Reels · sixteen pictures, retold
Sixteen familiar physics graphics, each answered in twenty-four seconds. Every reel opens on the standard picture, then gives the NeoGravity account, the formula it rests on, and the test it has passed or still owes.
Reel 01 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: General relativity’s rubber sheet
Nothing is dented. The Plenum is compressed toward mass, and a body is driven by how steeply that density changes.
Originalg = (c²/3) ∇ ln ρ
11 Gravity as Hydrodynamics19 The Density-Gradient Law of Gravitation15 Working Backward Through the Maze
Reel 02 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: Sound: compression and rarefaction
A mass does to the Plenum what a loudspeaker does to air, except that the compression is held in place.
Derivedρ(r) = ρ₀ exp(3GM / rc²)
11 Gravity as Hydrodynamics12 The Dynamics of the Cosmic Fluid36 Pressure in a Fluid of Light
Reel 03 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: Diffraction at a slit
Gravity as refraction: light is slower in the denser Plenum near a mass, so its path swings toward it.
Fittedn(r) = exp(2GM / rc²)
11 Gravity as Hydrodynamics13 A Classical Hydrodynamic Paradigm
Reel 04 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: Ripples in space-time
The Plenum carries a shearing wave at the speed of light and a slower compression wave.
DerivedcT = c · cL = c/√3
Reel 05 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: Anatomy of a black hole
No surface of no return. Light climbing out fades without limit, and the inflow never reaches the speed of light.
Derivedz + 1 = ex, x = GM / rc²
28 Black Holes Without Horizons29 Inside a Black Hole31 When Black Holes Merge
Reel 06 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: The black hole’s shadow
The shadow comes out 4.63 percent wider than general relativity’s. Telescopes can check it.
Predicted4e against 6√3 GM/c²
Reel 07 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: The geometry of the universe
The galaxies stay put and the Plenum between them thins. The same equation, kept in a different set of books.
Derivedds² = a(η)² [ −c²dη² + dx² ]
Reel 08 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: The solar system
Radiation out, undertow in. Put the density profile into the law and Newton’s inverse square comes out exactly.
Derivedg = (c²/3) d/dr[3GM/rc²] = −GM/r²
19 The Density-Gradient Law of Gravitation22 The Sun's Gravity, Tested Four Ways39 Newton's Formulas Corrected, According to NeoGravity
Reel 09 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: Forms of radiation
The background radiation has a temperature, so an energy, so a weight. That weight is the Plenum’s density.
Measuredρ₀ = aT⁴/c² = 4.645 × 10⁻³¹ kg/m³
09 Reclaiming the Ether Plenum35 What the Ether Plenum Is Made Of
Reel 10 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: The formulas of quantum physics
A photon has no rest mass and still pushes on what it strikes. Solar sails have flown on that push.
MeasuredE² = (pc)² + (mc²)² → p = E/c
37 Solar Sails and the Solar Wind38 Quantum Mechanics and the Ether Plenum
Reel 11 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: A planet’s magnetic tail
A spinning planet stirs the Plenum around it, as the white of a raw egg turns with its shell. Gravity Probe B measured the drag.
Derivedωdrag = 2GJ / c²r³
Reel 12 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: The frame of a helix
A photon’s field turns once per wavelength. Take the wavelength as a screw’s pitch and the twist becomes exactly light’s thrust.
Standard mechanicsF = 2πτ / p → P/c
03 The NeoGravity Theorem38 Quantum Mechanics and the Ether Plenum
Reel 13 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: Curvature and torsion
In 1936 Beth hung a plate from a quartz fibre, sent circularly polarized light through it, and the plate turned.
Measuredtorque = P/ω
03 The NeoGravity Theorem38 Quantum Mechanics and the Ether Plenum
Reel 14 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: The laws of thermodynamics
The Plenum does what any fluid at rest does. It obeys a barometer’s law, with c²/3 where the temperature would be.
Derivedρ = ρ₀ exp(−Φ / (c²/3))
11 Gravity as Hydrodynamics12 The Dynamics of the Cosmic Fluid21 The Law of the Ether Plenum
Reel 15 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: Atomic structure
The energy ladder is untouched. What the Plenum sets is the rate at which the ladder is read: clocks run slower deeper in.
Derivedν(r) = ν₀ exp(−GM / rc²)
Reel 16 · 24 seconds · no sound
Retells: The qubit
Atoms in superposition, in two places at once, were dropped side by side. They fell alike to a few parts in a trillion, as the theory requires.
Measuredη = (1.6 ± 1.8 ± 3.4) × 10⁻¹²

The opening picture in each reel is drawn fresh for the reel; no one else’s graphic is reproduced. Drawings are not to scale. The label on each formula is the one the book’s Index of Formulas or the verification suite gives it. The longer reels are here.
