The problem of gravitational waves has been completely solved

Mechanism-Revealed Physics (39/40) ----- by Bingcheng Zhao

Solving the problem of gravitational waves by proving that the assumed gravitational waves do not exist at all. At present, the detection of gravitational waves is widely admitted as one of the greatest experimental challenges in physics, being clearly demonstrated in highly authoritative references (e.g., the encyclopedia of physics, and “the greatest unsolved problems in physics”, etc., P. 918 ~ 947, Appendix, reference #2). [*A few acronyms: OEPIEP law = the law of Orbiting Electron Periodic Impulse Emitting Photons, OMDW law = the law of object’s mass doing work, EPBGR = Einstein’s postulate-based general relativity].

How to solve the problem of gravitational waves? The problem has been completely solved by proving that the assumed gravitational waves do not exist at all, because there is utterly no mechanism generating the so-called gravitational waves at all (P. 881, 9.6.2 a), Ch.9B, reference #2). Most of all, based on the newly discovered and verified OMDW law (P. 93 ~ 109, Ch.1A, reference #1), an accelerated mass, due to its being doing positive work, releases energy from and by consuming the mass, rather than radiates energy in the manner of gravitational waves. In other words, an accelerated mass does not and cannot generate gravitational waves at all. Therefore, the gravitational waves assumed in EPBGR do not and cannot exist at all. Second, EPBGR’s another assumption that gravitational waves travel at the speed of light turns out to be dynamically thus mechanistically groundless, by comparing with OEPIEP law. The newly established and verified OEPIEP law (and only OEPIEP law) dynamically reveals the quantum mechanism of why and how light (photons) gets its speed from the electron emitting it (P. 204 ~ 206, 2.5.1, Ch.2A, reference #1). Therefore, by contrast with OEPIEP law, it is dynamically clear that an accelerated mass does not have the dynamic mechanism generating gravitational waves traveling at the speed of light, let alone that an accelerated mass does not and cannot generate gravitational waves at all. In conclusion, there is actually no mechanism generating gravitational waves; the assumed gravitational waves do not and cannot exist at all.

The key to understanding of the proven fact that the assumed gravitational waves do not exist: (1) gravitational waves are the prediction of EPBGR, whereas EPBGR has been proven to be mechanistically thus essentially wrong literally due to it utterly skipping over the mechanism thus essence behind its describing phenomena via the “help” of a series of postulates and assumptions (P. 399 ~ 444, Ch.4A, reference #1). (2) The well-known and undeniable fact that EPBGR does not and cannot know why time and space are variable thus relative in gravitational field. (3) As long as you have known the greatest equation in the history of science, which is Einstein’s famous mass-energy equation (E = mc^2 or E0 = mc^2), you will easily understand the proven fact that the assumed gravitational waves do not exist, because OMDW law (P. 93 ~ 109, Ch.1A, reference #1), which proves the assumed gravitational waves do not exist (P. 881, reference #2), has also revealed the mechanism behind the greatest equation (P. 114 ~ 118, Ch.1B, reference #1). In other words, as long as you have known why mass has energy, you will easily understand the proven fact that the assumed gravitational waves do not exist. (5) Revolutionarily new concept and comprehensively thinking way.
