Future research would deem it useful, whilst the absence of research would deem it useless … Attraction – Secrets of Gravity deals with the main questions that have perplexed humanity throughout the generations, such as: What exists? What is a mass? What is time? What is force? Its answers to the questions of “why do apples fall down?” and “is the horse pulling the cart?” are different from those of Isaac Newton. “The Attraction Force of Gravity” is mistaken in the way it interprets the observations. It is not attraction that is taking place, but rather repulsion. This book offers a fascinating explanation to the unanswered questions remaining from the theory of gravity, the theory of relativity and quantum theory. It does not deal with improving that which exists, but returns to the basic questions of the structure and motion of matter. The author refers to the language, interpretation, understanding and limits of human perception and thought, and tries to provide a simple, coherent explanation to physical phenomena that are currently explained differently. 6 Introduction | 7 Fracticles, which are probably the “existing matter” that Democritus meant when he described the concept of “A-tomos” (the indivisible), or what Leibniz meant when speaking of the “windowless monads.” They might also be the answer to the ontological question, “what exists?” Fracticles are the elementary particles of matter that move and pass, usually with ease, through bodies (which are merely “… local vortexes or an accumulation of disturbances”). What we term ‘mass’ is just a whirling deceleration of fracticles, which collide as they change themselves and others. Since they are several orders of magnitude smaller than what are currently considered to be the basic building blocks of matter, we do not have the means to prove their existence. However, it is possible to offer indirect evidence to establish their existence, and this is presented in the book. Alongside the ontology, the author also examines the epistemology – the fracticles that enable us to grasp the world on two levels. The first level is conventional-cultural, which portrays a world view that is perceived through our senses, and continues through the nerves to the brain, where it is processed and “presented to us.” The other is the abstract level, which might be a true explanation, but due to the limits of our understanding and thought, it enables us to discuss it only as a “possibility.” It would appear that Democritus, who believed that the world has motion, would celebrate his late triumph over Parmenides, who claimed that the world is one, and thus has no motion. In contrast, the author perceives the world to be a massive universal flood of fracticles that are invisible, are several orders of magnitude smaller than the known particles, and are built in a way that has still not been presented. Their movement is eternal and retains a regular velocity, which is the speed of light. It is only a disruption to that motion that might be perceived by us. A disruption occurs 8 | Attraction – Secrets of Gravity when there is an accumulation of “disruptive fracticle vortexes” such as you, myself and the planets. We only see, feel and measure their velocity, which is halted for a short periods of time. Speaking of time, that is just a creation of our culture rather than a physical phenomenon or resource. The main role of Attraction – Secrets of Gravity, which is carried out very successfully, is to undermine our basic concepts of existence and the universe. Still, the explanation given in the book to various phenomena is not only in accordance with physics, but it might even improve it through the discussion of the most fundamental cosmology and ontology. If the velocity of fracticles is borderline, then different phenomena, from “red shifts” to “black holes”, are given such a simple explanation, that one might feel as though “that is it,” here is a fascinating solution to issues that have been discussed for such a long time. Even if we assume for a moment that all of the explanations in the book are mistaken, which would be difficult to prove (though that is not to say that the claims are not falsifiable according to Popper’s criteria), I believe that this book provides a cognitive breakthrough, equal in its potency to the explanation offered by Einstein, as he presented the Theory of Relativity. It is an enormous challenge to our whole outlook, our world view and all that surrounds us – against a conventional scientific world, one that is stable, comfortable and very well-funded, and which could be hostile to such a revolution. Hence, we must not disregard Attraction – Secrets of Gravity! We must not decide that “it is all unfounded” just because today’s scientific mainstream may think otherwise. We must address ideas, the claims and the examples, because they might bring about not only changes in scientific concepts, alongside interesting advancement and research, but even An enlargement of the area of forces exerted between the rings and the links Introduction | 9 changes in cultural concepts. Our comfortable, convinced world accepted the Theory of Relativity and Quantum Theory. It did not get angry at Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle, did not scream

That most famous of celestial signposts in the constellation Ursa Major, the Big Dipper is essentially a random distribution of stars that our eyes assemble into a pattern because that s what our eyes are designed to do. We see a string of lights across a dark background, and we draw a picture in the night sky. In three dimensions, we would have a different image: seven stars at divergent distances. The light reaching our eyes at any moment has departed these seven sources at scattered times. While the middle five stars (Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth and Mizar) are actually part of a cluster averaging 80.6 light-years away, the tip of the handle (Alkaid) is 100 light-years distant. And the pointer stars, showing the way to northern beacon Polaris, are 45 light-years apart: Merak at 79 light-years from earth, and Dubhe at 124 light-years. The numbers tell us our eyes have been deceived. Separating apparent patterns from significant patterns is a specialty of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, mapping one-fourth of the northern sky in three dimensions, working on a cosmic scale well beyond that of individual stars to sort out details of large-scale structure.
