Obtaining and Proving an Uncompensated Momentum for a Closed Mechanical System Device Consisting of Two Hulls: A Theoretical Overview

Authors: Lozko Georgiev, Daniel Georgiev
Comments: 8 Pages. In Bulgarian; 5 figures

This article examines a closed mechanical system consisting of two hulls. Using this system, we can obtain an uncompensated momentum for one of the hulls in the closed system by employing the design described below and performing the required processes in sequence. It should be noted that, according to the laws of classical mechanics, Newton in "The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy" discusses the law of conservation of the center of mass’s motion, but only for classical bodies. The device under consideration, however, consists of two hulls, each with different properties. In this case, to simplify this brief theoretical discussion, we have omitted some of the processes. This is because obtaining a single uncompensated momentum for one of the hulls in the closed system is sufficient to demonstrate the device’s functionality.

The Refractive Plenum Gradient: Replacing the Spacetime Metric with Field Refraction

Authors: Carl Max Reed
Comments: 3 Pages. (Note by viXra Admin: Please cite listed scientific reference and submit article written with AI assistance to ai.viXra.org)

Within the strict, three-dimensional constraints of the Electromagnetic Energy Onlyverse (EMEO), physical paths of translation are entirely liberated from the abstract geometric constraints of a curved spacetime metric. Utilizing Robert Dicke's 1957 polarizable medium framework, space is recognized as nothing other than the electromagnetic field itself extending outward, while the localized velocity of light is governed entirely by the variable permittivity (ε) and permeability (µ) of this continuous field substrate. This paper demonstrates that a concentrated, self-sustaining toroidal soliton node modifies the local electromagnetic density of the surrounding continuous plenum, naturally generating a structural refractive index gradient (n = √εµ/ε0µ0). When an independent electromagnetic wavefront passes through this high-density region, its velocity drops non-linearly, forcing the wavefront to refract and steer symmetrically inward toward the density of the field concentration. Field Refraction and orbital trajectories emerge natively as a pure optical steering phenomenon within a material medium, completely eliminating the necessity for a curved geometric fabric or abstract quantum graviton exchanges.

The Mystery of the Gravitational Constant G: The Greatest Metrological Impasse in History, or Evidence That Gravity Is More Complex Than Newton Thought?

Authors: Mykola Kosinov
Comments: 17 Pages.

The "Big G" problem remains an unsolved mystery in modern metrology and physics. Scientists have yet to obtain a precise value for the gravitational constant. Various laboratories use impeccable equipment that achieves record-breaking measurement accuracy, yet their results consistently diverge beyond the permissible error margins. It is shown here that the problem of the gravitational constant G is directly related to the incompleteness of the Newtonian model of gravity. The gravitational constant G refers to the gravity of the entire universe—this is its fundamental meaning. However, "Big G" is calculated from Newton's law of gravity, which does not take into account the gravity of the universe. Using the local law of two-body gravity F = GmM/r^2 without taking into account the gravity of the enormous mass of the universe leads to an error. To eliminate this error, it is proposed to use the law of gravity FU = GmM/r^2 + (mc^2)√Ʌ, which takes into account the gravity of the universe. It has been shown that the discrepancy between the values of G lies in the fact that the second component of the gravitational force, (mc^2)√Ʌ, is not taken into account when calculating it. This leads to a shift in the values of G by varying amounts, depending on the contribution of the second component, (mc^2)√Ʌ. The measured value of the constant G depends not only on technical limitations but also on how adequately the physical law from which it is calculated describes gravity.

Mostly-Destructive Consequences of Non and Nowhere-Analyticity of the Spacetime Metric; and New "2-Sided Mirror Paradigm" Hypothetical Grandiose Universe Picture

Authors: Warren D. Smith
Comments: 39 Pages.

We explore consequences of my previous discovery (vixra.org/abs/2605.0004 Smith 2025) that Einstein general relativity vacuum solutions are not necessarily real-analytic, and indeed can be (hence presumably generically are, since the analytically-smooth spacetime metrics form an infinitesimally tiny subset of the much wider class of permitted functions) nowhere-analytic. These consequences are hugely destructive for many former physics ideas that implicitly or explicitly assumed analyticity – such as "ER=EPR," "AdS/CFT," or "maximal analytic extensions" – and I will duly obliterate them! A Monte Carlo estimate is that 1-20 thousand general-relativity papers are invalidated. However, in an unexpected brief creative interlude during that apocalyptic demolition, I invented the promising new "mirror paradigm," which might be crazy, but if valid offers a simple nice way to resolve most or all famous "paradoxes" associated with black holes, and also provides a whole new mental picture of the entire universe. Amazingly, I found out soon after posting v1 that almost exactly the same idea (under the name "black mirror") was invented independently 1.5 years before by Tzanavaris, Boyle, and Turok (TBT) although mostly for different reasons. At the end I attempt to reconcile all Smith-versus-TBT discrepancies while showing all apparent obstacles to this picture are only apparent, to produce a mirroring hypothesis we hopefully all can agree is the right proposal and makes sense. I also, surprisingly, make new observations even about the hugely-studied Schwarzschild/Kruskal black hole, including proposing arguably-local metrical tests for event-horizons (a feat often claimed impossible by prior authors).

Reasons the Photon Mass Should be Exactly Zero

Authors: Warren D. Smith
Comments: 5 Pages.

We argue from general relativity that if photons had mass, then charged black holes could not exist. But there is evidence they do exist. Also, big violations of Maxwell's laws would occur, even in regions far from black holes. This is the first evidence that photons really have zero, as opposed to just very small, mass. We also point out that the presence of extragalactic magnetic fields suggests |mγ|⪅10-64kg. Two independent lines of argument, one based on extragalactic magnetic fields and very conservative bounds on current densities, the other based on Voyager spaceprobe magnetometer measurements,both find |mγ|⪅1.7×10-56kg. These numbers are respectively 1010 and 60 times stronger than the best previous experimental bound. Finally, we consider the fact that massless quantum fields have additional symmetries. While it is tempting to try to use that as further justification for masslessness, it ultimately seems wrong.
