Explain why there is no mass...

Welcome to this page of the Gravimotion Web Sites Family.
Gravimotion is a new interpretation of Nature, an alternate to theoretical physics.

Matter, even though Physical, is not Made of Mass

For millenniums the concept of mass inhabited human minds

As human beings we associate the concept of mass to the hardness and weight of matter and material objects.
For us human beings, mass is the very constituent of matter, mass represents the integrity Footnote of matter.
Yet as shown in this internet page the integrity of matter cannot be enforced by mass!
But first the fact of the matter about mass and matter!

Mass to matter ratio in volume

Under a microscope, objects appear as mosaics of molecules; at smaller scales, molecules appear as packs of atoms; and at smaller scales yet, atoms are merry-go-rounds of subatomic particles.


The Gravimotion Mechanism Book.
These subatomic particles - namely, protons, neutrons and electrons - one of which is represented on the far right, are incredibly small and active.
Mentally enlarging the size of an atom to that of a football field, in the center is a nucleus, the size of an orange, actually made of protons and neutrons; the nucleus diameter is 40,000 times smaller than the atom in which it resides
Close to the periphery are the electrons, performing their never-ending circular dance. Keeping in mind the football-field, at that scale electrons are the size of pinheads!

Matter is hollow in mass

As the football-field analogy shows, an atom, and matter for that matter, appears to be essentially empty of matter!
Now as far as mass is concerned the mass in the atom is found in the protons and neutrons making the nucleus and in the electrons.
Because both protons and neutrons are 1,800 times heavier than the electrons, for all purposes, the mass of the electrons can be ignored, and the mass of the atom is now essentially confined to the nucleus of the atom that is a miniscule volume (at scale the size of an orange in the middle of a football field).

Matter’s integrity, while physical, is not made of mass

Considering the volume of space that the atoms’ entire mass (the nuclei) occupy within matter, there is ample space for these nuclei to penetrate each other atoms’ territories.
According to the reality of things at the atomic scale, objects at our scale should penetrate other objects as easily as we move a comb through our hair; material objects should actually mingle and combine with each other. A pile of dishes should be reduced to one!

Yet because solid objects do not combine, matter can simply not be made of empty space!
As such an object material’s solidity is obviously not coincidental to its mass.

In a nutshell, matter's hardness, cohesion and integrity all have nothing to do with matter’s mass!

Introduction of neutral solid plasmas

  1. The mass of subatomic particles cannot enforce the integrity of matter
    Neither the hard core of the atoms’ nuclei as just seen way too small nor their gravitation much too weak implements the physical hardness and integrity of matter.
    The atoms’ peripheral electrons, called valence electrons, could play that role. They bind atoms into molecules and molecules into objects. The integrity of an object made of wood or iron - for instance, its strength and certainly its resistance to elongation - is dependent on these electrons. Yet these peripheral electrons too, as far as their mass is concerned, are physically too small in size to prevent the blending and intermixing of atoms and solid objects.
  2. Electric fields are the only remaining entity that can enforce the integrity of matter
    Within an atom though, the electric force is 1039 (that's one thousand, millions, millions, millions, millions, millions, millions) times stronger than that of gravity.
    One must conclude that electric fields the size of the atom itself - in effect, the nucleus / electrons combination of electric fields - implement the atom’s hardness, that is, its resistance to compression and elongation.
    Within our own bodies, and objects at larger scales such as boats and planes, these electric fields are the essence of matter’s integrity, which is characterized as being unimpaired by stress and motion.
  3. Even though made of strong electrical fields, atoms are neutral electrically, just as we human beings conceive mass
    The subatomic particles within an atom being evenly numbered in negative electrons and positive protons, the atom as a whole ends up being neutral electrically just as mass is (for us human beings and in physics).
  4. This is the first step of a process discrediting mass as conceived in physics.
    At this stage:
    1. We abolished the role that mass is thought to play that is mass representing matter’s solidity and cohesion.
    2. We identified the integrity of matter with robust electric yet neutralized fields.
  5. Two more steps have to be overcome
    • Now we have to distinguish these incredibly strong electric fields from the electric fields existing at our scale, such as the electromagnetic waves (an example of which is light) biased electrically yet not solid,
      To do so, the atom’s strong electric field implementing the integrity of matter is called solid plasma in gravimotion's interpretation of Nature.
      The atoms’ solid plasmas, which have no mass, are astonishingly larger than the minuscule solid nuclei in which is packed all of the mass should mass exist
      The solid plasmas of the atoms implement both matter’s solid integrity and electrical neutrality.
    • The weight of matter is also commonly attributed to mass. Yet, as shown below, the weight is actually a force and is not made of mass.
In a nutshell mass is not needed in matter! Electric fields only implement matter.

Objects’ solid plasmas are visible, not mass

When there is neither sunlight nor moonlight, we do not see matter around us.
The appearance of objects surrounding us consists of light, coming from somewhere (the sun for instance) being reflected on matter and reaching our eyes.
Solid matter is invisible by itself - unless matter is under stress, as happens in stars and in our sun, in which case matter does emit light.
During daylight, if it weren’t for its solid plasmas as defined in the previous section, light rays (or photons) would have plenty of room to travel in between the nuclei of the atoms, right through the (material) emptiness of matter! Matter would appear as transparent as glass. We would only be able to see sources of light such as the sun, fires, and light bulbs.
We are then compelled to conclude that the solid plasmas implementing matter reflect light rays, and that matter’s mass, which is all concentrated in the atoms’ tiny nuclei, does not.
The appearance of matter, just as its integrity, has nothing to do with matter’s mass.

In a nutshell mass is not needed for matter to be seen.

The weight of an object is not made of mass

When you climb on a scale, a spring is compressed under the force of gravity.
So your weight in the real world amounts to a force and is not made of mass.
Should you read more about gravimotion, you will find out that when an object is in free fall, it is simply considered to be in motion, hence the word gravimotion by the way.
In gravimotion's interpretation of Nature, both physics' static gravitational field and its associated force are re-united in a single entity called motion.
In the gravimotion world, the massless electric charge is surrounded-by, or is generating both electrical and gravitational fields.
In the gravimotion world both electrical and gravitational fields are implemented physically under the reality of motion, and have each their specific motion formats.

And when you stand still on a scale your body is submitted to restricted motion.

In a nutshell your weight has nothing to do with mass either.

Mass exists in our minds. Mass exists in physics.

By now our human concept of mass has been entrenched in our minds for millenniums, and our mathematical representation of the universe cannot do without it.
Note that there is nothing wrong with a mathematical representation of the universe, as long as the mathematics fit the effects or the experiments.
The goal of gravimotion is not to defeat physics mathematics; the goal of gravimotion is to reach a unified interpretation of Nature.

In a nutshell mass is a mathematical tool. Mass doesn't exist in reality.

Footnote:
The integrity of matter in science physics has a very precise mathematical meaning (through the Noether's theorem).
In this page, whether it be our own body's matter or un-animated object's matter such as a stone, the integrity of matter coincides to the fact it doesn't disintegrate (it remains integral or it keeps its integrity) under normal circumstances of motion, stress and simply under the normal state of being.
