trouble" "getting out" of the interior of a massive object and thus
- it's active gravitational mass is less than it's "amount of matter" (==
- inertial mass). But if gravitons are having trouble "getting out" of
- object A (so that object B sees a lesser force coming from A), this
- means that the force of gravity in the *interior* of object A must be
- STRONGER, since it is "catching" it's own gravitons rather than letting
- them go -- ie the particles inside of A are more strongly attracted to
- each other because they are catching more of each other's C-gravitons
- than the standard model would predict. I other words, I'm assuming a
- "conservation of C-gravitons", and since the force is less "outside" of
- object A, then this must be counter-balanced by the force "inside"
- being greater. This would seem to imply to me that a super-dense
- object is even more UNstable in the meta model than in the standard
- model -- the more dense it is, the less it's "external" active
- gravitational force and the STRONGER it's "internal" gravitational
- force becomes, so any object which is predicted to collapse to a black
- hole in the standard model should collapse even *faster* in the Meta
- Model.
