Consideration of the Daily Variation of Gravity on the Manifestation of Gravitational Shielding

The result of mathematical and physical analysis of the daily change in gravity is presented. The subject of consideration was the manifestation of semi-daily factors in diurnal variations of gravity. The assumption is investigated, according to which the cause of the half-day factors is the gravitational shielding of the planet Earth. Gravitational shielding is considered as a function of the size and thickness of celestial bodies and growing with distance from their poles. It is concluded that the planet Earth has the property of partial gravitational shielding, and the Moon does not have enough thickness to exhibit a tangible gravitational shielding. The obtained mathematical results correspond to the existing experimental data. It is suggested that gravitational shielding is the cause of the precession of the perihelion of Mercury and the peculiarities of the manifestation of tidal processes. It is assumed that gravitational shielding is one of the main reasons for the presence of hidden substances in the Universe. It is concluded that the physical picture with mutual shielding of interaction elements corresponds to the classical ideas of Fatio and Lesage. This approach is proposed as an alternative point of view to the existing theory on the description of tidal processes. It is shown that the existing basic approach to the description of tidal forces is unsatisfactory: the factors underlying the existing approaches have values 10 times less than those observed and cannot be considered as the reason for the manifestation of half-day manifestations in the daily change in gravity. The work is a continuation of the implementation by the author of P. Dirac’s ideas about accounting for the size of microparticles in physical theory.

On The Gravitational Shielding, Gravitational Permeability and Hidden Matter

The possibility of gravitational shielding from more massive objects than the Moon-planet Earth and the giant planets of the Solar System is considered. Within the framework of the Lesage concept, the mutual spatial shielding of mass-forming elements-atomic nuclei in ordinary matter-was evaluated. It is concluded that the size of the Moon is insufficient for tangible gravitational shielding and partial mutual shielding is about 50% for planet Earth. It is determined that there is a critical thickness of ordinary matter at which complete mutual shielding of atomic nuclei is observed. The estimated critical thickness is about dc=1.3 X 108m, which is typical for the sizes of giant planets. It is concluded that due to the presence of gravitational shielding, not the entire mass of massive celestial bodies participates in the act of gravitational interaction, which leads to the conclusion that there is a hidden mass of massive objects and to low values in the calculation of the density of the giant planets of the Solar System. It has been established that the true mass and true density of giant planets exceed their known values by 5 times. The presence of gravitational shielding from the planet Earth leads to a revision of the physical picture of nature and the consequences of tidal forces. The idea of P. Dirac concerning the accounting of the sizes of microparticles-nucleons, expressed for the further development of the physical theory, is realized. The gravitational size of the atomic nucleus is calculated on the order of 10-18 m.
