Light Speed, Gravitation and Quantum Instantaneity is a 2007 book by Anthony D Osborne and N. Vivian Pope, published by phi Philosophical Enterprises (Swansea, UK).

Overview

The book proposes a "commonsense" philosophical paradigm for modern physics — the Pope–Osborne Angular Momentum Synthesis (POAMS) — that reinterprets light-speed and gravitation in terms of angular momentum rather than invisible field forces. In this framework, force-free motion is naturally orbital, weight arises from constrained angular momentum (so that spin can affect measured weight), and electrostatic behaviour is recast as spin-based angular momentum. A discussion chapter re-examines the status of black holes, dark matter, and the cosmological redshift.

About the authors

Anthony D. Osborne earned a Ph.D. at City University, London, and taught relativity for over twenty-five years as a senior lecturer in mathematics at Keele University. N. Vivian (Viv) Pope (1922–2015) worked in telecommunications before studying the philosophy of science at Bangor and lecturing in philosophy; their collaboration began in 1982.
