Le Sage Push-Gravitation Revisited With Modern Knowledge of The Cosmic Background Radiation

Abstract

Push-gravity is an alternative theory to General Relativity, which originates back to the time of Newton when scientists Fatio and later Le Sage proposed that gravity was due to an imbalance of continuous and uniform particle streams we cannot see. Today, we know that there exists such a uniform field. Not particles, but cosmic radiation. Thus, in this article, the imbalance push force due to cosmic radiation shielding between objects is derived using antenna theory, i.e. the Friis equation. The push force is tested as the source of gravitation arriving at a condition that v²r must be equal for the orbiting planets for the theory to hold, which is in accordance with Kepler´s third law, i.e. v²r =1.3*10¹¹ (km³/s) for all planets. Based on this result, the cosmic radiation push should be further investigated as the source of gravitation.
