Introduction:
In the vast landscape of modern physics, the concepts of
relativistic mass, mass transformation in special relativity and Lorentz’s mass
transformation stand as pillars of understanding within the realm of
relativistic dynamics. Our collection of three articles embarks on a
comprehensive exploration, aiming to introduce the concept of effective mass as
a counterpart to relativistic mass, particularly in the context of mass
transformation in special relativity and Lorentz’s equations.

The realm of special relativity has revolutionized our understanding of the fundamental interplay between mass and energy. Central to this paradigm is the concept of relativistic mass (m′), a dynamic quantity that unveils itself as an equivalent to an effective mass (mᵉᶠᶠ). In this exploration, we embark on a journey to elucidate the intricate relationship between m′ and energy within the framework of special relativity.

Clarifying the dynamics of gravitational field and gravitational wave propagation:
09 February 2024
Dear Mr Tom Hollings,
Your point about the apparent contradiction in the statement about the constancy of the volume of the gravitational field relative to the source seems valid at first glance, but upon closer examination it may not.
The confusion probably stems from a misunderstanding of the concept of 'gravitational field expansion at the speed of light'.
In the context of gravitational waves, it is crucial to distinguish between 'expansion of the gravitational field' and 'propagation of gravitational waves through space'.
Gravitational waves actually propagate outward from their source at the speed of light, carrying energy from the system. These waves are energy-carrying vibrations, like photons, and travel at the speed of light.
However, the expansion of the gravitational field in the traditional sense is not essential for this propagation.
The 'gravitational field volume' surrounding a massive object must be constant relative to that object.
This means that the gravitational effect exerted by the massive body extends indefinitely into space, but the boundaries of the field, perceived from the point of view of the source, remain unchanged in time.
Additional points:
(i) Observational studies indicate that gravity and anti-gravity, driven by dark energy, engage in a constant struggle, with anti-gravity prevailing due to the greater effective mass of dark energy than gravity. As a result, anti-gravity forces prevail in the universe.
(ii) Additionally, it has been observed that there are zero gravity regions around distant galaxies, marking the boundary where the gravitational effect ends and dark energy begins. This indicates that the limit of gravity is not infinite but finite; Where gravity exists, dark energy does not exist, and vice versa.
(iii) Furthermore, dark energy may exist at least in intergalactic space, but the gravitational effect ceases at the boundary of the zero-gravity region surrounding a galaxy. Therefore, the space 'within' gravitationally bound galaxies remains unchanged.
(iv) In general, galaxies are moving away from each other, except for gravitationally bound galaxies or galaxy clusters.
However, this condition is not permanent; In the distant future, gravitationally bound galaxies or galaxy clusters will yield to the effects of dark energy, causing the connections between galaxies to weaken and eventually break up.
Gravitational waves:
Gravitational waves, on the other hand, represent disturbances propagating within space caused by the acceleration or deformation of massive objects. These waves propagate outward through space, carrying with them information about gravitational disturbances. Although gravitational waves do indeed travel at the speed of light, their propagation does not necessarily imply a continuous propagation of the gravitational field.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the constancy of the volume of the gravitational field relative to the source is valid, even in the presence of gravitational wave propagation. The expansion of the gravitational field at the speed of light specifically refers to the propagation of gravitational waves, rather than a continuous expansion of the field.

Understanding Photon Interactions: Source Gravitational Wells vs. External Fields

This additional description provided here enhances the paper titled, 'Distinguishing Photon Interactions: Source Well vs. External Fields' by providing a more detailed explanation of the principles discussed. It expands upon the concepts of energy expenditure, gravitational redshift, and momentum exchange in a clear and concise manner. Additionally, the inclusion of mathematical formulations further strengthens the paper by providing quantitative insights into the phenomena under investigation.
This study delves into the intricate interactions of photons within gravitational fields, discerning between encounters with source gravitational wells and external gravitational fields. When photons escape source gravitational wells, such as those of stars or black holes, they expend energy, leading to gravitational redshift. Conversely, when traversing external gravitational fields, photons maintain their inherent energy while experiencing bending paths due to momentum exchange. Through mathematical formulations, we elucidate these principles, offering insights into astrophysical dynamics and gravitational physics.
When a photon or wave escapes a gravitational well, such as the gravitational field of a massive object like a star or a black hole, it expends energy in the process. This energy expenditure, resulting from a change in energy ΔE, follows the Planck equation:
- ΔE = hΔf
It's crucial to note that:
a. This alteration in photon frequency (Δf) corresponds to a change in photon wavelength (1/Δλ), leading to a redshift of the photon wavelength.
b. The change in photon wavelength (1/Δλ) is directly proportional to the photon's distance from its source gravitational well. This distance remains constant throughout the photon's journey, even when traversing through the gravitational field of external massive bodies like planets or galaxies. However, instead of experiencing energy variations in strong gravitational fields, the photons maintain their inherent energy (E = Eg) through the equation (Eg = E + ΔE = E − ΔE), while undergoing gravitational redshift due to (ΔE = hΔf).
c. In addition to undergoing gravitational redshift, photons also experience redshift due to cosmic expansion, but this occurs only when they enter dark energy-dominated intergalactic space.
Through these mathematical formulations, we elucidate the principles governing photon interactions in source gravitational wells versus external gravitational fields, thereby enhancing our understanding of gravitational physics in astrophysical contexts.
