    The Modification and Extension of the Equivalence Principle

    In this article, the strong equivalence principle is analyzed by the gravitational mechanism of etheric pressure, and the conclusion is drawn that an object at rest in a uniform gravitational field of a certain strength is equivalent to moving in a straight line in a uniform etheric space with a certain speed (not a certain acceleration). According to this gravitational mechanism, gravitational field is a scalar (energy) field, and gravity is caused by the asymmetric density distribution of space energy, resulting in the asymmetric etheric pressure on the object at rest in space. The experimental fact of equivalence between gravity fields and velocity (rather than acceleration) in terms of time dilation has proven the equivalence between uniform gravity fields and inertial systems with uniform motion. It further deduces that gravity fields are equivalent to velocity in terms of the increase in the inertial mass effect of objects, and gravity fields are equivalent to velocity in terms of the contraction effect of the electron orbit radius of atoms. The Ether (energy) field with a gradient of field strength generated by a fluid whose flow velocity decreases perpendicular to its motion is equivalent to the gravitational field with a gradient of field strength. Using these modified and extended equivalence principles, the author explains Newton's bucket experiment, the Casimir effect, and explains what reference system the flow rate of fluid in Bernoulli equation is relative to, and why the higher the flow rate is relative to the reference system, the lower the pressure.

      Review text

      Prof. Wang's paper on the modification and extension of the equivalence principle is a highly commendable and innovative work. It presents a thought-provoking argument challenging the traditional view of the strong equivalence principle. The introduction of etheric pressure to explain gravitational phenomena is a unique approach that revitalizes historical concepts in modern physics. The paper's potential to open new avenues in understanding gravitational fields and its effects on objects is noteworthy. This work is a significant contribution to the field and is deserving of serious consideration and further exploration in the scientific community.

      The paper discusses the increase in mass of objects in a gravitational field and provides a calculation formula. It suggests that the increase in speed of an object relative to ether leads to an increase in its inertial mass, and similarly, the increase in the strength of the gravitational field where the object is located also leads to an increase in its inertial mass. The paper's explanation is based on the idea of etheric pressure and its effect on the inertial properties of objects in gravitational fields.  It would be beneficial for Prof. Wang to consider and discuss the findings of similar studies, such as the one mentioned in the link:https://www.scienceopen.com/hosted-document?doi=10.14293/S2199-1006.1.SOR-.PPHKL3X.v1. This can provide a broader context and strengthen the arguments presented in the paper.
