Reality Theory requires that we deal with reality rather than scientific facts, notions that by agreement have been accepted as fact.

The best example of notions that are used as facts to create additional concepts is the concept that the attractive force, gravity, is a product of “mass.”

Mass is an untenable concept created to explain why the Newtonian hypothesis dealing with the attractive force, which failed by a small margin when applied to the moon, missed by wide margins when applied to everything else.

Newton’s original hypothesis of gravity required planets to be uniformly composed of units of matter with each unit of matter causing a unit of gravity. The only way he could prove that gravity was affecting the motion of the moon was to quantify it by these units in the volume of the earth and the moon.

While this hypothesis came close with respect to the moon, it missed by a wide margin everywhere else. Planets like Jupiter had too little matter. If theory disagrees with what our eyes tell us, deductive science, based on theoretical facts, believes theory. Thus, Jupiter is not made out of the same stuff the earth and moon are made out of, it is made out of lighter stuff, gas.

Instead of using Newton’s hypothesis to predict the movement of the planets, deductive science uses the movement of the planets to compute their mass, what’s inside them, something that is nonverifiable and thus can never be disproven.

Reality Theory requires that our conclusions about reality be based on fact, not deductive conclusions.

Thus, with respect to gravity, we have to look at the contextual facts, the arena of physical reality in which gravity operates.

We know 3 things about gravity, and 3 things only.

-We know that gravity is universal, the most prevalent force in our lives and in the universe.
-We know that gravity has a source.
-We know that it diminishes inversely with the distance from that source (because objects falling free of resistance accelerate in that manner).

Note that gravity as a property of the matter that is the source of the gravity is not one of the things we know about gravity. It is the theoretical conclusion, the concept deductive science uses to analyze all other aspects of reality.

We want to look at reality and have reality tell us something about the source of the gravity so that we can then physically analyze the nature of gravity and use it to our benefit.

We know gravity is prevalent, centered in a source and diminishes inversely with the square of the distance from the source.

Is there something else in reality that meets these three criteria? If there is, then we can assume that, because there are not too many universal phenomena in the universe, there must be something about the one that produces the other.

What else meets these three criteria, carries the same footprint?

Combustion is as prevalent as gravity. All matter is undergoing combustion to one degree or another. The sun is burning, the earth is cooling, almost everything but the erratic asteroids are hot too some degree and are therefore undergoing the cooling process. Life would not exist without combustion!

So combustion meets one of the criteria.

The second criteria, being sourced, is also met. Combustion, by definition, has to be sourced in matter.

And the third criteria, the inverse square measurement?

Matter undergoing combustion emits a range of electromagnetic frequencies that include light. Using light as a measurable phenomena, light is measured to diminish inversely with the square of the distance from its source.

Thus, the combustion of matter has the same physical footprint as gravity. Instead of gravity being a static property of matter, it could be the result of matter doing something dynamic, cooling.

Another example of Reality Theory in operation is analyzing the motion of the planets. Deductive science claims that planets do not move by current force, but rather their movement is a product of historical forces, or in the alternative, the curvature of space (the bending of nothing).

We are again faced with a deductive science that tells us our senses, which know that objects do not move without force, are wrong, that the planets are the exception, that they move, but they don’t need a current force to do so.

Reality Theory requires that we live up to our obligation as rational beings to use our minds to come up with explanations for the phenomena that are a daily part of our lives. Reality Theory demands rational explanations for all movement in reality, and in addition, for light, electricity, radiation, magnetism, even tornadoes and a thousand other explained away realities.

And it demands that those explanations be consistent with one another!

If we don’t know the physical reality of which we are a part, we will never know ourselves. If we don’t know ourselves, we risk passing into history ignorant of our universe and our universe forever ignorant of us. We will be the life form that developed on this particular planet and we will have passed having no effect on the universe at all.
