A novel theory was proposed earlier to model systems with thermal gradients, based on the postulate that the spatial and temporal variation in temperature can be recast as a variation in the metric. Combining the variation in the metric due…
Many body gravity (MBG) is a novel modified theory of gravity formulated in a 5-D space-time-temperature framework, in which the variation in temperature is recast as a variation in the 5-D metric. Previous work on MBG has shown that it can…
