DESCARTES_ VACUUM IN HOLE GRAVITATION THEORY

AUTHOR(S) INFORMATION: Leshan C.

ABSTRACT

Intuitively, a vacuum is what is left when all matter (invisible as well as visible) is removed from a region. In this paper it is shown that depending on the speed we remove the matter, we can obtain a Torricelli' vacuum or a Descartes' absolute vacuum (a hole in space-time). The advantage of the Descartes' vacuum is that it can easily explain the gravitational attraction and the curvature of space-time using the properties of holes only. According to the theory, matter radiates a flux of holes, which curve space-time and this curvature influences the movement of matter. The hole version of universal gravitation law has been formulated. Mass is the parameter describing the ability of a particle to emit out holes, the more holes particle emits, the more the mass.
