The paper needs to be analyzed and demonstrated: in the absolute empty reference frame of the Earth, mass points moving in a horizontal circular motion on the Earth’s surface (in a conical plane circular motion around the Earth’s center of mass) can generate radial centrifugal forces on the Earth’s center of mass, thus achieving an unconventional anti-gravity path.
Therefore, this paper makes a theoretical analysis and demonstration from four aspects.
2.2. Analysis of the Acceleration of Gravity at Different Latitudes of the Earth
The acceleration of gravity is different at different places on the Earth’s surface. There are many factors affecting it, but from the analysis of the factors of the earth itself, there are three main reasons. First, the earth is not a standard normal sphere, and the radius of the earth’s center of mass at different points on the surface is not the same, resulting in a slight difference in the acceleration of gravity. Second, due to the rotation of the earth, the linear velocity of the fixed mass point on the surface of the earth at different latitudes is not the same, forming the difference in centrifugal force (centripetal force), resulting in some differences in the acceleration of gravity. Third, the uneven distribution of the earth’s mass leads to some differences in the acceleration of gravity in different regions.
This paper will mainly analyze the physical principle of the difference in the acceleration of gravity at different latitudes due to the rotation of the earth.
Due to the rotation of the earth, there are two basic geometric motion morphology of fixed mass points on the Earth’s surface under the absolute airspace reference system of the earth.
First is the geometrical morphology of two-dimensional planar circular motion around the Earth’s center of mass. The so-called two-dimensional planar circular motion around the earth’s center of mass means that the center point of the circular motion overlops with the earth’s center of mass to form a two-dimensional plane. For example, the rotation of the Earth creates the geometry of circular motion of mass points on the surface of the equator.
The second is the geometric morphology of conical form of plane circular motion around the earth’s center of mass. The so-called conical form of plane circular motion around the earth’s center of mass means that the plane circular motion and the earth’s center of mass constitute a three-dimensional right circular cone (The front view and side view of the right circular cone are isosceles triangles). With the exception of the equator, the motions of fixed mass points on the surface of the Earth caused by its rotation are all in this geometric morphology.
These two basic geometric motion morphology will have an impact on the acceleration of gravity, and the physical principle is the same. All are due to mass points the different linear velocities around the Earth’s center of mass, resulting in it’s different radial centrifugal forces of the Earth’s center of mass, resulting in it’s different gravitational acceleration.
In the absolute airspace reference system of the earth, the geometry of a mass point moving in a horizontal circle on the Earth’s surface is exactly the same as that of a fixed mass point at a certain latitude caused by the earth’s rotation. That is, they all belong to the geometric morphology of Conical form of plane circular motion around the Earth’s center of mass. Therefore, they should also be equivalent in terms of the physical principles that produce the radial centrifugal force at the center of the Earth’s mass.
For this reason, if “due to the rotation of the earth, the linear velocity of the fixed mass point on the surface of the earth at different latitudes is not the same, the difference in the radial centrifugal force of the Earth’s center of mass is formed, resulting in some differences in the acceleration of gravity” this view is valid. Thus, it can be shown that “a mass point moving in a horizontal circle on the Earth’s surface (Conical form of plane circular motion around the Earth’s center of mass) can produce a radial centrifugal force on the Earth’s center of mass.” The argument holds.
Therefore, the key to all problems is to prove: “due to the rotation of the Earth, the mass points at different latitudes on the surface of the Earth can produce radial centrifugal forces at the center of the Earth’s mass.” Whether this argument holds.
At present, there are two main methods to calculate the gravitational acceleration of surface mass points at different latitudes of the earth. First, it is calculated by the 1967 international gravity calculation formula (which belongs to the empirical formula); The second is the combination of Newton mechanics and geometry, and the calculation formula is derived from pure theory. The results of the first method are relatively accurate, but it is impossible to directly analyze and understand its physical principles. Because the second method only considers the latitude and radius from the Earth’s center of mass, it ignores the difference in mass distribution, and the radius is not accurate, so the error is relatively large, but it can understand its physical principle. Therefore, this paper adopts the second method to do two different forms of analysis.
