No choice in this matter, that is, according to you. You have limited your thinking.mjv1121 wrote:In order to explain gravity, charge and all things E/M, we must inevitably concede to the existence of a material quantum particle field.

How does it do that?
So far you have merely described what we all think we know happens according to our senses, and arbitrarily attributed it to your "push" "field of tiny particles." Push gravity has its own can of worms. I don't buy it, not that that matters in the scheme.mjv1121 wrote:Thus we can now visualise our reality as existing within this field of tiny particles that is the cause and medium of all force fields. While standing on Earth we are subject to the collisional conditions locally prevailing; that is, a net push towards the centre of the Earth by the effect of gravity. If we move up or sideways, and especially if we accelerate, there is a change of collisional effects from the field: we experience inertia. Free falling in the gravity field is the same as not moving against the field. If you were to attempt to steer sideways whilst in free fall, inertia would reappear. If you accelerate downwards faster than gravity, there would again be inertia.
Adding "must" to you unqualified statements certainly increases the scientific value of everything you state!mjv1121 wrote:Since electrostatic charge must be an emission and since any particle field movement into a celestial body must be equaled by an outward movement, it stands to reason that there must be a net outward emission of "charge" from all and any body that exists in the quantum vacuum field.
mjv1121 wrote:In other words all bodies are emitting an outward moving field of the same nature as the net inward effect of gravity - you may think of it as upward gravity if that helps. We are taught that an orbit is achieved by running away from gravity, by the process of continually changing direction - "falling without hitting the ground".
One may defy gravity without changing direction relative the surface of the Earth, merely by accelerating precisely opposite the gravity vector.
"We are taught" as in "you?" I was taught that Inertia causes unaccelerated matter to proceed in a linear manner; it is the balance of momentum vs. the gravitational acceleration, however it is produced, that results in an orbit.
I don't follow your thoughts here. They seem garbled! Gravitational acceleration diminishes as the inverse square of the distance from the surface of the mass in line with the center of mass. It is not constant in this sense. It acts instantaneously since the field exists all around the mass. Any other mass occupying a place in the field will experience the acceleration already potentially there at that distance from the mass under investigation.mjv1121 wrote:But as has been pointed out many times on this forum, gravity is constant, or at the very least, it is very fast.
mjv1121 wrote:Changing direction in space whilst inside a significant gravity well would be utterly hopeless as a strategy to avoid the push of gravity.
Well, yes, changing direction will be useless without an acceleration. Nothing Earth shaking about that statement.
mjv1121 wrote:However, there is also an emitted field moving outward in opposition to the downward/inward push of gravity.
According to yours and some others speculations.
mjv1121 wrote:If an orbiter were to remain stationary relative to the planet they would be pushed inward by the effect of gravity.
Pushed or pulled, doesn't matter . . . may or may not fall . . . Geostationary orbits don't fall to Earth!
mjv1121 wrote:But, since the push of gravity is constant at all points through the orbit,
This is only true in circular orbits, not true in elliptical orbits.
mjv1121 wrote: . . . if an orbiter can travel around the planet at a given velocity appropriate to the distance from the planet, then they may encounter sufficient outward pushing force to balance the inward push of gravity. At that balance point an object in effectively weightless, since there is no net gravity field. Also, at that point and at that velocity in those prevailing field conditions there is no inertial effect to the orbit. Orbits are a balance of gravity and "charge".
I hate to be so blunt with you here Micheal, but frankly you are just using up band width. The "outward pushing force" is just the instantaneous inertial resistance to the instantaneous action of gravity (however it is produced) on the linear propensity of mass to proceed in a linear manner; to be as redundant and tedious as your statements.
Your last paragraph here is definitely, IMHO, material for the New Insights and Mad Ideas thread.mjv1121 wrote:One may also wish to muse on an area of space just beyond the bulk of the atmosphere - namely the ionosphere or ionisation "layer". One may also look to an object such as Saturn, where the "electrical" activity of the Saturnian system does not appear to correlate to its distance from the Sun. Saturn, and all planetary bodies, are producing their own charge field. But as charge fields, ionospheres and "electrical" activity goes, the king of the hill by a wide margin, is the Sun. The Sun doesn't need to be fed by "currents", its immense mass contains a vast quantity of charge and photon emitters confined in close proximity by gravity. Any nuclear reactions or Birkeland currents are not cause they are effect. A star shines simply because it is so massive.
