Astrophysical Evidence Clearly Shows

A Direct Interaction between Gravitation and Electromagnetism

Occurs Nowhere in Plasma-Free Vacuum Space

Updated: November 6, 2016

A pure Classical Physics look at Electromagnetism and Gravitation

For nearly a century now, there has been absolutely no concrete, pure classical treatment to the physics problems pertaining to significant fractions of the velocity of light. Until now, no alternative methods had been presented that use pure classical approaches which are explainable with simple, intuitive measures without having to resort to the usual framework of Special and General Relativity.

There is now a simple, profound and completely overlooked classical alternative to the Special and General Relativity principles. It is the correct alternative that uses only the electrodynamics of Galilean transformations in Euclidean Space Geometry alone according to the principal axioms of the Extinction Shift Principle; a pure Classical Physics discipline coined and developed by this author.

Microwaves Found to Deflect only at Minimum Impact Parameter when Propagated in the Plasma Limb of the Sun

Finding Clearly Supported by Astrophysical Evidence

The Prediction of General Relativity and the Observations Alternately

A direct interaction between

Gravitation and Electromagnetism

occurs nowhere in plasma-free vacuum space

SOME ANIMATED ARTIST DEPICTIONS SEEN ONLY IN THE LITERATURE

NOT SEEN ANYWHERE IN ASTRONOMY

A CLEAR OBSERVATIONAL FACT

Microwaves from extragalactic radio sources deflect only at the impact parameter

corresponding to the plasma limb of the sun where R is the radius of the analytic Gaussian sphere that encloses the solar mass M. The deflection is found to be precisely at the angle of exactly 1.752 arcsec. Deflections of microwaves at higher impact parameters > R and at angles < 1.752 arcsec are not observed.

Illustrated: Stellar Plasma Limb Focusing of Starlight Rays from Left to Right

Starlight deflected by any sun-like star with solar mass M_sun and solar radius R_sun will come to a focus at 562 astronomical units(AU's). Arbitrary stars with stellar mass M and stellar radius R will have a plasma focal length of [(R/R_sun)(M_sun/M)]x562 AU's. Hence, a more dens star with a solar radius R_sun will have a shorter plasma focul length < 562 AU's. A less dens star with a solar radius R_sun will have a longer plasma focul length > 562 AU's.

Rays of starlight will come to a focus at 562 AU's from the sun. We shall refer to this distance as the Solar Plasma Focal Length.

Solar Plasma Focal Length

Burning Question: Where are the Einstein Rings?

Light rays from any sun-like star of solar mass M_sun and solar radius R_sun will come to a focus at a distance of 562 astronomical units, assuming a gravitational deflection at the angle of 1.752 arcsec.

The image of a low impact parameter Einstein Ring would be visible to any observer located near, but not beyond the Plasma Focal Length of a sun-like star, as illustrated above. For this very reason the gravitational lensing of a stellar plasma-limb lensing system would not be visible to observers at astronomical distances from the stellar plasma lens. Plasma Limb Focusing can be observed only by placing a remote sensing system in deep space near the Plasma Focal Length of the Sun or a Star.

The gravitational deflection of light apparently does not take place anywhere in plasma-free vacuum space. As supported observational evidence, Einstein Rings are not seen anywhere in the star-filled skies; a direct violation of the light bending rules of General Relativity.

Dr. Albert Einstein's own words:

"Wenn die Lichtgeschwindigkeit auch nur ein bi�chen von der Geschwindigkeit der Lichtquelle abh�ngig ist, dann ist meine ganze Relativit�tstheorie und Gravitationstheorie falsch." {Zitat A. Einsteins von einem Brief an Erwin Finley-Freundlich: August 1913}

"If the velocity of light is only a tiny bit dependent on the velocity of the light source, then my whole theory of Relativity and Gravitation is false." {Quotation of A. Einstein from a letter to Erwin Finley-Freundlich: August 1913}.

A Denial of the teaching of the Alternative is a

Shortchanging of the new Pupil of Science

"The physical science student is too often taught to be part of a closed society of non-intuitive thinking. Fortunately, the innocent, bright young open-minded student possesses an immunity to coercive teaching."

"The referees and the editorial staff of mainstream publishers are apparently hired to protect an in-house review system."
