The core concept of Mechanism-Revealed Gravitational Theory

Mechanism-Revealed Physics (21/40) ----- by Bingcheng Zhao

The concept of the gravitational scale contour lines of space and time: the core concept in the newly established and verified Mechanism-Revealed Gravitational Theory (MRGT) is the gravitational scale contour lines of space and time, being determined with the newly established and verified core equation of MRGT (also the equation of gravitational scales of space and time), which is on P. 455 as Eq (4-13) (Ch.4B, reference #1).

The gravitational scale contour lines of space and time vividly describe the characteristics of the gravitational scales of space and time in gravitational field. The gravitational scale contour lines of space and time in the gravitational field surrounding a rationally massive astronomical object consist of infinite number of concentric spheres with the mass center of the astronomical object as their common center, and the value of these gravitational scale contour lines increases radially outward across different contour lines — first rapidly then slowly, somewhat like the topographical contour lines of a normal basin. In addition, the relation of the gravitational scales of space and time is in the form of convex function with the distance from the mass center of the astronomical object generating the gravitational field (P. 456 ~ 458, reference #1). [*Note, MRGT = Mechanism-Revealed Gravitational Theory (P. 445 ~ 514, Ch.4B, reference #1)].

The fundamentally profound implication from the concept of the gravitational scale contour lines of space and time: gravitation is a force in Newton’s law, gravitation is a geometry of spacetime in Einstein’s postulate-based general relativity, gravitation is the gravitational scale contour lines of space and time in Zhao’s Mechanism-Revealed Gravitational Theory (P. 512, reference #1).
