You executed communist censorship against my paper 'Relative Scale Spacetime'.

Here are the facts.

Fact #1: Your anonymous moderators "provide no comments with their decisions". Ten years ago, in July 2005, when Matt Visser and Don Marolf were moderators at arXiv.org, they deleted my paper 'Are Gravitational Waves Directly Observable?' (physics/0507133, Sun, 17 Jul 2005 18:59:24 GMT, 196kb) without any explanation either.

This is communist censorship.

Fact #2: You kept my paper, entitled Relative Scale Spacetime, "on hold" for five months, since November 13, 2014. On Thu, 13 Nov 2014 10:10:17 -0500, I was informed by arXiv Help that my paper "is currently on hold pending a decision on classification. The "hold" status merely indicates that one or more of the moderators need additional time to consider your article."

Fact #3: Today you "determined it inappropriate for arXiv", but cannot show any argument whatsoever against the new interpretation of the origin of gravity, suggested in 'Relative Scale Spacetime'.

Fact #4: You are not aware of the basic facts of the current, and essentially incomplete, formulation of General Relativity [Ref. 1]. All mathematical facts were known by 1922: http://www.god-does-not-play-dice.net/horizon.pdf

Fact #5: You don't even dare to show your names.

Shame on you, "moderators". You are total disgrace for Cornell University.

Not for a moment, of course, did I doubt that this formulation was merely a makeshift in order to give the general principle of relativity a preliminary closed expression. For it was essentially not anything more than a theory of the gravitational field, which was somewhat artificially isolated from a total field of as yet unknown structure."

My solution to the so-called "dark" manifestations of gravity is alternative to all your efforts to understand the issue, ever since 1930s.

Werner Heisenberg and Erwin Schrödinger have indicated the only possible path toward the solution; all you need is to show some interest in it.

Malcolm dorogoi,

You are definitely Russian. See what you wrote (p. 34): "In the near future, the ground- based laser interferometric detectors, with their recently improved sensitivity, will give interesting results whether they make a detection or not. (Since the predicted emission of expected sources should be detectable, not seeing anything would cause a reevaluation of our theoretical understanding.)"

The reevaluation of your theoretical understanding should have begun in 1922: http://www.god-does-not-play-dice.net/horizon.pdf

You also wrote (ibid.): "There is still hope that the space-based interferometric detector LISA will fly within some of the readers' lifetimes." When pigs fly.

A KISS Note

S. Krasnikov reminded us (comments.pdf, p. 3) that “the Universe according to relativity is a "motionless", "unchanging" 4-dimensional object, and gravity is just its shape. But what can be called the speed of a shape?” To answer this question, keep in mind that gravitational waves (GWs) “travel” within themselves and with respect to themselves. We don‟t know the actual “speed of a shape”. We assume that it matches the “speed” of light, and none of them can single out some preferred frame. So far so good, but here comes the so-called GW “astronomy”, using the linearized approximation of GR (horizon.pdf, p. 9) and postulating some thaumaturgic “reference to the "background" or undisturbed geometry, which is there before the wave arrives and after it passes” (B. Schutz, p. 317). To detect the work exerted on the “GW detectors”, made with the “speed of a shape” and by the “shape” itself, let me suggest a simple (KISS) Gedankenexperiment on the timing of GW detection along one of LIGO‟s arms AB, with proper distance AB = 4 km: the duration tAB of the passing “shape” of spacetime from point A to point B is finite, and since you know the distance, you will be able to calculate the “speed of a shape” in Minkowski spacetime (“a shadow without power”, Hermann Weyl). Go ahead, it‟s just a KISS Gedankenexperimet.

Notice that we have instantaneous “shapes” in every snapshot „here-and-how‟ from the movie reel in Fig. 3, with physically unobservable Lorentzian aether placed in the “dark strips” ]between[ the instants „here-and-now‟: the transience of time is not physical phenomenon. Namely, the “dark strips” of physically unobservable Lorentzian aether correspond to squared hyperimaginary unit w2 = 0, which is why the resulting physical continuum of events „here-and-now‟ (local mode of spacetime) is perfect. Nothing in GR can be used to detect the fundamental flow of 4-D events (Heraclitus) with respect to the unobservable Lorentzian aether: “no “mechanism” exists in GR, which is capable of producing GW‟s. In other terms, if we displace a mass, its gravitational field and the related curvature of the interested manifold displace themselves along with the mass” (A. Loinger).

LIGO is for the birds.

You are totally wrong: see above.

