Mᴏʀᴅ (Ordinary/Baryonic Matter):  This is the mass of protons, neutrons, and electrons.  It's the "normal" matter we're familiar with.

Mᴅᴍ (Dark Matter): This is non-luminous matter that interacts gravitationally but not through electromagnetic forces.  It's included in the total matter mass.

Mᴍ (Total Matter Mass): Mᴍ = Mᴏʀᴅ + Mᴅᴍ.  This is the total mass of ordinary and dark matter within a system.

Mᴅᴇ (Dark Energy Effective Mass): This represents the effective mass contribution from dark energy.  It's important to note that this is not dark energy itself, but its effect on mass.

Mᵃᵖᵖ (Apparent Mass): This is a dynamic, non-physical quantity that reflects observed mass variations due to external forces. It can be negative.

Mᵉᶠᶠ (Effective Mass): Mᵉᶠᶠ = Mᴍ − Mᵃᵖᵖ = Mᴍ + Mᴅᴇ. This is the mass that governs gravitational interactions in ECM.

Mɢ (Gravitating Mass): Mɢ = Mᵉᶠᶠ. This is the mass that appears in the gravitational force equation in ECM.

Key Points and Clarifications:

Mᴅᴇ vs. Dark Energy: Mᴅᴇ is the effective mass contribution from dark energy, not dark energy itself. This distinction is crucial.

Apparent Mass as a Dynamic Term: Mᵃᵖᵖ is a dynamic and non-physical term. It reflects the observed mass variations, not a change in the actual physical mass.

Kinetic Energy in ECM: The equation (1/2) Mᴏʀᴅ⋅v² + (1/2)Mᴅᴍ⋅v² = −Mᵃᵖᵖ shows how the kinetic energy of ordinary and dark matter is related to the apparent mass.

The Physical basis for associating a separate mass term with dark energy in the Kinetic energy equation.

Classical Mechanics Interpretation of Inertial Mass (m):

• In classical mechanics, inertial mass (m) is strictly associated with physical mass (Mᴏʀᴅ), which represents baryonic matter.

• The kinetic energy (KE) equation in classical mechanics assumes that the mass term corresponds directly to inertial mass, reinforcing the idea that energy is fundamentally linked to the motion of physically present mass.

• The total energy in classical mechanics is given by: Eₜₒₜₐₗ = PE + KE where PE is associated with mass m, but the interpretation of the mass term in KE remains under scrutiny in ECM.

Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM) Interpretation of Various Masses:

• ECM introduces effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠ) as a key factor, incorporating both physical matter and apparent mass effects: Mᵉᶠᶠ = Mᴍ+ (−Mᵃᵖᵖ) where:

• Matter mass (Mᴍ) = Mᴏʀᴅ + Mᴅᴍ (includes baryonic matter and dark matter)

• Apparent mass (Mᵃᵖᵖ) is a dynamic quantity that can take negative values based on external influences.

• The force equations in ECM are modified accordingly: F = Mᵉᶠᶠ·aᵉᶠᶠ = (Mᴍ −Mᵃᵖᵖ)·aᵉᶠᶠ and F𝑔 = G·Mᵉᶠᶠ·mₘ/r² = G·Mɢ·mₘ/r², where Mɢ = Mᵉᶠᶠ represents the gravitating mass in ECM.

Galactic Cluster Interpretation of Matter Mass:

• Effective mass of dark energy (Mᴅᴇ) arises from gravitational interactions at intergalactic scales, distinct from dark matter.

• Matter mass within a galactic cluster follows: Mᴍ = Mᴏʀᴅ + Mᴅᴍ

• Observationally, the total gravitating mass in a galactic cluster is found to be: 

Mɢ = Mᴍ + Mᴅᴇ

Clarifying the Physical Interpretation of Apparent Mass (Mᵃᵖᵖ):

• Apparent mass (Mᵃᵖᵖ) is a non-physical, dynamic term reflecting mass variations due to external forces.

• When effective mass has a significant negative component, the observed mass can appear reduced, resulting in negative apparent mass (Mᵃᵖᵖ < 0).

• This effect is particularly noticeable under extreme conditions, such as high velocities or strong gravitational fields.

