Abstract

This article proposes a new hypothesis regarding gravity, suggesting that the gravitational field is not generated by mass, but by the baryonic charge of a body.

Classical theory considers gravity as an emergent property of mass; however, this model explores the possibility that interactions between baryons are responsible for the curvature of space. In this context, the potential existence of an anti-gravitational field associated with antimatter is also discussed. The article further explores the possibility of unifying the strong nuclear force with gravity as scalar manifestations of the same space-time curvature.

Keywords: gravity, baryonic charge, baryons, hypothesis, antigravity field, antimatter, space-time

Ipoteza sarcinii barionice a gravitației

Rezumat

Acest articol propune o nouă ipoteză privind gravitația, sugerând că acest câmp nu este generat de masă, ci de sarcina barionică a unui corp.

Teoria clasică consideră gravitația ca o proprietate emergentă a masei; cu toate acestea, acest model explorează posibilitatea ca interacțiunile dintre barioni să fie responsabile pentru curbura spațiului. În acest context, se discută și potențiala existență a unui câmp antigravitațional asociat cu antimateria. Articolul explorează în continuare posibilitatea unificării forței nucleare tari cu gravitația ca manifestări scalare ale aceleiași curburi spațio-temporale.

1.Introduction

The theory of gravity is a cornerstone of modern physics, explaining cosmic-scale interactions and phenomena in classical and relativistic mechanics.

According to Newton’s universal law of gravitation and Einstein’s general theory of relativity, gravity depends solely on an object’s mass.

However, this approach does not explain certain cosmological phenomena, such as the matter-antimatter asymmetry, dark matter, and dark energy—elements that appear to influence the motion of galaxies without being directly observable.

This article explores the idea that the gravitational force may depend not on mass, but on baryonic charge, and that an equal quantity of antimatter may exist yet remain undetectable.

2. The Baryonic Charge Hypothesis

Spatial curvature is not generated by a body’s mass , but by the number of baryons (protons + neutrons) that compose the object.

The gravitational field intensity  generated by a body of mass  can be described as:

g = -G_B · Q_B · r/r³

 where: r  = position vector, Q_B = baryonic charge, G_B = baryonic gravitational constant ( ≈ gravitational constant G  multiplied by u_a)·

If we define the baryonic charge as: Q_B ≈ M/u_a with u_a as the atomic mass unit (~ mean mass of a baryon), we can express gravity as directly proportional to Q_B.

Key implications:

• Positive baryonic charge (i.e., baryonic matter) curves space positively; at subatomic distances (on the order of a nucleus radius), it manifests as a strong attractive force (analogous to the strong nuclear force); at larger distances, as conventional gravity.
• Negative baryonic charge (i.e., antibaryonic matter) curves space negatively; at short distances, it behaves as an intense repulsive force; at long distances, it generates an anti-gravitational field.
• Due to this repulsion, antimatter cannot form large bodies, only small aggregates, and is therefore hard to detect in the universe.
• Aggregates of two or more anti-baryons are inherently unstable or unobservable in nuclear reactions.
• Both matter and antimatter follow the same trajectories in a gravitational field, since their motion is dictated by the underlying space curvature.

2.1 Unifying the Strong Force and Gravity: A Natural Hypothesis

If baryonic charge governs space curvature, and this curvature manifests differently at subatomic and macroscopic scales, then the strong nuclear force and gravity may be two faces of the same phenomenon, distinguished only by scale.

3. Experimental Proposal

To test whether gravity depends on baryonic charge, we propose a simple experiment:

• Materials:
  • Two spheres with equal mass but made of different elements (e.g., lead vs. iron).
  • Gravitational pendulums or torsion balance.
  • Precision torsion sensors.
• Methodology:
  • Suspend the spheres under identical conditions and measure the gravitational attraction.
  • Compare results to identify potential differences arising from baryonic density variations.
  • Any measurable variation could suggest a gravitational dependence on baryonic charge.

4. Conclusions and Research Outlook

The proposed hypothesis asserts that gravity is not a direct consequence of mass, but of baryonic charge distribution in space.

This approach provides an alternative framework for interpreting gravitational interactions and enables a natural link with the strong nuclear force , both potentially emerging from the same space-time curvature, differentiated by scale.

The cosmological implications may be substantial: from explaining antimatter scarcity in the observable universe to reinterpreting phenomena attributed to dark matter and dark energy.

Future validation will require both experimental and numerical studies. Recommendations include:

• Computer simulations to examine gravitational field variations relative to baryonic density,
• Astronomical surveys in regions with anomalous matter distributions,
• Laboratory experiments designed to detect gravitational interactions based on baryonic composition.
