How to Explain Mass and Gravitation

This section explores two fundamental components of the Theory of Everything: mass and gravitation.

Current academic teachings on these topics are, in many respects, incomplete. The evidence is simple: To this day, no one has successfully explained the true origin of mass and gravitation, nor established a clear link between these two phenomena — despite their obvious connection.

Furthermore, if Einstein’s general relativity is correct, then many common interpretations of spacetime curvature are likely mistaken.

Mass and Gravitation: A Unified Perspective

Here’s the proposed explanation:

Mass and gravitation are, quite logically, two manifestations of one unified theory. Their origin lies in the pressure exerted by the curvature of Einsteinian spacetime on physical objects.

• Mass (see left figure) arises because this spacetime pressure restricts an object’s freedom of movement.
• Gravitation (see right figure) is not an attractive force, as Newton suggested, but a pressure force acting on objects — similar to the concept introduced by Le Sage in 1758. Objects are pushed toward one another by the pressure resulting from spacetime curvature. From an external viewpoint, this pressure appears to behave like attraction.

These mechanisms are surprisingly simple and do not rely on complex constructs such as the Higgs boson.

This is precisely what we will explore in this first part of the Spacetime Model.