2.2.1. General Traditional Method Analysis
Generally, the traditional analysis is based on universal gravitation, Newton’s second law and the centrifugal force (or centripetal force) generated by the axis of rotation around the Earth through the parallelogram rule (axiom) of geometric mechanics to derive the theoretical calculation formula [
5]. This is shown in
Figure 1 and
Figure 2.
According to the parallelogram rule, through theoretical derivation, the formula can be obtained:
Note: (01) is derived from [
5] p63, (11); The author has made some changes in the expression form (the R-value of the original formula is expressed by elliptical calculation), and the essence has not changed.
Where: G is the universal gravitation constant; M is the mass of the Earth; R is the distance (radius) from the mass point to the Earth’s center of mass; Ω is the angular speed of the Earth’s rotation.
T is the rotation period of the Earth, then:
The above theoretical analysis and derivation method has another form, that is, according to the axial centripetal force generated by the mass point around the earth’s rotation axis; However, it is still analyzed and derived by the parallelogram rule, and the conclusion is the same. Its physical principles and mathematical methods are generally accepted. Therefore, the above conclusions can be used as a correct theoretical blueprint for comparison.
According to the above conventional analysis method, it can only be concluded that the mass point produces axial centrifugal force (centripetal force) Ft around the earth’s rotation axis. Although it is intuitive to think that the -4R(πcosλ/T)2 part of formula (02) should be the centrifugal (centripetal) acceleration caused by generated by the mass point there the radial centrifugal force of the Earth’s center of mass. However, it is not possible to directly draw and understand the conclusion that the mass point here can produce the radial centrifugal force of the earth’s center of mass.
Therefore, the author based on Newtonian mechanics, through vector method to do another form of derivation and analysis.
2.2.2. Vector Analysis with the Radial Centrifugal Force of the Earth’s Centroid as the Target
Let a stationary mass point m on the ground at latitude φ of the Earth, Its radius from the Earth’s axis of rotation is r, The radial centrifugal force vector at the center of a fixed masspoint moving in a circle around the axis of rotation due to the rotation of the earth is
Fr, The resulting radial centrifugal force vector of the Earth’s center of mass is
F’R, The universal gravitation of the Earth’s center of mass on mass point m is
FR, As shown in
Figure 3.
Where:
v
m is the linear velocity of the mass point (caused by the rotation of the Earth).
T is the time it takes the earth to rotate once; R is the distance (radius) of the mass point from the Earth’s center of mass.
Then the actual gravitational force F
φ and gravitational acceleration g
φ of a mass point at the earth latitude φ are:
Although the above derivation and analysis methods do not conform to the parallelogram rule in mechanics and geometry. However, it is very obvious that formula (09) is exactly equivalent to formula (02) or formula (01). Therefore, as long as the mathematical analysis and derivation process of formula (09) is not wrong, then the analysis and derivation method of formula (09) is also correct.
This analysis and derivation method can directly draw the conclusion that a mass point moving in a conical plane around the earth’s center of mass (the conical vertex is the Earth’s center of mass) can produce the radial centrifugal force of the Earth’s center of mass, thus affecting the weight of the mass point. At the same time, it is also proved that “a mass point moving in a horizontal circle on the earth’s surface (moving in a conical plane circle around the Earth’s center of mass) can generate a radial centrifugal force on the Earth’s center of mass.” The argument holds.
2.3. Centrifugal Force Analysis of Mass Points in Horizontal Circular Motion on the Earth Surface
According to the above conclusions, it is inferred that a mass point moving in a horizontal circular motion on the Earth’s surface is also a conical horizontal circular motion around the Earth’s center of mass, and the geometry of its motion is exactly the same as that of a fixed mass point on the surface formed by the earth’s rotation under the same frame of reference. Therefore, this mass point will also produce the radial centrifugal force of the Earth’s center of mass, and the physical principle of producing the radial centrifugal force of the Earth’s center of mass is the same. As shown in
Figure 4:
Therefore, formula (05) is also suitable for calculating the magnitude of the radial centrifugal force of the Earth’s center of mass for a mass point moving horizontally in a circle on the Earth’s surface.
