Abstract:
This paper proposes that the speed of the Force of Gravity is a variable, not ‘c’ and not fixed at light speed and that Newton’s Gravity Law gives Lagrangian mechanics an additional degree of freedom because it defines an additional Stationary Action. That additional Action is the force/energy to provide the constant acceleration of an object in a gravitational field generated by a Gravitational Mass (GM) regardless of that object’s Inertial Mass (IM). Newton’s second Law on force and acceleration, F = ma, and his Law F = GMm/r2 on the force of gravity are examined from a new perspective to find that the speed of this massless energy field is many orders of magnitude higher than light speed.