Explanatory Note

If the reader has basic knowledge in gravitational physics, there‟s nothing much to explain. First, some history. Daniel Kennefick reminded us (p. 1) that in 1981 Kip Thorne had no difficulty in "finding a taker for a wager that gravitational waves would be detected by the end of the last century. The wager was made with the astronomer Jeremiah Ostriker, one of the better-known critics of the large detectors then being proposed. Thorne was one of the chief movers behind the largest of the new detector projects, the half-billion-dollar Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory, or LIGO. He lost the bet, of course." Ten years ago, on Monday, 18 July 2005, the talibans at arXiv.org deleted my paper 'Are Gravitational Waves Directly Observable?' (physics/0507133, Sun, 17 Jul 2005 18:59:24 GMT, 196kb) without any explanation (see above). Nine years ago (Wed, 01 Mar 2006 04:59:31 +0200), I suggested to Jorge Pullin to convert the dark, air-conditioned tunnels of LIGO to wine cellars (it is important to keep the temperature at 13ºC - 15ºC). Surely the linearized approximation of GR can be used to adjust the GPS system, but not to detect the gravitational radiation online, as it “happens” in real time read by a clock. Why? Because the phenomenon is fundamentally nonlinear (Hermann Bondi). It is a fact of Nature (J.G. Pereira; N. Dadhich; M. Montesinos). Let me try to offer a very simple explanation, such that every taliban can understand it.

Here is the idea of GW “astronomy”, straight from LIGO:

Details from Kip Thorne, Overview of Gravitational Wave Science, Caltech's Physics 237- 2002, Ph237Week1Slides.pdf. Notice his slide 5, in which we learn that “each polarization has its own gravitational-wave field”, which must be safely separated by LIGO “scientific” collaboration, or else the two gravitational-wave fields (B. Schutz, p. 312, Fig. 22.1) will conflate and intermingle. But since these details may be complicated to the talibans at arXiv.org, let me offer a simple drawing based on the „before-after‟ explanation by Bernie Schutz above. I will use a plastic bottle which is being “squeezed” by passing GWs, and invoke some magical “reference to the "background" or undisturbed geometry, which is there before the wave arrives and after it passes” (B. Schutz, p. 317; emphasis mine).

t1: No gravity waves t2: Gravity waves present t3: No gravity waves

Note: Following V. Faraoni (p. 4), “we consider a gravitational wave with a single polarization traveling along the z-axis perpendicular to the interferometer‟s arms, perfectly reflecting mirrors, and a single reflection of each laser beam.”

Contrary to Hermann Weyl (see above), LIGO “scientific” collaboration claims that GWs can travel in Minkowski spacetime, which will act as a “background” – just as if they use a thermometer to detect the fluctuations of the temperature, relative to the base states at t1 and t3. Only their GW “astronomy” cannot in principle handle “a GW of arbitrary amplitude” (M. Maggiore, p. 32), so they “derived” the ultra-weak limit from strong GWs with pure magic, enhanced with wishful thinking and total ignorance of gravitational physics.

NB: The linearized approximation of GR kills the very effect they wish to measure, from the outset. It would be as if they wish to measure the quantum "waviness" of a trajectory of a Frisbee, but since the effect will be terribly small, they decide to apply classical physics. Replace „classical physics‟ with „linearized approximation of GR‟ and you will understand the mythical “stress-energy tensor for gravitational waves” in MTW, p. 970, Eq. 35.71; see also A. Buonanno, p. 17, Eq. 4.1 and M. Maggiore, p. 34, Eq. 1.130.

For the record: Twelve years ago, on Thursday, 20 February 2003, I asked Hans-Jürgen Schmidt a very simple question (Thu, 20 Feb 2003 12:05:02 +0200):

“Isn't it true that the necessary condition for detecting gravitational waves is that the distribution of energy-momentum of a physical system in the gravitational field must be uniquely defined on a continual trajectory, not just in one instant of measurement?”

Of course, Hans-Jürgen Schmidt never replied. Point is, if the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detect gravitational waves (C. Van Den Broeck, p. 6), they will prove that the gravitational energy can indeed be “uniquely defined on a continual trajectory, not just in one instant of measurement” (MTW, p. 467), and pigs will fly. Ever since Kip Thorne failed to detect the transport of energy by GWs “by the end of the last century” (see D. Kennefick above), LIGO “scientific” collaboration does one and the same thing: asks for more money – taxpayers‟ money – to pay for ever-increasing “sensitivity” of their GW “detectors”, up to the horribly expensive Advanced LIGO. B. Schutz openly stated (p. 4; emphasis mine) that “by 2020 at least 3-4 billion dollars will have been invested by a dozen national and international scientific organizations in building gravitational wave detectors on the ground and in space”. Yet they still have no theory. Only a long chain of total failures, starting from Kip Thorne.

Here Robert Wald (p. 120; emphasis mine) comes to rescue his bewildered colleagues:

So let‟s assume that the plastic bottle above is being altered by passing GW with dimensionless amplitude “2.3x10-26” (arXiv:0909.3583v4): how will the “shape” of spacetime (see S. Krasnikov above) produce work to induce stresses in the plastic bottle? At what length scale would LIGO “scientific” collaboration postulate the “coupling”?

Anyway. The correct theory of gravitational radiation was developed by Sir Hermann Bondi in 1961, and published one year later; see his Paper VII. It was intentionally neglected by all people obsessed with “gravitational-wave astronomy”. They decided to cheat and suggested some kind of “mixed procedure” (Jose Pereira; see also MTW, p. 968). They aren‟t stupid and can read English: see Ruben Aldrovandi et al., arXiv:0809.2911, p. 13. They simply love money.

As Johann Makowsky put it (The Jerusalem Post, 19 April 1985), “Overfunded research is like heroin: It makes one addicted, weakens the mind and furthers prostitution.”
