Abstract

Previously, merely based on the law of energy conservation, we have demonstrated that, the gravitational motion depicts a “rest mass variation”, throughout. The same applies to a motion driven by electrical charges; this constituted the topic of the preceding article (Part I of this work). One way to conceive the rest mass variation phenomenon in question is to consider a “jet effect”. Accordingly, an object moving with the velocity v₀ on a given orbit, must eject mass to accelerate, or must pile up mass, to decelerate, through its journey. The speed U to be associated with the jet (which we will in short call “jet speed”), strikingly points to the de Broglie wavelength.  This makes that, the jet speed U becomes a superluminal speed,  ; is the speed of light in empty space.  As seen, U is made of the product of the speed, which is the luminal speed of the ejected rest mass, by the coefficient , the Lorentz coefficient coming into play based on the luminal speed V. The thing is that, the superluminal speed U eventually works as a whole and holds, even if there is no rest mass variation, such as the case of an object moving on a circular orbit; thus U appears to be an interactional velocity, yet based on no energy exchange. This result is important in many ways. Amongst other things, it means that, both gravitationally interacting macroscopic bodies, and electrically interacting microscopic objects, in fact any objects interacting with each other in any given way, such as for instance, an object plugged in a “centrifugal field” created by the rotation of another, sense each other, with a speed much greater than that of light, and in exactly the same way. We have to emphasize that, the interaction coming into play, excludes any energy exchange; for this reason, we would like to call it, “wave-like interaction”. This implies that interactions without energy exchange can take place at speeds faster than light. Interestingly, the approach proposed here, constitutes not only the essence of quantum mechanics, but also, it induces immediately that both the “gravitational field” and the “electric field”, in fact any field, such as a centrifugal field, are quantized in exactly the same manner.
