Abstract

The relative velocity between objects with finite velocity affects the reaction between them. This effect is known as general Doppler effect. The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) discovered gravitational waves and found their speed to be equal to the speed of light c. Gravitational waves are generated following a disturbance in the gravitational field; they affect the gravitational force on an object. Just as light waves are subject to the Doppler effect, so are gravitational waves. This article explores the following research questions concerning gravitational waves: What is the spatial distribution of gravitational waves? Can the speed of a gravitational wave represent the speed of the gravitational field (the speed of the action of the gravitational field upon the object)? What is the speed of the gravitational field? Do gravitational waves caused by the revolution of the Sun affect planetary precession? Can we modify Newton’s gravitational equation through the influence of gravitational waves?

Comment: GR believes that the speed of gravity is equal to the speed of light. If this is true, then the orbits of the planets and the Sun in the solar system should at least remain stable. We have added the gravitational speed parameter to the program, which can be set arbitrarily, such as equal to 0.1c, equal to c, equal to 100c, and so on. Especially in a binary star system (1-body), when the gravitational speed parameter is set to c, we can clearly observe that the orbits of the planets and the Sun will no longer be stable. As shown in Figure 14(a), the solar orbit will spiral in a certain direction. By simulating different gravitational speeds, we have come to the conclusion that the lower the gravitational speed, the more unstable the solar system. The theoretical basis of GR is that the speed of gravity is equal to the speed of light, but the accuracy of the orbit simulation is not reflected. Even if the space-time is curved, the orbit will not remain stable. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/350617258_Gravitational_Fields_and_Gravitational_Waves

Comment: Most physics experimenters such as Lahaley, Ivers, Shadi, Granu and Sons, Malinoff and Pappas also do not agree with the theory of relativity.
I was very curious who was supporting GR and SR at the time. Until now, why are governments in every country in the world supporting it? Why are almost all SCI journals supporting it.

Is it because of "the emperor's new outfit"?

Comment: Voice from GR supporters:
If the Sun were to spontaneously cease emitting light, we wouldn't know about it for about 8 minutes and 20 seconds. The light that's arriving here on Earth, right at this very moment, was emitted from the Sun's photosphere a finite amount of time in the past, and is only being seen now after a journey across the 150 million km (93 million miles) separating the Sun from the Earth. If the Sun were to go dark right now, we wouldn't find out until the light stopped arriving.
But what about gravitationally? If the Sun were spontaneously (somehow) removed from existence, how long would Earth remain in its elliptical orbit before flying off in a straight line? Believe it or not, the answer to this must be exactly the same amount of time as it was for light: 8 minutes and 20 seconds. The speed of gravity not only equals the speed of light to an incredibly precise degree observationally, but these two constants must be exactly equal theoretically, or General Relativity would fall apart. Here's the science behind why.


GR can’t accept that the speed of gravity is far greater than the speed of light. Come on, who can measure the speed of gravity or prove that the speed of gravity is far greater than the speed of light. This will not only overthrow GR, but also leave your name in history.
