The Universal
Properties of Acceleration

Published Sept 17, 2008
What Causes Gravity
Author Barry Lebost proposes a new law in physics that would replace Einstein's principle of
equivalence with The Universal Properties of Acceleration. Einstein was convinced that gravity was inertia but could not prove that they were exactly the same for if gravity was exactly inertia then the ground would have to be moving up like the floor of a spacecraft. So he backed off of exactness and proposed equivalence instead as he was sure this was the only way to explain the curvature of space time. Lebost
claims that gravity is exactly inertia created by the inflation of an expanding,
accelerating universe according to a system that incorporates dual
reference frame accelerated motion. The system cannot be directly
viewed because of observer invariance.
(Book review below). The UP of A states that space time is automatically curved by the inflation of particle matter.
The book lays out a progression of logical steps to demonstrate to readers how gravity is merely normal inertia created by an accelerating mass. The book focuses on how the properties of accelerating bodies in space are universal which directly point to the exactness of inertia. What has lead observers to continuously come to the wrong conclusion about gravity is that we are all integral members of two invisible accelerating frames; when you are part of the motion you cannot see the motion. Accelerated motion is invisible when observers are integral members of an accelerating frame and there is no other outside frame for comparison.

“Einstein’s instincts as well as his
mathematics told him that gravity was caused by inertia,” the author
writes. “But the concept of the earth’s surface accelerating outward into
space seemed absurd. What if Einstein, Newton, et al., were physically
prevented from observing the acceleration of the surfaces of planets and
stars? Could this be possible?”
In The Universal Properties of
Acceleration, after discussing the history of thought about gravity,
acceleration, and inertia, Barry Lebost leads readers through a logical
progression by means of thought experiments to see how gravity is the inertial
effect of inflation’s acceleration. Lebost is an inventor who has worked
with fluid dynamics; he also invented a wind turbine that generates heat
directly from wind power and a jungle mosquito trap which may
significantly reduce the spread of malaria.
Regarding physics, Lebost’s ideas stand
tradition on its head. He believes that Newton’s separation of gravity from
inertia provided a precedent that has continued until today, blinding
scientists to reality and preventing the correct understanding of physical
properties. Einstein came close to putting gravity and inertia back
together, recognizing the mathematical implications and apparent
similarity, but couldn’t logically reconcile the two completely. He
developed the principle of equivalence so that he could proceed
mathematically; this resulted in a curved space-time. Under Lebost’s
theory, that curvature is only apparent as an illusion created by the
expansion of inflation. Expansion also is the cause of the inertial
experience we call gravity.
Furthermore, Lebost’s theory apparently
requires an open system with massive amounts of energy input. The
inflation of the big bang did not stop, but continues today in every
atom. It is the driving force that shapes the phenomena we see at work in
the universe, from black holes to the earth’s weather, plate tectonics,
and why your eyes are on the front of your head instead of on top. The
author writes, “Without a doubt, if it weren’t for the force of gravity,
life forms would look quite different. Both the magnitude and the
direction of force play roles in the design of physical anatomical
structure.”
Lebost’s theory of Accelerated Concentric
Radial Expansion (ACRE) challenges the status quo in physics theory, but
the logic is thorough and convincing. If the big bang theory is correct,
if inflation is true, this is a major step toward a unifying theory. Some
parts of the book are a bit repetitive, and some of the digital
illustrations have been enlarged to the point of fuzziness. Still, anyone
interested in understanding physics should give this book a long, hard
look.
