    About this ebook

    In Newton’s view, all objects exert a force that attracts other objects. That universal law of gravitation worked pretty well for predicting the motion of planets as well as objects on Earth and it's still used, for example, when making the calculations for a rocket launch. But unfortunately it cannot be derived from first principles.

    In this book gravity has been derived from first principles without any assumptions. What has been believed to be a fundamental force for years can actually be derived from first principles has this book explains. The derivation is simple and straight forward. The experiment to the derivation has also been proposed. This book will help us rethink Physics.

    Balungi Francis

    Balungi Francis was born in Kampala, Uganda, to a single poor mother, grew up in Kawempe, and later joined Makerere Universty in 2006, graduating with a Bachelor Science degree in Land Surveying in 2010. For four years he taught in Kampala City high schools, majoring in the fields of Gravitation and Quantum Physics. His first book, "Mathematical Foundation of the Quantum theory of Gravity," won the Young Kampala Innovative Prize and was mentioned in the African Next Einstein Book Prize (ANE).  He has spent over 15years researching and discovering connections in physics, mathematics, geometry, cosmology, quantum mechanics, gravity, in addition to astrophysics, unified physics and geographical information systems . These studies led to his groundbreaking theories, published papers, books and patented inventions in the science of Quantum Gravity, which have received worldwide recognition. From these discoveries, Balungi founded the SUSP (Solutions to the Unsolved Scientific Problems) Project Foundation in 2004 – now known as the SUSP Science Foundation. As its current Director of Research, Balungi leads physicists, mathematicians and engineers in exploring Quantum Gravity  principles and their implications in our world today and for future generations. Balungi launched the Visionary School of Quantum Gravity  in 2016 in order to bring the learning and community further together. It’s the first and only Quantum Gravity physics program of its kind, educating thousands of students from over 80 countries. The book "Quantum Gravity in a Nutshell1", a most recommend book in quantum gravity research , was produced based on Balungi's discoveries and their potential for generations to come. Balungi is currently guiding the Foundation, speaking to audiences worldwide, and continuing his groundbreaking research.

      Derivation of Newton's Law of Gravitation - Balungi Francis

      Author

      Proof

      The law of gravitation is derived from classical Casimir effect, which states that the vacuum through which particles move is not empty but consists of an indeterminate state of fluctuating fields and particles.

      Even if you remove all the particles and radiation from a region of space, space still won’t be empty. It will consist of virtual pairs of particles and antiparticles.

      It is known that, when light propagates through an empty region, if space is perfectly empty, it should move through that space unimpeded, without bending, slowing or breaking into multiple wavelengths. Applying an external magnetic field doesn’t change this, as photons, with their oscillatory electric and magnetic fields don’t bend in a magnetic field. Even when your space is filled with particle antiparticle pairs, this effect doesn’t change. But if you apply a strong magnetic field to a space filled with particle antiparticle pairs, suddenly a real, observable effect arises.

      An electron feels a force like gravity due to the changes in the vacuum brought about by the presence of a strong magnetic field.

      ––––––––

      The Casimir force on a single electron due to quantum vacuum fluctuations was computed and has been verified by experiment to be

      Where, c is the speed of virtual particles in a vacuum and A is the surface area of the electron.

      Now let us calculate the force felt by the electron when a strong magnetic field is present.

      Let us assume that the electron of mass m and charge e is placed in the vacuum empty space, a sea of virtual particles popping in and out of space at the speed c.

      The speed of the virtual paticles in a vacuum is related to the electric field E of the electron and the external magnetic field B on the electron by

      The force felt by an electron due to vacuum polarization then becomes,

      ––––––––

      The above given force will reduce to the gravitational force felt by an electron when the following conditions become true:

      1) When the characteristic value of the electric field built from the electron mass is

      This has been observed near Neutron stars and magnetars.

      2) When the characteristic value of the external Magnetic field through the surface area of the electron is

      3) When the surface area of the electron is

      Where r is the radius of the electron

      When all the above given values have been put into consideration, one obtains the familiar law

      We have recovered Newton’s law of gravitation, practically form first principles. Following the above derivation carefully, it implies that gravity is a force resulting from the quantum vacuum polarizations due to an existence of an external strong magnetic field. This is proof that gravity is indeed a quantum force that can be explained from