According to the formula F’R=mvm2/R (05), the magnitude of the radial centrifugal force of the Earth’s centroid of a mass point moving in a horizontal circle on the earth’s surface is determined by three parameters: the mass m of the mass point, the linear velocity vm of the mass point (the velocity is expressed as v on the line of Diagram 4) and the distance R of the mass point from the Earth’s centroid. And there is no direct relationship with the radius r of the circumference of the horizontal circular motion. Formula (03) and formula (05) are exactly the same except for the radius (distance) parameter. It is also proved that the different radial centrifugal force vectors generated by the circular motion of two different geometric forms are equivalent in physical principle. It’s just that the parameters of the radial radius distance are different.
Set up an efficiency parameter, that is, the ratio of the radial centrifugal force
F’R of the Earth’s centroid generated by the mass point to the weight of the mass point, referred to as the gravity ratio ρ:
g is the gravitational acceleration.
It is obvious that only when ρ≥1, the mass point that produces the radial centrifugal force of the earth’s center of mass may be suspended or soar because the centrifugal force is greater than or equal to the gravitational force (mass point weight), so as to achieve the purpose of anti-gravity.
Set ρ≥1, from the equation (10) can be obtained:
V0 is the critical velocity for suspension.
The formula (11) is exactly consistent with the formula for calculating the velocity of the first universe. It shows that, theoretically speaking, the radial centrifugal force generated by the conical plane circular motion of a mass point around the Earth’s center of mass and the two-dimensional plane circular motion around the earth’s center of mass are exactly equivalent when other parameters are the same.
2.4. Analysis of Two Possible Basic Principles
According to the above analysis, there maybe two basic principles for the radial centrifugal force generated by the conical plane circular motion of a mass point around the Earth’s center of mass:
Principle 1: The radial centrifugal force F’R of the Earth’s center of mass of a mass point is a component of the radial centrifugal force Fr of the center of its horizontal circle; That is, F’R is determined by Fr, and F’R is not an independently generated centrifugal force.
Principle 2: The radial centrifugal force F’R of the Earth’s center of mass of a mass point and the radial centrifugal force Fr of its horizontal circle are two relatively independent centrifugal forces. There are three reasons for this:
First, the essence of centrifugal force is that the linear velocity of a mass point is always perpendicular to the radial direction of the earth’s center of mass or the radial direction of the horizontal circle.When a mass point moves in a conical plane circle around the Earth’s center of mass, the linear velocity of the mass point is always perpendicular to the Earth’s center of mass and also perpendicular to the center of the horizontal circle. Therefore, two independent radial centrifugal forces should also be generated separately.
Second, according to formula(05), the radial centrifugal force F’R of the Earth’s centroid of a mass point has no direct relationship with relevant parameters of the horizontal circumference (such as the radius r of the horizontal circumference). It is only directly related to the mass of the mass point, the linear velocity of the mass point and the distance of the mass point from the Earth’s center of mass. Therefore, the radial centrifugal force F’R of the Earth’s center of mass of a mass point should be independently generated.
Thirdly, according to the analysis in
Section 2.3, the radial centrifugal force generated by the conical plane circular motion of a mass point around the Earth’s center of mass is equivalent to that generated by the two-dimensional plane circular motion around the Earth’s center of mass when other parameters are the same. Therefore, the conical plane circular motion of a mass point around the Earth’s center of mass can be regarded as the same as the two-dimensional plane circular motion around the Earth’s center of mass, and the radial centrifugal force of the Earth’s center of mass can be independently generated.
Either of them principle one or principle two must be true. Although the formula for calculating the radial centrifugal force of the particle center of the Earth in Principle 1 and Principle 2 is the same, the physical meaning generated by the two principles is different.
Under normal circumstances, principle one is relatively easy to understand and easy to be accepted by everyone.Principle two is more difficult to understand and requires a proper experiment to verify.
