Thank you for sharing this video @Dr. Maria Nagy. I think it does a good job of outlining the mainstream perspective on gravity, especially in how it transitions from Newton’s “force at a distance” to Einstein’s curved spacetime and even touches on the ongoing search for quantum gravity. However, my view—based on Acoustic Gravitic Theory (AGT)—approaches gravity differently. Where the video presents gravity as a geometric effect with no physical medium, AGT restores it to a mechanical phenomenon that arises from measurable pressure gradients in real media: Earth’s atmosphere for local gravity and plasma for cosmic gravity. In AGT, weight is produced by a vertical infrasonic pressure gradient of about 12 Pa/m pressing down on matter through the Primary Bjerknes Force, a well-established principle in fluid dynamics. Similarly, planetary orbits align with standing wave nodes in the heliospheric plasma, formed by solar magnetosonic and Langmuir waves. This means “gravity” is not an intrinsic property of mass but a wave-driven interaction sustained by oscillatory energy fields. This perspective also reframes phenomena like gravitational lensing and time dilation. Instead of spacetime curvature, AGT attributes lensing to plasma refraction and time dilation to resonant drag on atomic oscillators in pressure fields, both of which are testable with current or near-future instrumentation (e.g., my Vertical Infrasound Gradient Array https://graviticalchemy.com/viga-gravity-detector/). In other words, what relativity describes mathematically, AGT explains physically with a medium and a clear causal chain. I respect the mathematical elegance of general relativity, but I think its reliance on abstract constructs like curved spacetime and gravitons points to a missing mechanism. AGT doesn’t replace that mathematics—it gives it a physical foundation. By treating gravity as a wave-mediated pressure effect, we can not only explain what we already observe but also design experiments to measure, modulate, and even engineer gravity directly, something the geometry-based model cannot do.

@Ken Parrott Thanks for sharing that, Ken! I think we’re both pushing against the same problem: the idea that gravity is just “mystery math” instead of a physical mechanism. Where we differ is in what fills that gap. I see wave-driven pressure as the missing piece rather than quantum entanglement. In Acoustic Gravitic Theory, ultra-low-frequency waves from the Sun couple into Earth and create vertical pressure gradients—real, measurable fields. Those gradients “weigh down” everything inside them, and when you leave the field (like in orbit), you feel weightless because the pressure isn’t there, not because gravity stops “pulling.” You’re absolutely right that we shouldn’t settle for unprovable placeholders. That’s why I’m focused on building experiments to measure these pressure fields directly instead of treating gravity like a built-in constant. Love that you’re thinking this way—it means more people are ready to challenge the old assumptions instead of just accepting them.

@Ken Parrott you are too kind sir!

😊 Thank you, @Dr. Maria Nagy ! I’m excited that this week’s topic is gravity, because it’s one of the most misunderstood areas in physics. NASA’s GRACE mission is fascinating, but here’s something most people don’t realize: even within mainstream science, gravity has two conflicting definitions. Newton’s model describes it as a mass-based pull, while Einstein’s General Relativity replaces that entirely with spacetime curvature. These are not the same—and neither model explains how gravity is physically transmitted. What GRACE actually measures are variations in pressure caused by density changes underground, but the mechanism of gravity itself is still assumed rather than detected. That’s why my research in Acoustic Gravitic Theory (AGT) focuses on a different approach: gravity as a wave-driven pressure gradient, produced by infrasound in Earth’s atmosphere and magnetosonic waves in space. If we start testing gravity as a measurable pressure field instead of an abstract pull or curvature, we can finally move from “describing” gravity to engineering it. 🚀

people smile!

Do you think my plan will work?!
