Abstract

This section explores the conceptual integration of gravitational radiation and dark sector phenomena within the framework of Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM). ECM extends Newtonian principles by introducing dynamic mass concepts, such as displaced mass and apparent mass, while strictly preserving dimensional consistency. Gravitational radiation is reinterpreted not as the curvature of spacetime but as a consequence of real mass-energy displacement within energetic systems. Similarly, ECM provides alternative explanations for dark matter and dark energy, modelling them as emergent effects of gravitational mass redistribution rather than as independent fields or exotic particles. The framework also offers reinterpretations of relativistic phenomena, such as gravitational lensing and time dilation, through the lens of internal energy restructuring. By offering a consistent, matter-based alternative to both relativistic gravity and particle-based cosmology, ECM has the potential to unify gravitational and antigravitational interactions under a common mechanical paradigm.

Introduction

Reconciling gravitational radiation, dark sector effects, and ECM principles involves integrating Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) with established cosmological models and observations of dark matter and dark energy. ECM, which extends Newtonian mechanics to incorporate dynamic mass components and reinterprets relativistic behaviour, can offer a framework for understanding these phenomena. 

Gravitational Radiation and ECM:

·         ECM can offer a reinterpretation of gravitational radiation, viewing it not as a field interaction, but as a consequence of mass displacement and energy shifts within a system.

·         ECM's focus on potential energy as a central regulatory mechanism in mass systems can be applied to understanding how energy is transferred and radiated during gravitational events.

·         ECM's strict adherence to dimensional consistency in mass and radiation expressions is crucial for ensuring a self-consistent framework. 

Dark Sector Effects and ECM:

·         ECM can provide a framework for understanding dark matter and dark energy, viewing them as emergent gravitational phenomena rather than exotic particles or fields. 

·         ECM's introduction of dynamic mass components, including negative apparent mass and effective mass can help model the gravitational and inertial interactions of dark matter and dark energy. 

·         ECM's reinterpretation of relativistic behaviour, particularly time dilation and gravitational lensing, can offer alternative explanations for cosmological observations involving dark energy and the expansion of the universe. 

·         ECM can potentially offer a unified treatment of gravitational and antigravitational interactions, aligning with cosmological observations of dark energy and cosmic expansion.
