Deflexion of Light in the Gravitational Field of the Sun

Abstract

ACCORDING to the whirl theory of light and matter¹, the whole physical world is the manifestation of Maxwell's electromagnetic waves. The fundamental particles of matter, and the photons, are represented by integral solutions of Maxwell's equations in vacuo, in cylindrical co-ordinates. For the former the integral is taken from a very low limit of the variable parameter of the integrant solution to infinity, while in the latter the interval of integration is much smaller. The forces are determined from the standard equations of classical dynamics as the derivatives of the exchange integrals of electromagnetic fields of interacting entities with respect to parameters defining their mutual position. The necessary condition of physical validity of these forces is the synchronism between the fundamental frequencies of the entities or their sub-harmonics. In the case of gravitation the sub-harmonics are due to the ‘micro-precessions’ of the entities, of about 8.3 × 10⁻⁷ sec.⁻¹, caused by their inherent eccentricity of about 10⁻¹⁰ h/mc. In this very slow motion the wave-length of de Broglie's waves (which are inherent in these solutions of Maxwell's equations) is about 10¹² cm. They are called the ‘macrowaves’ The macrowaves produce the mutual synchronization of micro-precessions. The resultant macrowaves of thus synchronized particles constituting large axially symmetrical bodies, such as the Sun or the planets, form co-axially revolving wave systems with radial standing waves. The orbits of planets are situated in the troughs of the latter.
