Electrical and magnetic fields are cancelled by their opposites but gravity has no opposite, so nothing physical can stop it. If gravitons caused gravity, anti-gravitons could block them but no evidence supports this, and if gluons held the nucleus together, an anti-gluon stream could break it apart, but again it doesn’t happen, although anti-gluons are said to exist.
In this model, no physical barrier can block the spread of gravity because the quantum network passes its processing on before any physical events occur, so gravity is unstoppable because it isn’t based on physical events. Matter then superposes its existence on the space around it in a way that no anti-gravity shield can block.
Relativity states that objects fall to earth not by being pulled but because their space changes. Free-falling parachutists then feel no force acting on them, as if they are stationary, but what accelerates them towards the earth if nothing pulls them? Einstein attributed this to the earth altering space and time but these are incidental effects in this model. The quantum field of the earth both accelerates them and changes their space and time.
Einstein’s field equation describes the gravity of the earth as curving the space-time around it, to make matter naturally move towards it (Figure 5.9). That gravity is a field gradient around the earth predicts the same, but attributes both the object’s movement and space-time changes to the quantum field.
Gravity then accelerates matter because as it moves closer to the earth, the quantum field around it increases, as Gauss’s law predicts.
