Gravity_Beyond the Speed of Light

The Great Universal Recycle (GUR) framework reconceives gravity not as a continuously propagating force but as a discrete, “instant-on” imprint that re-attaches to matter precisely at quantum collapse events. In Gravity – Beyond the Speed of Light: Testing the Instant-On Hypothesis inside the GUR Collapse Ledger, Richardson argues that each collapse (“Nowᵣ”) resolves local mass density against a stored gravitational memory, yielding the unity ratio gate Gₘ/M𝑑≈1—and that this gate triggers gravity faster than light could carry it (G > c). The paper surveys existing experimental hints (e.g. the five-fold excess in Twisted-Light frame-drag measurements), outlines a near-term program spanning torsion-pendulum tests, cubesat polarization loops, supernova timing, GRB jet “stair-steps,” and cosmic void analyses, and shows how any null result would definitively reinstate the classical c-limited view. By forging a clear, falsifiable path, this work positions the “instant-on” hypothesis as a bold yet testable alternative to general relativity’s finite-speed paradigm.

Abstract

The Great Universal Recycle (GUR) framework reconceives gravity not as a continuously propagating force but as a discrete, “instant-on” imprint that re-attaches to matter precisely at quantum collapse events. In Gravity – Beyond the Speed of Light: Testing the Instant-On Hypothesis inside the GUR Collapse Ledger, Richardson argues that each collapse (“Nowᵣ”) resolves local mass density against a stored gravitational memory, yielding the unity ratio gate Gₘ/M𝑑≈1—and that this gate triggers gravity faster than light could carry it (G > c). The paper surveys existing experimental hints (e.g. the five-fold excess in Twisted-Light frame-drag measurements), outlines a near-term program spanning torsion-pendulum tests, cubesat polarization loops, supernova timing, GRB jet “stair-steps,” and cosmic void analyses, and shows how any null result would definitively reinstate the classical c-limited view. By forging a clear, falsifiable path, this work positions the “instant-on” hypothesis as a bold yet testable alternative to general relativity’s finite-speed paradigm.