The Physical Interpretation of the KE Equation in ECM:

• The ECM kinetic energy equation modifies the classical form by incorporating Mᴏʀᴅ and Mᴅᴍ explicitly: (1/2) Mᴏʀᴅ⋅v² + (1/2) Mᴅᴍ⋅v² = −Mᵃᵖᵖ

• Here, −Mᵃᵖᵖ has no direct physicality, but its presence affects the system's overall energy dynamics.

Conclusion:

ECM expands upon classical mechanics by refining mass-energy relationships, introducing apparent mass (Mᵃᵖᵖ) and effective mass (Mᵉᶠᶠ) to explain observed gravitational phenomena. The inclusion of a separate mass term for dark energy (Mᴅᴇ) is justified through its interaction with inertial mass at intergalactic scales, aligning with gravitational observations. While ECM's KE equation diverges from classical interpretations, it maintains mathematical consistency and observational validity.

The Primacy of Logic, Unbiased Scrutiny, and Mathematical Consistency in Science

Science should always be about logical reasoning, unbiased scrutiny, and natural justice in the pursuit of truth. Critical thinking and mathematical consistency must take precedence over dogmatic adherence to established theories.

Extended Classical Mechanics vs. Relativity: A Superior Framework:

The concept of negative apparent mass in extended classical mechanics is a groundbreaking innovation. It marks a turning point in classical mechanics, introducing negative mass and expanding its capabilities beyond traditional frameworks. This extension enhances classical mechanics, making it more powerful than relativistic mechanics.

Furthermore, velocity-induced relativistic Lorentz's transformations are flawed because they neglect classical acceleration between the rest and moving frames. They also overlook material stiffness in calculations, relying solely on the speed of light as the defining dynamic factor. For these reasons, extended classical mechanics stands as a far superior framework compared to the flawed foundations of relativistic mechanics.

Effective Mass and Acceleration Implications of Negative Apparent Mass in Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM):

Newton's Second Law and Acceleration:

In classical mechanics, Newton's second law is typically expressed as: 

F = ma

This shows that force (F) is directly proportional to acceleration (a) and mass (m).

As force F increases, acceleration a increases proportionally. However, the relationship a ∝ 1/m means that if mass m increases, acceleration a will decrease, assuming force is constant.

In this framework, if acceleration increases while force increases, it suggests that mass must decrease to maintain the inverse relationship between acceleration and mass.

Apparent Mass and Effective Mass in ECM:

In Extended Classical Mechanics (ECM), this relationship is reflected in the equation:

F = (Mᴍ − Mᵃᵖᵖ) aᵉᶠᶠ

The term (Mᴍ − Mᵃᵖᵖ) implies that the effective mass is the difference between matter mass and apparent mass, which is a dynamic concept.

Apparent mass reduction: 

If the apparent mass Mᵃᵖᵖ decreases (or becomes negative), this results in an increase in effective mass, which in turn causes an increase in acceleration a when the force F remains constant.

Thus, in ECM, a reduction in apparent mass leads to a corresponding increase in acceleration, aligning with the inverse relationship a ∝ 1/m, where m is the effective mass. This supports the idea that acceleration can increase without an actual increase in matter mass Mᴍ but rather a reduction in apparent mass Mᵃᵖᵖ.

Supporting Observational Findings:

The expression Mᵉᶠᶠ = Mᴍ + Mᴅᴇ, where Mᴅᴇ is negative, aligns with this reasoning. If the apparent mass Mᵃᵖᵖ (which could be represented Mᴅᴇ in this framework) is negative, the effective mass becomes:

Mᵉᶠᶠ = Mᴍ + (−Mᵃᵖᵖ)

This negative apparent mass Mᵃᵖᵖ or, effective mass of dark energy (Mᴅᴇ), reduces the total effective mass, causing an increase in acceleration when force is applied, consistent with the relationship a ∝1/m.

Conclusion:

In this framework, the concept of effective mass Mᵉᶠᶠ is key to understanding how acceleration behaves when apparent mass changes. When apparent mass decreases (or becomes negative), the effective mass also decreases, leading to an increase in acceleration. This theory not only aligns with the classical force-acceleration-mass relationship but also supports observational findings, particularly the role of negative apparent mass in cosmological models or exotic gravitational effects.
