Gravitational Redshift as a Measure of Rapid Mass Increase

| description | We begin by reviewing the special relativistic properties of a rotating system of coordinates. These were considered by Einstein in the spinning disk thought experiment during his initial considerations of time and length changes in gravity. Using a novel extension of this approach, we identify a variation in an object’s internal energy within a gravitational field, through employing the equivalence principle. We then find an additional gravitational lensing and redshift prediction over and above current theory from the Schwarzschild metric. Implications for rapid clumping in the early universe and ultramassive blackhole formation are also considered. Correlations to recent James Webb findings are also discussed. Experiments to test this principle in the terrestrial domain are also proposed. |
