Abstract

Newton provided laws of gravitation and mechanics that continue to be employed, but failed to interpret the involvement of his absolute space in those laws. Radiation of gravitational waves in space-time offered by Einstein?s General Theory may be considered to similarly fail in providing a root cause of gravitation, as a process by which waves are driven are absent. Mach?s theory of distant masses is generally thought to provide a non-fictitious cause of inertia, but is challenged by logical means in this paper. Le Sage?s Theory of Gravitation appears to provide a common cause of gravitation and inertia, but is exposed to similarly defy logic. It is claimed, therefore, that a plausible cause of gravitation and inertia, along with a reason for similarity with mechanical force, has thus far not been presented. This paper proposes a new theory that uniquely provides such a governing mechanism.
