Earths Gravitational Pull – Superordinate Newton’s Laws

Earths Gravitational Pull – in the book it was presented as an important cause causing diseases of the human musculoskeletal system. At the same time, mechanisms were indicated to limit this negative impact and to use it to reverse the destructive changes that have already been caused in the body. Because I based these considerations on the laws of gravity according to Isaac Newton, omitting the General Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein, I found it necessary to indicate what arguments decided about it. These theories do not contradict each other and are honored by most physicists worldwide. Although there is a widespread fascination with Einstein’s theory, Newton’s laws of gravity take precedence in the terrestrial environment. The manner of operation of these forces he described orders almost all-important physical phenomena on Earth.

Earths Gravitational Pull – Human Life

I wrote in the book that the life of man and all organisms living on it depends on gravity. The Earths Gravitational Pull plays a key role in maintaining an upright position, moving on two limbs, and providing life-giving energy to the muscles.

The force of the body’s gravity and the reaction of the ground cause tension in the elastic-plastic structure of the muscles. Thanks to this and the complex coordination of motor functions by the nervous system, a person can assume a vertical position on a solid surface. They can walk, run and perform other activities thanks to vertical muscle stimulation. The gravitational cycle of energy acquisition is the second, after the biochemical – metabolic cycle – basic way of renewing energy resources by humans. On the other hand, Einstein’s general theory of relativity refers mainly to the conditions prevailing in the universe. However, it is difficult to assess whether it is not unambiguous in this respect as well.

Albert Einstein called his model of gravity the curvature of space-time. In it, he used a tool in the form of a mathematical model of the curvature of four-dimensional space, which was prepared for him by Herman Minkowski. However, this model does not allow for the measurement of space-time or a coherent physical interpretation of gravity described in this way. For such an interpretation, Einstein used general knowledge known from Newton’s classical mechanics. It describes events on the circular or elliptical orbits that the planets and their satellites move in the solar system, on spherical celestial bodies and in their spherical environment. These events also determine the curvature of space at a specific time, which is measured according to traditional rules. Despite this, many scientists have considered the curvature of space-time to be a completely new and groundbreaking concept for science. However, Einstein himself wrote about it as follows:

First of all, we must avoid the opinion that the four-dimensionality of reality is a novelty introduced for the first time by this theory. Already in classical physics, an event is described by four numbers – three spatial coordinates and a time coordinate: the entirety of physical “events” is treated there as a four-dimensional continuous manifold.¹

In classical physics, reading the curvature of space and matching it to the time frame is easy and intuitive. It allows us to identify many physical events and track the history of the Cosmos. In the terrestrial environment, there are countless objects moving along the curved paths of “classical space-time”. It is gravity, acting in accordance with the law of universal gravitation, that keeps these objects on the Earth’s surface or in their proper orbits. Such objects include all kinds of vehicles, ships, but also living organisms moving along fragments of the spherical surface of our planet. Others are airplanes and birds, which usually fly in arcs parallel to the spherical surface of the Earth, but also take off, land and return. The curvature of space in time also applies to objects in space: satellites of planets, galaxies and other objects. However, they are of less importance for the direct organization of biological life on Earth.

Although Einstein’s general theory of relativity is over 100 years old, it has still not found direct application on Earth. It is believed that one of its few known applications is its use in the global satellite navigation system. However, technical solutions on a mass scale on our planet are still based on Newton’s laws. This also applies to the construction of spaceships and the programming of their flights in space. A serious shortcoming of modern science is the omission of the impact of gravity on the biogravitational machine that is the human body in research. Although gravity also shapes the lives of other organisms, it is man who is the most important sensor of gravity on its surface.
