Astronomy

In a previous paper¹ I worked out the general form of Newton’s Law of Gravitation and applied it to the special case of a planet orbiting the sun. In this case Newton’s Law was modified by the factor

For the case of an object moving directly toward another object rather than orbiting, the genetal equation reduces to Newton’s Law multiplied by the factor

The theory of stellar energy generation in the Reciprocal System is stated qualitatively in various works by Mr. Larson, such as Quasars and Pulsars. For the benefit of new readers of Reciprocity, I quote Mr. Larson in full:

This paper discusses the forces on stars in a globular cluster. Consider Figure 1; the symbols are defined as follows:

M_g = mass of the stars of a globular ciuster Internal to g that of a particular star

m = mass of that particular star

m_p = mass of the nearest neigboring stars

x_g = distance of the star from the mass center of the globular g cluster

x_{p =} distance of the star from the mass center of the nearest neighboring stars

The conceptual basis for Hubble’s Law in the Reciprocal System has been discussed by Mr. Larson in a number of his works. This paper will present some additional mathematical details.

Hubble’s Law is commonly written as

Kip Thorne introduces his article on black holes in Scientific American by stating:

To recipients of the review article QUASARS-THREE YEARS LATER:

Letter to the Editor of Reciprocity:

(Promotion for Quasars & Pulsars)

But as a scientist, or a philosopher, you are vitally concerned with the foundations of science, and the task of providing an explanation of the quasars is the great test that the basic laws and theories of physical science are today being called upon to meet: a test in which they are failing badly. Indeed, they are so helpless in the face of this challenge that prominent astronomers are finding it necessary to call for a “radical revision” of existing ideas. Under these circumstances it is highly significant that there is an available system of physical theory that can meet this crucial test; one which can furnish a comprehensive and consistent explanation of the quasars and associated phenomena—galactic explosions, pulsars, white dwarf stars, the recession of the galaxies, and so on.
