The removal of the Lorentz contraction from the
established theory has far-reaching consequences because, for example, the
concept of Curved Space/Time can simply be thrown in the trash. All results
achieved with this concept can also be derived with the simplified theory we
propose.
This also clears the way to look at the concept
of gravity in a different way. The acceleration of gravity, which an object
experiences near a large mass, can no longer be considered as a result of a
force emanating from the mass, but as a force resulting from the obstruction that
the large mass forms on the symmetrical environment of the object.
This is the
basis of the obstruction theory.
It
is clear that science is struggling with the concept of gravity. As obvious as
the force is, it is just as difficult to fathom how we should understand this
force. The interpretation of the phenomenon of gravity is still inadequate. It
is precisely at this point that the book "Time and Cosmos" provides
startling new insights.

It
was, of course, a great achievement for Einstein to demonstrate that time
slows down in a moving galaxy. A nice proof that cannot be criticized. In one
attempt he 'proved' - as if this were self-evident - that the length of an
object must have shrunk in the direction of motion. If space is considered a
physical quantity, the entire moving space should have shrunk in the direction
of motion.
We prove Einstein's 'proof' wrong. The Lorentz contraction does not exist, but
is based on a misconception.
That has far-reaching consequences. While Einstein had to call on curved
space/time to compensate for the Lorentz contraction in his explanation of the
Ehrenfest paradox, this is completely unnecessary if the Lorentz contraction
does not exist.
In the improved theory, however, we must take into account that an object seen
from the starting point has travelled a greater distance in the stationary
system at a certain time than at the same time seen from the point of arrival.
This will be and remain a puzzling outcome for many!
In
this book we show that the theory of relativity becomes more understandable
once Einstein's mistakes are repaired. Suddenly a broad perspective unfolds to
better understand the cosmos and the movements of the heavenly bodies. Time
plays a crucial role in this.
We show that in an accelerating system like a taking off plane the front clock
ticks faster than the back clock. In the acceleration field formed by gravity,
we know that the front clock ticks slower than the rear clock; just as much
slower as the clock should run faster due to the acceleration. This means that
an observer in free fall in a gravitational field must regard his system of
motion as a system at rest.
The big question is what causes a mass to cause an
object to accelerate. This can be explained from symmetry considerations. An
object that is a great distance from a mass may not physically have any
different properties than an object that is close to that mass. In practice,
an object at constant distance of that mass will show a difference in the rate
at which chemical reactions occur at the front of the object and the back of
the object. This can be corrected if the object undergoes an acceleration
towards the mass. This is only possible if we assume that space has no
physical properties.
Result:
the acceleration is a natural state for a freely moving object. In that state,
there is no difference in the speed of time at different locations on the
object or the rate at which chemical reactions proceed.
Now the remarkable thing is that the time dilation
depends directly on the light deflection. The deflection of light is directly
related to the obstruction formed by a (large) mass, which detracts from the
view to the edges of the universe. The time dilation near a mass turns out to
be equal to the reduction in visibility of the universe due to the mass. The
size of the obstruction is in turn related to the solid angle occupied by the
Einstein ring of the mass.
In this way, gravity takes shape because the
acceleration of an object is intended to cancel out the differences in the
time speed between the front and back of the object. It is therefore not a
force that arises from the mass, but a force that results from its action as
an obstruction.
This
completely different approach, which produces a different gravity formula and
therefore also a different behavior of gravity, I call the Obstruction
Theory.
A
major consequence is that the concept of the gravitational field needs to be
revised. An object experiences gravity through its instantaneous perception.
If the mass is at a great distance and is moving quickly, then gravity is
still focused on the place where the mass is seen and not on the place where
the mass is actually located. That is a big difference with Newton/Einstein's
theory. So in our theory we must take the object speed into account to
calculate gravity.
Application
of this new theory leads to an explanation of Dark Matter. It also sheds new
light on the mysterious, stable existence of the Earth-moon system.
Many other examples are discussed in the book.
