Macroscopic quantization of gravity

TL;DR

This paper introduces the concept of macroscopic quantization of gravity to explain observed anomalies such as lunar recession and increasing astronomical unit, suggesting gravity propagates at speeds 10,000 to 100,000 times the speed of light, based on classical physics.

Contribution

It proposes a novel macroscopic quantization framework for gravity that accounts for observed anomalies without modifying standard physics models.

Findings

Gravity speed estimated between 10^4 c and 10^5 c

Explains lunar recession and AU increase anomalies

Based on classical physics principles

Abstract

The moon is receding from earth at an average rate of 3.8 cm/yr [6][7][9][12].This anomaly cannot be attributed to the well-known tidal exchange of angular momentum between earth and moon [8]. A secular change in the astronomical unit AU is definitely a concern, it is reportedly increasing by about 15 cm/yr [9][10], in this letter; the concept of macroscopic quantization of gravity is introduced to account for these anomalies on theoretical basis. Interestingly, it was found useful in measuring the speed of gravity! What is more interesting is the fact that this concept is based on solid well known classical physics with no modifications to any standard model. It was found that the speed of gravity cg is in the range 10^4 c < cg < 10^5 c.
